SPOKEN ENGLISH AND BROKEN ENGLISH

By G. B. Shaw

If you are learning English because you intend to travel in England and wish to be understood there, do not try to speak English perfectly because if you do, no one will understand you.

Though there is no such thing as perfectly correct English, there is presentable English which we call 'Good English', but in London nine hundred and ninety nine out of every thousand people not only speak bad English but speak even that very badly. You may say that even if they do not speak English well themselves they at least understand it when the speaker is a foreigner, the better he speaks the harder it is to understand him. Therefore the first thing you have to do is to speak with a strong foreign accent, and speak broken English: that is English without any grammar. Then every English person will at once know that you are a foreigner, and try to understand and be ready to help you.

HEALTH

We are healthy when all parts off our bodies and minds work together properly. We cannot be happy unless we feel well.

The human body is much more complicated than any machine. Yet it needs less day-to-day (5)______ than machine. No machine can do all the things the body can do. No machine will work for seventy years or more, day and night requiring only air, water food, and a few simple rules.

Fundamental health-care concerns include:

Smoking This is strongly linked to heart disease, stroke, bronchitis, lung cancer, and other serious (6)________.

Exercise Regular physical exercise improves (7)______, slows down the gradual decline in efficiency of the heart and lungs, and so helps to prolong life.

Diet A healthy diet contains plenty of vegetable fibre, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, and polyunsaturated (насыщенный) fats (which keep the level of blood cholesterol low), not saturated (animal) fats (which contribute to cholesterol storage in blood vessels).

Weight obesity (тучность, ожирение) (defined as generally being 20% or more above the desirable weight for age, sex, build, and height) is associated with many potentially dangerous conditions, such as (8)_____

disease, diabetes, and stroke, as well as muscular and joint problems, and breathing difficulties.

Alcohol Recommended maximum intake is no more than 28 units of alcohol a week for men, no more than 21 for women.
