gist of the Content

-Students may not be able to pick up details from the listening

>Chunk the listening (pause-play-pause-play)

-If time is short

>Cut post-activity discussion short and only ask 2~3 students to share their diet experiences

-If students finish their tasks earlier than anticipated

>Let students share their diet experiences and good ways of diet as many as possible

and discuss if the certain diet way is why good or why bad.
