Important facts about vegetables

Title 1:

Vegetables, like fruits, are low in calories and fats but contain good amounts of vitamins and

minerals. All the Green-Yellow- Orange vegetables are rich sources of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, beta-carotene, vitamin B-complex, vitamin-C,

vitamin-A, and vitamin K. As in fruits, vegetables too are home

for many antioxidants. These health-benefiting compounds firstly; help protect the human body from oxidant stress, diseases, and cancers, and secondly; help the body develop the capacity to fight against these

by boosting immunity. Additionally, vegetables are packed with soluble as well as insoluble dietary fiber known as non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) such as cellulose, hemi-cellulose and pectin. Fiber offers protection from conditions like chronic constipation, hemorrhoids and colon cancer.

Title 2:

Eat at least 5-7 servings of fresh vegetables every day. Dietary

guidelines now recommend at least nine servings of vegetable and fruit nutrition per day. Seasonal vegetables should be encouraged. Bring variety in the choice of vegetables in your everyday diet. Yellow and

orange vegetables are rich in Vitamin-A, and ß-carotenes, whereas dark-

green vegetables are a good source of minerals and antioxidants.

(18)

Vegetables, vegetarian dishes and herbs

Title 3:

Whenever possible, go for organic farm vegetables to get maximum health benefits. They are not very expensive if you can find them from the nearby local farm owners. Organic vegetables tend to be smaller but have a rich flavour, have some good concentration of vitamins, minerals and are loaded with numerous health benefiting antioxidants. In the

markets, however, always buy small quantities so that they should last within a day or two. There is no point in eating unfit greens! Buy

vegetables that feature freshness, are bright in colour and flavour, and feel heavy in your hands. Look carefully for spots, fungal mould and signs of insecticide spray. Buy whole vegetables instead of sections of

them.

Title 4:

First thing you need to do soon after shopping your choice of vegetables is to wash them thoroughly, especially green leafy

vegetables. Rinse in saltwater for few minutes, and gently swish in cool water until you are satisfied with cleanliness. This way, you ensure them free from dirt, sand and any chemical sprays. Use them early while fresh because, firstly, certain vegetables have very short shelf life and

secondly, the health benefiting properties of a vegetable declines with

time. However, if you need to store them, then place inside plastic wrappings or in zip pouches in order to preserve their nutrition for short periods until you use them.

• Bringing steps/facts into a correct order

2. Reorganisieren/Analysieren This level requires students to use specific rules (grammar, spelling and/or vocabulary) in a limited context. This can be covered in tasks like:

• Rewriting given sentences using a specific grammatical rule

• Translating given sentences using a specific grammatical rule

• Spotting grammatical mistakes in given sentences and correcting them

• Spotting spelling/vocabulary mistakes in given sentences and correcting them

3. Bewerten und Gestalten This is probably the most challenging task as this one asks students to freely use language. There are usually just some side facts given and students can use language more creatively.

Typical tasks are:

• Writing a dialogue

• Designing a flyer

• Writing an article/discussion/comment/letter/email…

(44)

Design: What makes a task a good one?

•

Avoid contradictory (= widersprüchliche) questions/tasks.

•

Do not use double negations in tasks (no-no-sentences).

•

Make sure that the tasks clearly describe what the students are expected to do by using actions verbs like “translate”, “match” or “write”

•

Avoid mistakes and errors in your tasks and solutions.

•

Choose a similar design for all your questions so students don’t get confused.

•

Provide enough space for students to write down their answers.

•

You can make questions more challenging by adding distractors (= unnötige Zusatzinformationen, um den Leser abzulenken). However, try not to overuse them as this can get highly frustrating at some point.
