(In the classroom)
Ela: I don't feel well. I'm so hungry.
Cody: Are you all right? Have you had breakfast yet?
Ela: Yes, I have already had breakfast, but I only ate a banana. I'm on a diet.
Cody: How long have you been on a diet?
Ela: Since I last saw the photo of us in the Line group. I look fat in the photo. Now I eat very little for each meal, and sometimes, I just skip meals.
Cody: You haven't eaten enough food for over a week. That's crazy!
Ela: I know, but I really want to be as slim as possible.
Cody: Appearance is not everything, and I think you look great.
Cody: If you really want to lose weight, I have some tips for you.
Ela: I'm all ears!
Cody: A balanced diet is important. Eating so little or eating only one type of food is bad for your health.
Ela: I didn't know that. What else?
Cody: Have you ever tried exercising?
Ela: No, I never have. I don't like to exercise.
Cody: You haven't seen my sister for a long time, have you? She has lost five kilograms since she started exercising.
Ela: Five kilos? How does she do it?
Cody: She exercises at least three times a week.
Ela: So building a habit of exercising is also important?
Cody: You got it.
Ela: I see. I need to take action now.
(在教室裡)
艾拉:我感到不舒服。我好餓。
寇弟:妳還好嗎?妳吃早餐了沒?
艾拉:有,我已經吃了早餐,但我只吃了一根香蕉。我在節食。
寇弟:妳已經節食多久了呢?
艾拉:從我上次在 Line 群組看到我們的照片開始。我在照片裡看起來很胖。我現在每餐都吃很少,而且有的時候,我直接不吃。
寇弟:妳已超過一個星期沒有吃足夠的食物。這樣太荒唐了!
艾拉:我知道,但我真的想要變得越苗條越好。
寇弟:外表不是一切,而且我覺得妳看起來很棒啊。
寇弟:如果妳真的想要減重,我有一些秘訣可以給妳。
艾拉:我洗耳恭聽!
寇弟:均衡的飲食很重要。吃太少或只吃一種食物都不利於妳的健康。
艾拉:我以前不知道這件事。還有嗎?
寇弟:妳有嘗試過運動嗎?
艾拉:沒,從來沒有過。我不喜歡運動。
寇弟:妳很久沒見到我姐姐了,對吧?她從開始運動至今,已瘦了五公斤。
艾拉:五公斤?她是怎麼辦到的?
寇弟:她每週至少運動三次。
艾拉:所以建立運動習慣也很重要?
寇弟:沒錯。
艾拉:我了解了。我需要現在採取行動。
