Have you ever wondered why Americans struggle with watching their weight,
while the French, who consume all that rich food-the bread, the cheese, and the
heavy sauces---continue to stay thin? Now a report from Cornell University suggests a
possible answer. A study of almost 300 participants from France and the U.S. provides
clues about how lifestyle and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers
concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans
tend to stop when their plate is completely empty, or they have reached the end of their
favorite TV show.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, who writes extensively about health issues, the
French see eating as an important part of their lifestyle. They enjoy food and, therefore,
spend a fairly long time at the table. In contrast, Americans see eating as something
to do quickly as they squeeze meals between the other activities of the day. Mercola
believes Americans have lost the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they
keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he argues that, by
tradition, the French tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers' markets
where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality
meats and cheeses for each meal. In contrast, Americans tend to drive their cars to huge
supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the whole week.
Despite all these differences, new reports show that recent lifestyle changes may be
affecting French eating habits. Today, the rate of obesity--or extreme overweight­
among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast-food restaurants gain acceptance,
and the young tum their backs on older traditions, the obesity rate among French
children has reached 17%-and is growing.

For example: "exchanging messages."

I n my opinion, there are more


benefits than problems. For

I think the I nternet is OK, but there


are real ly too many problems. First
of all, you have to be very careful if
you shop online with a credit card.

U N IT O rga n iz i n g i d eas

When you want to describe the benefits and problems of an issue, there are d ifferent ways you can organ ize your ideas.
Here a re some approaches.

Approach 1 : I n one paragraph


One way is to describe all the advantages and disadvantages i n one paragraph. Fol lowing a re notes of the details that
will be included in the paragraph.

TH E A D vA NTA G ES A N D DISA D vA NTA G ES O F SM A RT PH O N ES

D i s a d v a n ta g e s : b o th e r o th e r p e o p l e, m a k e p e o p l e d e p e n d e n'lj a r e e a ry to l o se

This approach is good for a short piece of writing consisti ng of only a few sentences. However, if you want to develop
those ideas i n more than just a few sentences, it is easier for the reader to follow if you can organize the deta i ls i n one
of the following ways:

Approach 2: I n two paragraphs


I n this approach , you can use a first paragraph to describe all the advantages. Then you can use a second paragraph to
describe all the disadvantages. Following a re notes of the deta i ls that will be i ncluded i n each paragraph.

Approach 3: In more than two paragraphs


In this approach, you can use a separate paragraph to focus on each d ifferent topic. In each paragraph, you can
describe both adva ntages and disadvantages. Followi ng a re notes of the deta i ls that will be i ncluded in each paragraph.

A U s i n g Approach 2, organ ize the ideas i nto two paragraphs: paragraph 1 is about the benefits of re nti ng a ca r; paragra p h 2
is about the p roblems. Write 1 or 2 next to each idea.

_ It g ives you the freedo m to go wherever you want to go _ If you 're trave l i n g with a g ro u p of peop le, it cou l d cost
whenever you wa nt. less than payi ng for bus and tra i n tickets .

need . cou ld cost a l ot of m o n ey i n rental fees and gas.
_ To d rive safely, you have to become fa m i l i a r with the

B Now, on a sepa rate sheet of paper, p ractice u s i n g Approach 3 . O rgan ize the sentences fro m Exercise A
