LI SHUYE

1. Dr. Gabriella is a nutritionist and she is working in Britain. Read the

first paragraph and discuss with your partner what Dr. Gabriella is
talking about.
Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for
kids. But what is health? Health means eating well, getting enough
exercise, and having a healthy weight. Here I introduce some
useful rules and hope they can help you stay healthy.
1.
. We all know that
eating fruits and vegetables can
help us stay healthy, but many
of us only eat our favorite foods.
We should eat different kinds of
food, especially fruits and
vegetables, because we can get
the nutrition needed for our
3.
. When you are
eating, notice how your body
feels. You should stop eating
when your stomach feels
comfortably full. Eating too
much will make you feel
uncomfortable and want to
throw up. If you do it too often,
it can make you unhealthy and
fat.

2.
. Everyone knows that
water is important. Besides that,
kids need plenty of calcium to grow
strong bones. Milk is rich in calcium.
Every day, you should drink at least
three cups of milk when you are 9
years old or older. You should also
try to have less sugary drinks, like
coco-cola. Sugar just adds calories,
not important nutrition.
4.
which is the
amount of time you spend on
watching TV, movies, and
playing computer games. You
should spend less time on these
sitting-down activities and more
time on outside sports. Try to
spend no more than 2 hours a
day on it.

5.
. A European study of
almost 400,000 adults says that
eating meat is linked with weight
gain, even in people taking in the
same number of calories. Some
meat, such as sausages and ham,
are high-protein. Researches show
that high-protein diets may not help
to keep slim in the long run and the
peoples health relates to how much
meat they eat.

2. Read the five rules suggested by Dr. Gabriella. Label the pictures with A-E based

LI SHUYE

on the descriptions below.

A.

Listen to your body.

B.

Limit screen time and go out.

C.

Eat a variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables.

D.

Eating less meat can keep a healthy weight.

E.

Drink water and milk most often.

Speaking: Interview
Work with your partner and practice
interview! One is an interviewer and
the other is Dr. Gabriella. Design 4-5
article-relevant
questions
to
interview her. For example: How
many adults report that have meat
will gain their weight?

Bruce , Health & Fitness Expert

Dear Jillian,
Here are some solutions that may solve your problem.
1. You should move more. You should walk or cycle instead
of taking bus to school. If you want to take a bus, why not
get off one stop early and walk a bit longer. During recess
time, you should walk within the school area.
2. You should have a schedule for exercise. Consider
participating evening classes like yoga, martial or dancing
class. Alternatively, you can ask your parents to buy
exercise equipment, for example, rowing machine or and
exercise bike so you can read your books while exercising.
Hopes this helps. Most importantly, you should exercise
regularly.

HISTORY ABOUT ROCK CLIMBING

Historically, many cultures believed that
mountain is a sacred place.
Early European climbers used rock climbing
techniques as a skill to reach the top of the
mountain.
By the 19th century, rock climbing has
developed into a hobby.
Began in the last quarter of the 19th century
in three areas: Dresden, Germany, the Lake
District of England and the Dolomites in Italy

Bruce , Health & Fitness Expert

1.Dear
(Answers
Jillian, are underlined and highlighted in yellow)
Here are some solutions that may solve your problem.
1. You should move more. You should walk or cycle instead of taking bus
to school. If you want to take a bus, why not get off one stop early and walk
a bit longer. During recess time, you should walk within the school area.
2. You should spare 1 hour for exercise. Consider joining evening classes
like yoga, martial or dancing class. Alternatively, you can ask your parents
to buy exercise equipment, for example, rowing machine or and exercise
bike so you can read your books while exercising.
Hopes this helps. Most importantly, you should exercise regularly. Good
luck!
