Food
In a recent government survey on healthy eating teens scored only 5 out of 10 (8
indicated a healthy diet and 6 a “passable” one). Only 1 in 10 teens eats the
recommended amount of fruit and the only vegetable that many teens eat is
“chips”. Most teens in the developed world are eating too much but are still not
getting the vital nutrients to help them grow and stay healthy. More information
about nutrition and healthy eating is needed to help young people eat properly.
Teens who diet often cut out food they need, such as bread or milk, because they
think it is fattening.
Others don’t know what foods to choose in the school canteen in order to have a
balanced diet. There is a saying “you are what you eat”. So if you want to
become the next David Beckham then you’d better start eating properly.
Exercise
Lack of money in schools plus increased pressure to do well in the course exams
means that teenagers are doing less sport in school than ever before. Girls, in
particular, are more likely to suffer from lack of exercise and up to 4 in 10 girls
stop playing sports in their early teenage years. Jost because you aren’t sporty
doesn’t mean you can’t be active. Walk or cycle to school instead of taking the
bus. Help at home with the housework or gardening. Go dancing with your
friends. There are lots of ways you can stop being a couch potato!
Sleep
If “we are what we eat” then sleep is like food for the brain. Teens need at least 9
hours’ sleep every night and even mild sleepiness can affect your performance,
humour and health. Lack of sleep can make you tired, angry or depressed.
Nearly 40% of secondary school students go to bed after 11 p.m. on school
nights and 15% of teens say they have fallen asleep during class. In the USA
some schools are starting classes at 10 a.m. so that teens can get some extra
sleep. These schools have noticed an improvement in their students’ work.

FURTHER READING 2
1.The last time I went to a restaurant was about 2
months ago. My wife and I wanted to celebrate our
wedding anniversary with a good meal so we went
to an expensive Italian restaurant in downtown
Lisbon. We both had pasta to start and for the main
course my wife ordered a steak and I chose fish.
For dessert we both ate chocolate cake topped with
fresh cream. Delicious!
2. I went to a restaurant yesterday evening with my
sister's children. It wasn't very expensive and the
menu was very limited. We all had a burger and
French fries, and drank cola. It wasn't very good.
3. My boyfriend loves spicy food so this restaurant
was perfect. The waiters were all really friendly and
polite, and they played traditional sitar music which
was very relaxing. The menu offered vegetarian
dishes as well as meat dishes served with rice and a
sauce - it depended on how hot you wanted it! I
chose a mild beef curry but my boyfriend had a
lamb 'vindaloo' - he also drank 2 liters of water!!
4. My class at the university went there last
weekend. It's a very popular type of restaurant in
my country. It generally offers one type of food (a
kind of bread with cheese and tomato sauce) which
you then choose what ingredients to add on top of
it. I asked for olives and mushrooms on mine and
my classmates each had something different so we
could taste a piece of each person's meal.

FURTHER READING 3
Tennis started in France nearly 1000 years ago. The game was originally
played in the courtyards of royal palaces, using the walls (like squash) rather
than a net. One of the Grand Slam tournaments takes place in Wimbledon
every year. The Tournament or The Fortnight, as the British call the
Wimbledon Tennis Championships, is very important to the English.
So here you are, standing in the queue to buy your ticket to watch the
matches. Everybody is waiting for their turn to get inside. Nobody is pushing.
If you are English, you will have all the necessary things with you: a thermos
of tea (of course), a folding chair and (surprise, surprise) an umbrella!
At last you go through the gates, and you discover the atmosphere.
People are sitting under their umbrellas enjoying the British weather. The
atmosphere is calm and controlled. You feel as if you are in a select private
club - and, in fact, you are. The gardens are superb (well, you are in
England...). Every year 3,500 geraniums are planted!
What is so special about Wimbledon? Well, it is the oldest tournament in
the world, and the last of the big four championships to be played on natural
grass. The American, Australian and French Championships are played on
cement, artificial grass and clay. All the players must dress only in white.
Wimbledon is free from sponsorship, which makes it different from almost all
other sporting events. This means that there are no advertising banners around
the courts. The people who come to watch the matches, compared to those
who watch many other international tournaments, are well disciplined. You
can only sometimes hear shouts or whistles when a player prepares to serve.
And if any spectator behaves badly, he or she may be asked to leave.
You think that the English are very serious tennis fans. But if you want a
good place, you may well find one around 4 p.m. Where has everybody gone?
Look in the tents: they are having strawberries and tea. After all, tennis is just
one of many traditions, and the English like to continue them all - especially
tea!

