Audio script:
A: So, can we smile more to live longer?
B: Yes, that's absolutely true.
A: Does sleeping in help you recover?
B: No, false. Waking up at the same time is better.
A: Should we eat more fresh fish, like sushi?
B: No. Sushi is great. But we shouldn't eat too much.
A:

And sitting too close to the TV?

B: No, it's not how close you sit. It's how long you watch TV for.

A: How about picking up food we drop. Is it OK?
B: No, that's a myth! You shouldn't eat it, ever!
A: OK, last one. Do vegetarians get less vitamins?
B: No, that's false. You don't need meat to get your vitamins.


3. Discuss the following in groups.
1. Which sentence are you most surprised by? Why?
The sentence “No, it's not how close you sit. It's how long you watch TV for” makes
me most surprised because my parents always say “Don’t sit too close to the TV. It
hurts your eyes!”
