ROLEPLAY

STUDENT A (Do not show to Student B)

You work as a nutritional therapist. One of your clients who is really overweight and has diabetes
wants some advice from you on what is the best/least painful way of losing weight. You don’t know
the client so you have to ask him/her questions about food s/he eats, eating habits, exercise,
smoking, etc. (think of other questions, take notes, ask about details, etc.). You believe the only
way s/he could lose weight is to change her/his lifestyle completely. Nothing else will help in
your opinion. Try to warn him/her (use if-conditionals) about the health problems connected with
obesity and diabetes and persuade him/her to do something about it.

 ROLEPLAY

STUDENT B (Do not show to Student A)

You have an appointment with a nutritional therapist. You want to lose some weight because you
suffer from diabetes (currently you weigh 120 kg). You are a bit lazy and think that maybe
exercising once a week will be enough. You like to eat a lot, smoke and drink and you don’t like
sports. You’re not planning on a complete change of your lifestyle. So far you have had no
complications connected with diabetes and obesity. You don’t like people who try to persuade you to
do something you don’t want to do. You can ask the nutritional therapist questions about latest
research concerning diabetes, diet pills, liposuction, the negative sides of exercising too much,
etc.
