Opening 1
<\/strong>Good morning, everyone. Before I start my presentation, I\u2019d like to ask you all a question. How many of you here today have eaten junk food in the last week? Put your hand up please if your answer is yes. Hmmm, that\u2019s almost everyone. Now that\u2019s very interesting, because the topic of my presentation today, is junk food and how it\u2019s contributing to teenage obesity.<\/p>

Opening 2
<\/strong>Good morning, everyone. Before I start my presentation today, I\u2019d just like to share a few facts with you. As I\u2019m sure you all know, here in Scotland, we have the highest mountain in the UK. I\u2019m proud to say that we also have the largest freshwater lake. But let me tell you something that I\u2019m not very proud about. According to a recent survey, Scotland has the highest incidence of teenage obesity, not only in the UK, but in all of Europe. And in my presentation today, I\u2019m going to be looking at junk food and how its consumption is contributing to the problem.<\/p>

Opening 3
<\/strong>Good morning, everyone. Before we get started, I have a little task for you. Can you stand up please, if you\u2019ve had any junk food in the last week? Hmmm, that looks like more than half of you, which is very interesting, because the topic of my presentation today is junk food and how its consumption is contributing to teenage obesity.<\/p>

Opening 4
<\/strong>Good morning, everyone. Before we get started, I\u2019d just like you to listen to something. It\u2019s part of a poem by the writer, Barbara Rice:

So many nights, I whimpered and cried,
Thought that my prayers had all been denied.
Stuffing my feelings, ashamed of my plight,
Trying to stop, with all of my might.
Shoving in cold spaghetti, at three in the morning,
Frying shrimps by the time the daylight was dawning.
Drinking gallons of soda, my heart wildly beating,
Hating myself, \u2019cause I couldn\u2019t stop eating.
The monster in me would come out to play,
And as much as I begged him, he wouldn\u2019t go away.
Morning would come, and that is when,
The whole vicious cycle would start once again \u2026<\/p>

The title of that poem is Out of Hell: Reflections On Losing 150 Pounds and if you haven\u2019t already guessed, the topic of my presentation today is junk food and teenage obesity.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\t

<\/strong>Good afternoon everyone. Before I start my presentation today, I\u2019d like to share a few facts with you.

a) Global warming is a serious problem and one that demands our attention. The current climate is much, much milder than it used to be and this is having a number of different effects.

b) One effect of global warming is that the warmer temperatures are causing the glaciers to melt. And from an environmental point of view, the implications of this are likely to be very, very serious indeed.

c) Another consequence of global warming is that we\u2019re noticing some significant changes in animal behaviour. Many, many animals are increasing their grazing range and this is having a knock-on effect on all sorts of things.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\t

a) As I think you all know, more and more scientists are getting involved in climate research.

b) And of course, the good thing about this is that we\u2019re getting better and better at predicting what the longterm consequences of global warming are most likely to be.

c) But we still have the issue of how we should actually go about reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I think the root of the problem is that global warming affects almost every part of modern society. Take transportation, for example. We\u2019re all so dependant on cars, it\u2019s\u00a0 difficult to imagine our lives without them. And it\u2019s getting harder and harder to come up with affordable alternatives.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\t

b) According to one website, on an annual basis, extreme poverty claims the lives of 10 million, 950 thousand children. Just think about that. If you do the maths, it works out as 30,000 children every day.<\/p>
