DAY 2 ARTICLE

TGIF: Science Says We're Skinniest on Fridays

How do you measure your weight? Probably with a scale, right? Sure, that's not bad, but have you considered using a calendar? We know what you're thinking-you can't weigh yourself with a calendar. But new research suggests that you should give it a try. That is, you get your weight using a scale (though BMI may be a more useful measurement), but keep a calendar handy to properly interpret the number on the dial. A January 2014 study published online in the journal Obesity Facts found that most people lose weight over the course of the week and then gain some on the weekends. That means that you're likely to be lightest on Friday and heaviest on Sunday. What sets overall weight-gainers apart from those who are able to lose weight is what happens between Monday and Friday. Weight-losers have what the researchers call a "stronger compensation pattern," which means that their downward weight fluctuation started immediately after the weekend and continued all the way through Friday. On the other hand, people who gain weight showed more variability in their weight fluctuations and did not show a clear decrease during the week. What does this tell us? It reminds us that fluctuating up to 5 pounds per week is totally normal. It shows that it's typical to go out and have a good time over the weekend, enjoying a brunch with friends or a fancier dinner than you muster most nights after work. (Although we have to wonder: Are the real weight-losers those that eat better on the weekends too?) And most importantly, it reveals that (if you are typical) the decisions you make during the week are going to have the biggest impact on your weight-and therefore on your health and beauty. 1. Have a healthful breakfast. Your mom always told you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Well, for people who worry about their weight, breakfast is especially important. A high-glycemic breakfast full of carbs that break down fast and spike your blood sugar will not only leave you hungry well before lunch, it will also make you crave sweets all the way to dinnertime. To keep yourself full and stave off cravings later on, make a breakfast that includes only whole

grains (such as steel cut oatmeal), and protein (such as egg whites, turkey sausage or a tofu scramble). 2. Eat the same thing for lunch every day. A study by researchers at the University of Buffalo and the University of Vermont found that when people ate the same lunch every day for a week, they consumed 125 fewer calories on day five than they had on day one. On the flip side, participants who varied up their midday meals ended up eating 45 more calories by the end of the week. 3. Get a food buddy. Research shows that if you eat your meals with a like-minded friend, you will both order healthier options and be happier with what you get. Hearing your friends choose healthy, lower-calorie options makes you want to choose healthy, lower-calorie options. It's a form of peer support. Need an email buddy? Try Enforcer e-coaching (there is a charge). 4. Try meal planning. During the week, when we're all running around worrying about work and errands and kids and more, sometimes what we eat becomes an afterthought. Make it a forethought instead. Take 30 minutes over the weekend (you might not even need that long) to plan out a menu of dinner and lunches for the week, then shop for those meals and make them Sunday evening. You can portion them ahead of time, and freeze some for later. That way, you'll have a healthy, well-thought-out meal literally at your fingertips when you're running off to work, or coming home exhausted from a long day.

DAY 4 DEBATE

Will hosting the winter Olympic Games in 2018 do more good than harm for Korea? The Olympics are some of the oldest and

most prestigious sporting events in history.

Originating in Greece as early as the 8th

century BC, the first modern international

Olympic Games were held in Greece in 1896.

Since that time, there have been very few

times in which the Olympics have not

occurred.

Since ancient times, hosting an Olympic Games has given the host country

international prestige while generating wealth and respect. However, the recent

Olympic games, such as the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, have come under

criticism due to the danger and expense involved in building and maintaining an

Olympic site. In fact, the question of turning a profit is somewhat of a gamble. Some

years the Olympic host city makes money. Some years the host city breaks even - or

even loses a massive amount of money. Do you think that it is worth t

Pros: Hosting the Winter Olympics in 2018 will do more good than harm for

Korea. Hosting the Olympics encourages tourism by showing the world how

beautiful and modern Korea has become. This has the potential for bringing

long-term financial gain. Millions of people watch the Olympics and many will

wish to visit the country, even many years into the future.

Likewise, the value in hosting a successful Olympics gives in terms of

international prestige is incalculable. Millions and millions of people will see

how great a country Korea is and Korea’s status will go up when people see

how successfully the games are conducted in Korea.

Cons: My opponent has only focused on the short-term risks involved in

hosting the Olympics. In the long term, the tourists that will come to Korea will

make up for any immediate loss of money. Even though some countries have

lost money, Korea has a history of successfully hosting international sporting

events and thereby will be able to host a successful Olympics.

In addition, the international prestige is incalculable. Any amount of money

being spent is justified in order to expose Korea to millions and millions of

people throughout the globe. Hosting a successful Olympics convinces other

governments of Korea’s capacity to build infrastructure and organize

international events.

DAY 5 BUSINESS IDIOM FOCUS

Why study idioms?

One of the keys to speaking like a native is the ability to use and

understand casual expressions, or idioms.

Example 1:

A: "I'm really tired of working."

B: "Just be patient. The weekend will be here before long."

Example 2: I am so excited about the next movie. But I should

worry because it will be open before long.

2. bent out of shape: needlessly worried about something.

Example 1: "I know you're worried about your job interview,

but don't get bent out of shape. You'll do just fine."

Example 2: Theres nothing t be bent out of shape about, it’s

just your birthday.

3. bite off more than one can chew: take responsibility for

more than one can manage.

Example 1: "I'm really behind with my project. Can you help

me? I'm afraid I bit off more than I could chew!"

Example 2: Always think ahead of time, don’t bit off what you

can’t chew.

4. blabbermouth: a very talkative person--especially one who

says things that should be kept secret.

Example 1: "Don't say anything to Bob unless you want the

whole office to know. Bob's quite a blabbermouth."

Example 2: Don’t be a blubbermouth if you don’t want to be

punished.
