Make 6 groups
Decide and write your group name. Our group name is 〔 〕
Fill in the blanks of list of members
Write your own definition and rough idea of health.
“Health is・・・・・
Let me distribute today’s material for each of you.
Introduce yourself with your comments on health.
Look at the charts and materials delivered.
Read the following sentences.
World Health Organization (WHO) provides the definition on health as follows.
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
「健康とは、病気でないとか、弱っていないということではなく、肉体的にも、精神的にも、そして社会的にも、すべてが満たされた状態にあることをいいます。」（日本WHO協会訳）
With this definition, WHO tackles problems not only of medical field but also of broad affairs to assure peoples’ healthy, safe and secured living.
Discuss following sentences. Do you agree, or disagree?
“You don’t appreciate good health until you lose it.” “Good health is a lifetime treasure.”
“No one can deny any person’s right to live.” “Health is better than wealth.”
Read the following lines and express your own opinion on option you would like to choose:
①Take care of your health for 20 years by
・watching TV programs on health,
・reading books on health,
・taking some physical exercise,
・preparing and taking healthy meal.
・Although these take about 3 hours a day, namely 2.5 years during 20 years in total, these result in 2 years of longer life, in other words, spend 2.5 years for 2 years of longer life during your precious 20 years’ of remaining life
Or
②Spend your precious 20 years for whatever you like and feel happy without spending 3 hours per day, namely without 2.5 years, for keeping health, and die 2 years earlier than the person above
Or
③Any other options you would like to present and hope to choose

Please note that the practice is allocated after the dinner of ESS
English Camp 2014.
Genre: Listening
Title: Listening to Fun Stuff
Since everybody feels tired a little bit after the dinner, those
practices (especially before drinking parties) should be easy ones.
And this one is no exception :-)
The practice consists of two parts.
Firstly, you are asked to listen to audio and tell what it says.
The material will be picked up from TV shows, songs and audio books.
In the latter part, you will be listening to the introductions of
various good old TV shows. All you need to do is guess the names of
TV shows, and share what you know about them.
Let's have fun!
Cheers!
