Too much work
D1a You’re going to read a newspaper article about stress at work. First answer these questions and then ask your partner.
Are you busy? Are you stressed?
Have you got too much work?
Have you got enough time for your hobbies?
D1b Read the article and find out what it says about the UK.
Not so cool Britannia
Too much work? Not enough time to relax? Are you stressed? You’re not alone! 77% of people in the UK are stressed at work. This is the shocking result of a new survey. People work too many hours and at weekends, too. Another problem, especially for women, is finding a balance between home and work. Many working women think they haven’t got enough time for their children. Their lives are too busy and the day isn’t long enough to do all the work. They are too tired in the evenings and have no time for their friends or hobbies.
D1c What do many women in the UK think? Look at the newspaper article
again and complete these sentences with “too” or “enough”.
1. They haven’t got _________time. 3. The day is not long _________. 2. Their lives are _________busy. 4. They feel _________tired.

Exploring learning
Tipps zum Lernen – BewegungDiese Unit befasst sich mit Tipps zum Aspekt „Bewegung und Lernen“. Das Abspeichern und spätere Abrufen von Informationen in der Fremdsprache kann durch gleichzeitig stattfindende Bewegung (z.B. aufstehen, gehen, schreiben, etc.) erleichtert werden.
A1e
TIPP 1 Sprache und BewegungWenn Sie in einer Fremdsprache etwas hören und sich dabei gleichzeitig bewegen – wie hier zu den Anweisun-gen in einem Fitnessprogramm – kann sich das Gehirn die Informationen besser merken und später einfacher wieder abrufen.
B2d
TIPP 2 Farbig markierenWenn man eine neue Struktur lernen möchte, ist es hilf-reich, diese besonders hervorzuheben, z.B. durch Unter-streichen oder Einkreisen von Wörtern in einem Text.
Die Bewegung, die Sie dabei ausführen, hilft Ihnen, sich auf die neue Struktur zu konzentrieren und sich diese besser zu merken. Der visuelle Effekt hilft natürlich auch.
D2a
TIPP 3 Notizen machenWenn man in einer Fremdsprache etwas hört oder liest, ist es oft sinnvoll, sich gleichzeitig Notizen zu machen. Wenn Sie etwas schreiben, unterstützt die Bewegung das Abspeichern von Informationen. Sie haben dann auch eine persönliche Aufzeichnung, die Sie später ver-wenden können.
Selbsteinschätzung

Wie lernen Sie am liebsten?
Sind Sie jemand, der sich gern bewegt? Auch beim Lernen? In dieser Einheit haben Sie Aktivitäten kennen gelernt, die den Lernprozess durch Bewegung fördern können. Nicht alle Menschen finden dies nützlich – pro-bieren Sie es einfach aus.
Companion S. 45 Im Abschnitt Your link to the Portfolio finden Sie Hinweise, wie Sie Ihren Lernfortschritt planen und durchdenken können.
Lernen außerhalb des Englischkurses
Schauen Sie sich Werbeprospekte und Anzeigen an und sammeln Sie möglichst viele englische Wörter und Ausdrücke aus den Bereichen „Körper“, „Gesundheit“ und „Fitness“. Speziell in der Werbung werden viele eng-lische Ausdrücke verwendet, wie z.B. „power“, „energy“, „trainer“.

You shouldn’t forget: life is not only worries. Find a balance in your life and start a hobby. Learn how to relax. Try yoga or tai chi.c
No, this is not normal. A person needs about 8 hours a day of sleep. You should go to see a doctor.Go green every day! White fruit and vegetables are good for your heart. Yellow/orange food reduces stress and they help you to see better. Red food gives you energy and power. So when you go shopping, don’t forget the “colours of the rainbow”.
Eat “colours”
Eat the “colours of the rainbow” for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eat fruit and vegetables five times a day. Eat “colours” and be healthy! Blue/purple fruit and vegetables are good for your memory. They can help you to learn better. Green food is good for your teeth.
