Read the dialogue and act it out in front of the class.

Terry : Eva, have you ever heard about the water diet?

Eva : Yes. My sister took the water diet last year.

Terry : Really? Tell me what it is!

Eva : Well, actually, the diet involves drinking 8 cups of cold water every day.

Terry : 8 cups of cold water?

Eva : Right. And it must be at regular intervals throughout the day. It involves drinking a glass of
water before each meal to suppress your appetite.

Terry : Wow. That sounds great.

Eva : It is. If I were you, I would try the diet. You know, doing this will help you get into the habit of
limiting the portions of food you consume during each meal.

Terry : You mean by drinking water, we will feel full before a meal, thus helping us consume less
calories.

Eva : But keep in mind that this is not a water-only diet. Water-only diets can actually be quite
dangerous if done for too long a period of time.

Terry : Really?

Eva : Your body needs nutrients to stay healthy and maintain a strong metabolism. If you drink only
water for more than a couple of days, when you start eating again you run the risk of gaining even more
weight because your metabolism will have slowed tremendously.

Terry : If you were in my position, would you try this diet?

Eva : Why not? My sister took the water diet last year. There was a slight decrease in her weight
after a week of dieting.

Terry : Thanks for your advice.

Eva : That’s okay.
