Listen to the classreport.
Let's tolk obout two things thot I think ore very importont
when we tolk obout heolthv eotinq: whot we eot ond when we
eot.
So, looking first ot whot we eot, we must remember thot we
oll need o bolonced diet, ond thot meons eoting the right
omounts of the different food groups. I'll give you some
exomples. We need more groin food-which is food mode
from wheot, rice, oots ond corn-becouse it gives our bodies
energy ond helps them grow. But our bodies don't need much
fot, so we need to eot Iesssweetsond not use too much butter
or morgorine on our breod.
When we eot is olso importont. Skipping breokfost or lunch is
never o good ideo. We need to eot in the morning ond in the
eorly ofternoon so thot we hove the energy to study, do our
homework or ploy sports during the doy. At night we con eot
Iessbecause we don't need much energy for sleeping.
@"@
Listen to the statements.
L Cereol ond rice ore exomples of breokfost foods. For
lunch, there ore mony heolthy foods you con eot. You con
hove sqndwiches, fruit or yogurt.
2 Our bodies don't need much fot, so we shouldn't eot o lot
of fried foods. Now, we should be coreful ot whot time
we eot these foods, becouse when we're osleep our bodies
con't use the energy made by fats.
3 So eoting the right kinds of foods is very importont. It
helps you keep o bolonced diet. Exercise is olso very
importont for good heolth. It helps you burn energy.
Listen to the passage.
Eoting o voriety of food gives you o more bolonced diet. Here
ore some woys to do it. For breokfost, odd sliced bonona to
your cereol. If you're hoving o sondwich for lunch, put some
vegetobles in it, Iike pickles and olives. For on afternoon
snock, odd fruit to your yogurt, such os strowberries or sliced
peoches. For dinner, hove some pototoes with your meot.

When vocotioning, I think it's importont for fomilies to
go somewhere new. I believe expioring new ploces con be
very exciting. For exomple, Iost yeor my fomily ond I went
to o mountoin resort for the first time. My dod ond brother
hod o greot time skiing. My mom enioyed the spq. I went
sightseeing-l wonted to toke pictures, but I forgot to pock

I believe fomily vocations must be plonned corefully. I think
deciding where to go is very importont. For exomple, don't
plon to go to o scubo-diving resort if some members of your
family would rother go sightseeing. It's importont to choose
o ploce thot everyone con enjoy.
But, keep your plons open. I think it's importont to find
out obout other things you con do in cose your plons foll
through. The weother could suddenly chonge, for exomple.
So ifyou con't go to the beoch, why not go to video orcodes,
omusement porks or museums? If you wont to go skiing, but
there's little or no snowfoll, think obout hiking.
Vocotions often meon troveling for o long time. It's very eosy
to get bored. It's o good ideo, then, to toke olong some books
to reod or some gomes to keep you busy. Like on electronic
gome...or o trovel chessset, if you like chess.

Students usuolly do their homework in books. This con be
difficult becouse sometimes students lose their books or forget
to take them home or to school. Doing homework online
helps fix this problem. Ioday, most schools ond homes hove
computers with on Internet connection. Homework is never
lost, ond both students ond teochers con usuolly occess
o computer.
Listen to the classreport.
I'd like to tell you oll why I think we should do our homework
using computers ond the Internet.
As you know, doing homework con toke o lot of time. With
computers, we con finish our homework foster. Homework
olso becomes less of o chore when we do it on the computer. It
becomes more interestinq becouse we con be more creotive.
Through the Internet, we con find grommor tips or look
up words using online dictionories. Of course, this is good
because often we're not sure obout our grommor ond spelling
when we write o report.
Not mony of us hove referencebooks of home to check or
find informotion. The Internet hos o lot of informotion on
different subjects,which we con find very quickly ond eosily.
The Internet olso gives us the convenience of emoil. We con
emoil our teochers outside of closs. Thot's greot becouse there
isn't much time in closs to osk the teocher questions obout
our homework.

I don't use the Internet very often. And I never use it to do
my homework. Not oll the informotion on the Internet is
relioble. Some informotion is just not true. To be sure, I get
my informotion from the librory. Also, I prefer to meet my
friends thon chat with them online. And I con olwoys get new
