17. Obesity and Poor Fitness
What does the title of
the selection tells us?

18. Obesity and Poor Fitness
When do we say that an
individual is obese? is of
poor health?

19. Obesity and Poor Fitness
What is the normal Body
Mass Index (BMI)?

20. Obesity and Poor Fitness
Body Mass Index
(BMI)
If your BMI is 18.5 to 24.9,
it falls within the Healthy
Weight range.

22. Activity 3
Graphic Organizer
Obesity and Poor Fitness

23. Create a graphic organizer using
the given selection. Feel free to
use your desired diagram you
see fit to use in the selection.
Obesity and Poor Fitness

24. What is the
presented situation
in the selection?
Obesity and Poor Fitness

25. Situation
Consumption of processed and convenience
foods and our dependence on the car have led
to an increase in obesity and reduction in the
fitness level of the adult population. In some
countries, especially industrialized ones, the
number of obese people can amount to one
third of the population

26. What problem had
arised from the
situation?
Obesity and Poor Fitness

27. Problem
obesity and poor fitness
lead to a decrease in life
expectancy

28. What solutions
was/were presented
in the selection?
Obesity and Poor Fitness

29. Solution
for individuals and governme
nts to work together to tackle
this issue and improve their
citizens' diet and fitness.

30. Problem-Solution
Pattern of Development

31. Problem - Solution
Problem-solution paragraphs/essays
consider the problems of a particular
situation, and give solutions to those
problems.

32. Problem – Solution: Four Components
 Situation
 Problem
 Solution
 Evaluation

33. Problem – Solution: Four Components
Situation
the set of things that are
happening and the conditions
that exist at a particular time
and place

34. Problem – Solution: Four Components
Problem
a state of difficulty/trouble
that needs to be resolved.

35. Problem – Solution: Four Components
Solution
a statement or method
of solving a problem.

36. Problem – Solution: Four Components
Evaluation
the process of judging or
calculating the quality,
importance, amount, or
value of something.

37. Problem – Solution: Structure
 a block structure
 a chain structure

38. Problem – Solution: Block Structure
all of the problems are listed
first, and all of the solutions
are listed afterwards

39. Problem – Solution:
Block Structure

40. Problem – Solution: Chain Structure
each problem is followed
immediately by the
solution to that problem

41. Problem – Solution:
Chain Structure

42. What structure was
used in the selection?
Obesity and Poor Fitness

43. Consumption of processed and
convenience foods and our dependence
on the car have led to an increase in
obesity and reduction in the fitness level
of the adult population. In some
countries, especially industrialized ones,
the number of obese people can amount
to one third of the population. This is
significant as obesity and poor fitness lead
to a decrease in life expectancy, and it is
therefore important
for individuals and governments to work
together to tackle this issue and improve
their citizens' diet and fitness.

44. This is significant as obesity and poor fitness
lead to a decrease in life expectancy, and it is
therefore important
for individuals and governments to work together
to tackle this issue and improve their citizens'
diet and fitness.
Obesity and poor fitness decrease life
expectancy. Overweight people are more likely
to have serious illnesses such as diabetes and
heart disease, which can result in premature
death. It is well known that regular exercise can
reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke,
which means that those with poor fitness levels
are at an increased risk of suffering from those
problems.

45. This is significant as obesity and poor fitness lead to a decrease in life
expectancy, and it is therefore important for individuals and governments to work
together to tackle this issue and improve their citizens' diet and fitness.
….
Changes by individuals to their diet and their physical activity can increase life
expectancy. There is a reliance today on the consumption of processed foods,
which have a high fat and sugar content. By preparing their own foods, and
consuming more fruit and vegetables, people could ensure that their diets are
healthier and more balanced, which could lead to a reduction in obesity levels. In
order to improve fitness levels, people could choose to walk or cycle to work or to
the shops rather than taking the car. They could also choose to walk up stairs
instead of taking the lift. These simple changes could lead to a significant
improvement in fitness levels.
Governments could also implement initiatives to improve their citizens' eating and
exercise habits. This could be done through education, for example by adding
classes to the curriculum about healthy diet and lifestyles. Governments could
also do more to encourage their citizens to walk or cycle instead of taking the car,
for instance by building more cycle lanes or increasing vehicle taxes. While some
might argue that increased taxes are a negative way to solve the problem, it is no
different from the high taxes imposed on cigarettes to reduce cigarette
consumption.

46. In short, obesity and poor fitness are a
significant problem in modern life, leading to
lower life expectancy. Individuals and
governments can work together to tackle this
problem and so improve diet and fitness. Of the
solutions suggested, those made by individuals
themselves are likely to have more impact,
though it is clear that a concerted effort with the
government is essential for success. With
obesity levels in industrialized and industrializing
countries continuing to rise, it is essential that
we take action now to deal with this problem.

47. Individual Activity
