15. Ваш зарубежный друг часто ходит в Макдональдс. Объясните ему, что это не очень полезно для здоровья, приведите не менее 2 причин. Дайте совет, как правильно питаться, чтобы быть здоровым.

• As far as I know you often go to Mc Donald`s restaurants.

• Yes, there is one not far from my place and I go there on my way home from school.

• Don`t you know that fast food is not healthy?

• Not healthy? I don`t care, it is tasty. I enjoy eating cheeseburgers, apple pies and French fries. And milk shakes, they are delicious.

• But all this food is rich in fat and calories and lacks vitamins and minerals. Eating fast food can make you overweight. All these burgers and pies just fill your stomach. A typical Mc Donald`s lunch can give you at least 900 calories which is more than many people eat a day and about twice as much as most people eat for lunch.

• I don`t believe my ears. I don`t want any extra kilos.

• More than that, sweet milk shakes and Coke make you feel thirsty very soon and they say meat in burgers is genetically modified.

• I will never go to Mc Donald`s, bot what should I have for lunch?

• You know, healthy food should contain something from each group of nutrients( proteins, carbohydrates and fat). It should also contain vitamins and minerals. If I were you I would have salad with vegetable oil, seafood or fish, white meat, milk( dairy) products, fruit and fruit juice.

• I think I`ll start eating healthy food since tomorrow.

16. Ваш зарубежный друг считает, что компьютер вреден для здоровья. Вы не согласны. Докажите, что он ошибается. Приведите не менее 2 причин в пользу компьютера.

• You told me yesterday that you had to make a report on modern English poetry. Why don`t you start working on it?

• You see I have very little material for such a report. I have to go to the library but it is not open today.

• Why not use your personal computer? The Internet gives us access[\ ekses] to the best libraries in the world.

• Don`t you know that computers are very harmful for our health?

• As far as I know most scientists don`t think so.

• But working on a computer can make your eyesight worse.

• Watching television for a long time or reading in a dark room can also make your eyesight worse but it doesn`t mean that we should not read or watch TV. Computers and the Internet are a great invention. They have changed our life completely: computers can connect us with other people ( people from other countries), do calculations, check the condition of patients, design buildings, help workers to do different work, provide people with information. They can teach us different subjects and play games with us.

• You seemed to be a great fan of computers.

• I believe computers can be our friends. We only should follow some rules.

• What are they?

• Don`t work more then... hours a day. Make short breaks every 15 minutes. Air and dust the room regularly. Don`t sit very close to the screen.
