SUMMARY OF COURSE

Fitness and English

Focus on using question tags to confirm information (e.g., "You’re almost there, aren’t you?"). Also emphasized the use of compound adjectives (e.g., "old-fashioned," "well-known").

Vocabulary about food and nutrition in English

Use of prefixes to change the meaning of words (e.g., "unhealthy" from "healthy") and the use of countable and uncountable nouns for different food items.

How to talk about unhealthy food

Use of reported questions to convey what someone else has asked (e.g., "Brian asked how many meals per day he should eat"). Introduction of direct and indirect questions (e.g., "What is the most important meal of the day?" vs. "I’d like to know if fast food is considered healthy").

Talk about food groups and diets in English

Use of phrasal verbs and prepositional phrases to describe actions (e.g., "lace up a pair of sneakers," "put on comfortable clothes"). Also discussed compound adjectives (e.g., "nutrient-rich" food).

Vocabulary about healthy ingredients in English

Future passive tense to describe planned or expected events (e.g., "The schedule won’t be made available until Sunday"). Also focused on prefixes and compound nouns in the context of food and nutrition.

Talk about healthy habits and nutrition myths

Use of conditional sentences to discuss the effects of habits (e.g., "If you eat too much sugar, you might gain weight"). Emphasis on modal verbs like "should" for advice and probability (e.g., "You should eat more vegetables").

How to have a conversation about a gym membership

Introduction to future tenses with "will" for planning and discussing benefits (e.g., "You will be allowed to use the treadmill once it’s free"). Use of modal verbs like "can" and "could" for permissions and possibilities.

How to talk about different exercises

Use of imperative sentences to give instructions (e.g., "Put on your sneakers," "Stretch your legs"). Also discussed compound adjectives and phrasal verbs related to exercise.

Vocabulary to talk about exercise outside the gym

Use of question tags and modal verbs to discuss activities (e.g., "You should use hiking boots, shouldn’t you?"). Also focused on future tense to plan activities (e.g., "We’ll go hiking another time").

How to talk about challenges and objectives in English

Use of future tenses to discuss goals (e.g., "I hope to gain more weight"). Also introduced hope + to and hope + that structures to express aspirations (e.g., "I hope to build bigger muscles").

How to talk about challenges and goals in English

Similar to "Challenges and Objectives," focusing on future tenses and hope structures. Also discussed modal verbs for expressing intentions (e.g., "I will try to run every day").

Final project on health and fitness

Review of various structures including imperatives for giving instructions (e.g., "Include a workout routine"), modal verbs for expressing recommendations (e.g., "You should avoid junk food"), and future tenses for planning.

Still working hard

Emphasized the use of present continuous tense to express ongoing effort (e.g., "I’m still working hard on my fitness goals"). Also reinforced the importance of perseverance language (e.g., "I’m going to keep improving").

Teacher! I liked this dynamic because I don't felt the course like a class, I was more like catch important information and some tips to well-know about English grammatic and healthy lifestyle. Was a little weird for me, seeing you in this course, because the previous that I saw was related to business world... But I loved it. I rate 10/10
