❶ Intro
Even though we try to eat healthily, we might not be eating all of the right foods. We can take a pill that has the vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. Supplements are an easy way to get needed vitamins.
But some people are too focused on vitamins. They might actually be taking so many pills that their bodies can’t absorb them. While supplements can be helpful, they can also be unhealthy if you are too focused on only taking vitamins and not eating right.
Marni tells Jessica about all of the different vitamins that she takes. Find out more in today’s English lesson about taking a pill a day to keep the doctor away.
❷ Dialogue
Marni: Oh, my goodness. My pill case… I don’t know where it is…
Jessica: What? Why do you take so many pills?
Marni: It’s not pills, per se. It’s just vitamins. I take a lot of supplements.
Jessica: To get extra minerals in your diet?
Marni: I like to take fish oil because I believe it’s going to keep me young. And I take probiotics because I think it’s good for your digestion. And I take a lot of vitamin D, because we don’t get a lot of sun here.
Jessica: Wow.
Marni: And I take lots of calcium and magnesium and all that stuff.
Jessica: My goodness. I just take a multivitamin. I sometimes worry that I’m going to exceed my RDA, my recommended daily allowance.
Marni: Oh, really? I just take as much as I want. I don’t ever worry about that.
Jessica: I focus on my diet and hope that what I’m eating will then absorb into my body the way minerals do.
Marni: I just feel like if I don’t take all these supplements, I just am missing something. I just feel like covering all of my bases that way.
Jessica: Maybe I should look into this a little bit more.
Marni: Maybe you should. Maybe I should take less. Maybe we’ll learn from each other.
❸ Discussion
Marni is a little worried because she doesn’t know where her pill box is. She’s stressed because she takes a lot of vitamins and supplements. She thinks that if she doesn’t take her pills, then she’ll be unhealthy.
Jessica is a little shocked that Marni is so worried about her vitamins. She only takes one multivitamin, compared to all of the different pills that Marni takes. Jessica would rather not take more vitamins and minerals than the recommended daily allowance.
Do you take vitamins? Why do you feel like you need to take supplements?
❹ Grammar Point
Possessive Adjectives
Jessica says, “I focus on my diet and hope that what I’m eating will then absorb into my body the way minerals do.” Jessica uses posessive adjectives.
Possessive adjectives are used to show who (or what) owns something. The common possessive adjectives are my, your, his, her, its, our, their, and whose.
Posessive adjectives come before the noun they are modifying. For example, “I am riding my bike,” or, “The cat is cleaning its tail.” When Jessica talks about how she stays healthy, she says, “my diet,” and “my body.”
Possessive adjectives are different from possessive pronouns, which replace the noun in a sentence. Like all adjectives in English, possessive adjectives go directly before the noun. For example, “Let’s go to your house,” or, “Ruby is driving our car today.”
Be careful! There is no apostrophe (‘) in the possessive adjective its. We only use an apostrophe when writing the contraction of “it is” or “it has,” as in, “It’s time for lunch.”
Which is correct, “Did Christian lend us he’s basketball?” or, “Did Christian lend us his basketball?”
