Unit 1.
2
A sweet a love.
3
Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction.
4
When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects the parts of our brain that make us feel good.
5
Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more.
6
All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect.
7
In this way, it is, in fact, an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.
8
B. It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar, says scientist Richard Johnson.
9
One third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes.
10
Why?
11
Sugar, we believe, is one of the culprits, if not the major culprit, says Johnson.
12
See, our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar.
13
Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat.
14
In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food.
15
But today, most people have more than enough, so the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
16
D. So what is the solution?
17
It's obvious that we need to eat less sugar.
18
The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid.
19
From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it.
20
Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat.
21
So, while the foods appear to be healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added.
22
E. But some people are fighting back against sugar and trying to create a healthier environment.
23
Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit.
24
Other schools are trying to encourage exercise by building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise.
25
The battle has not yet been lost.

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "READING EXPLORER 2 Unit 1A SWEET LOVE" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.
Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
