6.You should know and follow such rules:

Eat cooked vegetables – potatoes, beet-root, carrots and cooked meat. They are splitted better than row foods. Soup and broth contain such substances which help your stomach to digest the food better.

If you eat too much food with carbohydrates and don’t use their energy you will be fatty soon because carbohydrates consist of sugar and starch. You should know that sugar transforms itself into fat if the person is inactive.

You need to eat row vegetables and fruits because this food is digested well and contains vitamins, minerals, and high fibre.

Fibre influences the work of bowels, creates the necessary conditions for pushing food through the elementary canal. Fibre helps to excrete the cholestrine, prevents from absorption of the poisonous substances. Eating less fibre promotes the obesity, different stomach and intestines diseases, and heart diseases. It also causes the cancer of the rectum. High fibre food makes your stomach full and lows appetite. Eating high fibre regularly is the best way to be healthy and to stop gaining weight.

7. Listen to the letter of Michelle, and answer the questions

Hello, my dears!

My name is Michelle and I am 15 years old. I am the youngest in my family.

I have eldest sisters who like to care about me. So I hate making my bed and washing dishes. I like sleeping and I usually get up before going to school, that’s why I don’t have time for doing morning exercises or having good breakfast.

I drink a big cup of coffee with much sugar. It’s enough for me to be active at school. I always snack at the first break at our school café. I often buy some bagels. Bagels are made from flour, water, yeast, salt and sugar with raisins or blueberries. They are fat and cholesterol free. They are very high in carbohydrates, which give me energy. I like fatty and sweet food. I don’t care about my appearance because pretty girls are attractive to boys only as pretty dolls but I‘d like to have a loyal friend who will understand my habits and interests.

Answer the questions after listening the text.

1) What habits has Michelle?

2) Do you find all her habits healthy?

3) Why doesn’t she like to care about her appearance? Do you do so too?
