Read the following text.   We need food, water and oxygen to live. Nutrients are the substances which our body needs to live, grow, and make repairs. Nutrients also give us energy. The main nutrients are:   1 Carbohydrates give us energy. We need energy for everything we do, such as running around, talking, thinking etc. We can find carbohydrates in bread, potatoes, rice, fruits, cakes, and other sweet foods. 2 Proteins. Our body uses them to grow and repair itself. We can find proteins in meat, fish, eggs, nuts, milk and beans. 3 Fats are needed by your body for energy and warmth. There are two types of fats: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fats are in animal products, such as butter and fatty meat. Unsaturated fats are found in non-animal products such as olive oil and nuts. 4 Vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are essential for our bodies to function well. Minerals are nutrients that plants get from the soil and pass on to you. Fruits and vegetables are good sources, but minerals and vitamins are also found in other foods. Milk gives us calcium for our bones. 5 Fibre is a type of carbohydrate found in wholemeal bread, fruits and vegetables. We cannot digest fibre, so it helps the muscles of your intestines to move food efficiently through your digestive system. 6 Water is vital for life. Most of our body is made up of water, so it is essential. We drink water, and our body also obtains water from food. Vocabulary: Warmth: heat Fatty: with fats Wholemeal: wholegrain, brown.   Activity 5.

I can't find "fibre". ·         Where's the word "proteins"? Do you see water? ·           Session 4   REMEMBER The digestive system converts the food we eat into nutrients which our body can absorb. It carries out three important functions: digestion, absorption and elimination of waste. 1.    Digestion begins in the mouth. 2.    Your throat muscles guide food through the pharynx and esophagus, and passes it into the stomach. 3.    In the stomach, gastric juices mix with the chewed food. The chyme leaves the stomach and reaches the small intestine. 4.    The chyme mixes with juicies from the intestine, the pancreas and the liver. 5.    The nutrients from the food travel into the blood through the thin walls of the small intestine. This is called absorption. 6.    Water, and any food that cannot be digested, moves into the first part of your large intestine, called the colon. Then the waste substances pass into the second part of your large intestine, called the rectum. 7.    The solid waste, called faeces, is expelled through the anus.   Activity 8. Order the sentences related to digesting a banana. Then, explain the process to your classmates.     ·         -After that, the banana is mixed with gastric juices in my stomach ·         -And the waste substances go to the large intestine ·         -The chewed banana goes down through the esophagus ·         -Then, the food goes to the small intestine ·         -The waste substances go to the colon and rectum ·         -Then, the banana is mixed with saliva ·         -Finally, the faeces are expelled through the anus ·         -First, I chew the banana in my mouth .   Session 5 Activity 9.
