Today I have an interesting article for you to read (intermediate-advanced).
The link to read the article is here. I've also included a few vocabulary words below, with links to definitions and translations.
As most people are aware today, the United States has a large problem with obesity, and a very large problem with childhood obesity. We are famous for our greasy, fried foods, junk food snacks, and generally unhealthy eating habits. There are several national campaigns in process now to try to show people how to make healthier food choices, and the biggest battlegrounds in these campaigns are public schools.
You also have the option to listen to the story, which is less than 4 minutes. I encourage you to try out both. By clicking the button on the right that says ''Transcript'', you can see an exact transcript of the radio report to follow along, if necessary.
A few vocabulary words that you might need to look up are:
Fiery: definition; translation
Guideline: definition; translation
Paean: definition; translation
Cash-strapped: definition; translation
What do you think about this article? Was it difficult to comprehend? What is your opinion on the issue of ''healthy'' junk foods in schools? Tell me in the comments! Leave your questions there, too, or bring them with you to our next class!
Happy studying!