A.
another name for the Grand Slam tournaments.

FURTHER READING 4- CHOOSING A LANGUAGE SCHOOL
Today, there are language schools on practically every street (well, it seems like
that sometimes, especially in the bigger cities here in Vietnam). How do you
decide which school is right for you? Here are a few things to think about when
you are looking through flyers, leaflets and brochures from different schools.
Before you visit a school:
•
If you are going to study English in the UK, contact the British
Council to see which schools are accredited by them. If a school is accredited, it
means that their inspectors regularly check it to make sure that it is good enough.
If a school isn’t good enough, it loses its accreditation. So, if you choose an
accredited school, you will probably be happy with it.
•
Talk to people you know who are doing language courses at different
schools. What do they think about the schools and courses? If you choose the
same school or same course as them, you may have the same opinions later,
•
Ask yourself what you want to learn English for. Do you have any
specific goals, like passing an exam or going to work in an English speaking
country? If you have, make a list of them. Think about whether it would be better
for you to have private lessons with a teacher or lessons in a group. Then look at
the courses that local schools are offering to see what might be right for you.
While you’re visiting a school:
•
Take a look around the building. Does it look tidy? Does it look well-
organised? Do you feel comfortable in it?
•
Ask about the teachers that work at the school. Remember, you have a
right to see copies of their qualifications.
•
Ask about whether you can watch a class for free before signing up for
a course. A good school will be happy to arrange this for you.
Found a good place? Great! Now go away and study!
1.
Nowadays there are a lot of language schools ________
A.
in big cities in Poland. B.in big and small cities in Poland.
C.
in countries other than Poland. D. all over Europe.
2.

B.
it is checked by experts.
C.
its teachers have contact with the British Council.
D.
its teachers are trained by the British Council.
3.

TRAVELLING TIPS FOR YOU Making Sense of the American Diet 1. Hamburgers and French fries are known all over the world as typical American food. But when you travel in the United States, you will see that Americans choose many different kinds of diets. As a matter of fact, many Americans spend a lot of time thinking very hard about how and what they eat. They think that the traditional American diet is bad for their health and bad for the environment. As a result, you will see many labels and descriptions of food that might seems confusing. Here is a short guide to help you understand some of the choices: 2. ORGANICfood are grown with no pesticides or herbicides. There are also no GMOs in organic food. People who choose organic foods think that they are better for their health and for the environment. 3. VEGETARIANfood contains no meat. People choose a vegetarian diet for a number of reasons. Some believe that eating meat is not good for their health. Others have environmental reasons. They believe eating plants is better for the environment. Cows and other meat animals at the top of the food chain need lots of food, water, and energy. Carrots, beans, and potatoes, on the lower end of the food chain, need much less. Still others believe that people should not eat animals for ethical reasons. They believe that humans should not kill animals for any reason. 4. VEGAN food contain nothing at all from animals: no meat, no milk, no eggs, no honey, and no butter, for example. Reasons for eating a vegan diet are very similar to reasons for eating a vegetarian diet. But vegan eaters don t think that humans should use animals for food at all. 5. LOCAL food is grown less than 100 miles from you. Local food is usually very fresh. And buying it helps nearby farms and other businesses. People who eat local food also care about the environment. They don t want to eat food that must travel far by trucks, boats, and planes because it uses too much gasoline. This causes more pollution. 6. LOW-FAT foods have very little (for example, butter or oil) in them. People who are trying to lose weight, or people who have heart disease often eat low-fat diets. Many Americans have heart disease or are overweight, so low-fat diets and foods are very common in the U.S. 7. GLUTEN-FREE foods contain no gluten. Gluten is in wheat and many other grains. People with a gluten-free diet are usually allergic to gluten. They might get very bad stomachaches if they eat this. 1. Someone who doesn t want to eat animal, but who likes milk, eats _____. a. organic food 2. Someone who doesn t want to eat animals or anything made by animals eats _____. b. vegetarian food 3. Someone who wants to lose weight eats _____. c. vegan food 4. Someone who doesn t want to eat GMOs and pesticides eats _____. d. local food 5. Someone who want to supports farmers in nearby areas eats _____. e. low-fat food 6. Someone who is allergic to wheat eats _____. f. gluten-free food

