T asks Ss the following questions on the recording: (5 minutes) How did the speaker make up his mind to become a vegetarian? (He came to be emotionally attached to two turkeys. Later, however, they ended up on the Thanksgiving dinner table. Therefore he considered it cruel to kill and eat animals.) Why did he think that his mother couldn’t become a vegetarian? (Because she didn’t know the two turkeys personally to sympathize with their fate.) 2. Discussion: Who are those dieters? (25 minutes) 1) Ss form groups to discuss the following questions: What does it mean when someone is on a diet? Why do some people go on a diet? Is it always healthy to be on a diet? Do you know someone who is on a diet? If so, please describe. What kind of diet do you think is the most healthful? 2) Some Ss groups report their discussion results to class. 3) T may move on to Text A by saying: In Text A we are going to read about the reasons for becoming a vegetarian, and in Text B there are counter arguments from a meat eater. After that we are going to have a debate about whether a veggie diet is better than a diet containing animal meat, or vice versa. This should be great fun. Just bear in mind that what you learn from both texts may be used in the debate. While-reading tasks T d
