Lesson 8, Ex.3d)

Get a good night's sleep. Getting enough sleep helps keep your body and mind in good shape. That will help you to deal with any negative stressors. If you stay up late and still need to get up early for school, you may not get all the hours of sleep you need.

Treat your body well. Experts agree that getting regular exercise helps people manage stress. And eat well to help your body function at its best. Under stressful conditions, the body needs its vitamins and minerals more than ever

Watch what you're thinking. Your outlook and thoughts influence the way you see things. Is your cup half full or half empty? A healthy dose of optimism can help you make the best of stressful circumstances.

Solve the little problems. Learning to solve everyday problems can give you a sense of control. Develop skills to calmly look at a problem and take action toward a solution. Feeling capable of solving little problems builds the inner confidence and serves you well in times of stress.

Lesson 9, ex.3b

Sick by Shel Silverstein

"I cannot go to school today,"

Said little Peggy Ann McKay.

"I have the measles and the mumps,

A gash, a rash and purple bumps.

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,

I'm going blind in my right eye.

My tonsils are as big as rocks,

I've counted sixteen chicken pox

And there's one more--that's seventeen,

And don't you think my face looks green?

My leg is cut--my eyes are blue--

It might be instamatic flu.

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,

I'm sure that my left leg is broke--

My hip hurts when I move my chin,

My belly button's caving in,

My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,

My 'pendix pains each time it rains.

My nose is cold, my toes are numb.

I have a sliver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,

I hardly whisper when I speak.

My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,

My temperature is one-o-eight.

My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,

There is a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?

What's that? What's that you say?

You say today is. . .Saturday?

G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

UNIT 5

Lesson 1, Ex.1

The best six doctors anywhere And no one can deny it Are sunshine, water, rest, and air Exercise and diet. These six will gladly you attend If only you are willing Your mind they'll ease Your will they'll mend And charge you not a shilling. Lesson 2, Ex. 2

A: Eat a variety of foods. You need more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and no single food supplies them all. Your daily food selection should include bread and other whole-grain products; fruits; vegetables; dairy products; and meat, poultry and fish.

S: How much bread should I eat every day?

A: Eat at least 90 grams of whole grain bread and cereals, rice or pasta everyday. Look for the word “whole” before the name of the grain as it is very important. Grains, breads and cereals provide B-vitamins which help turn the food we eat into energy that our bodies need to work, play and grow.

S: And what about fruit and vegetable?

A; Vegetables provide vitamin A which helps us have healthy skin and good eye-sight. Fruits provide vitamin C which helps our bodies heal and grow new cells. It is very important to eat at least 100- 150 grams of fruit and the same amount of vegetables every day. You may choose from fresh and frozen as well as dried fruit, all kinds of fruit and vegetables are good for you.

S: The food pyramid shows very little fat. Why?

A: Your body doesn’t need a lot of fat. Get most of your fat from fish, nuts and vegetable oils. Eat less fats like butter, margarine and lard. Choose low-fat meat, chicken or turkey. Bake it or grill it. It is much healthier than frying. Add more fish, eggs, beans and nuts.

Meat, fish, beans and nuts provide protein and iron which helps build stronger muscles. Iron carries oxygen to all parts of your body, helps prevent infections, and also helps your body make more energy to get you through busy day

S: And what about milk and milk products ?

A: Dairy products are very important. They provide calcium which helps build strong bones and teeth. So, if you can consume milk, yogurt and cheese, do it everyday. But go for low-fat milk. It’s better. Ice-cream is not very good for your health. So, try to limit it. The less ice-cream you eat the better for you.