FURTHER READING 3 Tennis started in France nearly 1000 years ago. The game was originally played in the courtyards of royal palaces, using the walls (like squash) rather than a net. One of the Grand Slam tournaments takes place in Wimbledon every year. The Tournament or The Fortnight, as the British call the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, is very important to the English. So here you are, standing in the queue to buy your ticket to watch the matches. Everybody is waiting for their turn to get inside. Nobody is pushing. If you are English, you will have all the necessary things with you: a thermos of tea (of course), a folding chair and (surprise, surprise) an umbrella! At last you go through the gates, and you discover the atmosphere. People are sitting under their umbrellas enjoying the British weather. The atmosphere is calm and controlled. You feel as if you are in a select private club - and, in fact, you are. The gardens are superb (well, you are in England...). Every year 3,500 geraniums are planted! What is so special about Wimbledon? Well, it is the oldest tournament in the world, and the last of the big four championships to be played on natural grass. The American, Australian and French Championships are played on cement, artificial grass and clay. All the players must dress only in white. Wimbledon is free from sponsorship, which makes it different from almost all other sporting events. This means that there are no advertising banners around the courts. The people who come to watch the matches, compared to those who watch many other international tournaments, are well disciplined. You can only sometimes hear shouts or whistles when a player prepares to serve. And if any spectator behaves badly, he or she may be asked to leave. You think that the English are very serious tennis fans. But if you want a good place, you may well find one around 4 p.m. Where has everybody gone? Look in the tents: they are having strawberries and tea. After all, tennis is just one of many traditions, and the English like to continue them all - especially tea! 1.

FURTHER READING 4- CHOOSING A LANGUAGE SCHOOL Today, there are language schools on practically every street (well, it seems like that sometimes, especially in the bigger cities here in Vietnam). How do you decide which school is right for you? Here are a few things to think about when you are looking through flyers, leaflets and brochures from different schools. Before you visit a school: If you are going to study English in the UK, contact the British Council to see which schools are accredited by them. If a school is accredited, it means that their inspectors regularly check it to make sure that it is good enough. If a school isn t good enough, it loses its accreditation. So, if you choose an accredited school, you will probably be happy with it. Talk to people you know who are doing language courses at different schools. What do they think about the schools and courses? If you choose the same school or same course as them, you may have the same opinions later, Ask yourself what you want to learn English for. Do you have any specific goals, like passing an exam or going to work in an English speaking country? If you have, make a list of them. Think about whether it would be better for you to have private lessons with a teacher or lessons in a group. Then look at the courses that local schools are offering to see what might be right for you. While you re visiting a school: Take a look around the building. Does it look tidy? Does it look well- organised? Do you feel comfortable in it? Ask about the teachers that work at the school. Remember, you have a right to see copies of their qualifications. Ask about whether you can watch a class for free before signing up for a course. A good school will be happy to arrange this for you. Found a good place? Great! Now go away and study!
