Part 3 Translation

Translate the following passage into Urdu.

One of the best ways to feel well is to get enough sleep. However, if you think you haven’t had a good
night’s sleep, don’t worry. It’s perfectly natural to wake up still feeling tired. It’s always a good idea to
drink a glass of water in the morning because your body has had to go for eight hours without anything
to drink. If you are feeling half-awake when you get out of bed, you may only be suffering from a lack
of water.

Secondly, getting enough sunlight in your morning routine is very important. It helps your body to find
its natural daily rhythm and wakes both your brain and body for the day. Go outside and have a short
walk in the fresh air and sunshine. This is more important in places like northern Europe where the
days are much shorter in the winter.

My friend from Bradford says that he doesn’t need to drink much coffee to wake up but he is completely
unbearable if he doesn’t get enough sunlight in the long dark winter months. [20]
