PARTEA I
60p

I. 1. Read the text below and complete the following tasks. Write all your answers on the Answer
Sheet.

Vitamins and minerals are very important, particularly when you’re a teenager because your body is
growing. We get almost all of our vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. One of the reasons why junk
food is bad for you is that it fills you up, but doesn’t contain a lot of vitamins and minerals.
There are two kinds of vitamins- fat-soluble vitamins, for example A, D and E, and water-soluble
vitamins, such as, B and C. Your body can’t store the water-soluble ones, so you need these every day.
The two most important minerals are calcium and iron. You need calcium for strong bones and teeth.
Iron helps your blood to carry oxygen around your body. Other important minerals are magnesium,
phosphorus, potassium and zinc. We normally get our minerals from meat and fish. If you’re a vegetarian, you
should eat plenty of eggs, cheese and beans to get your minerals.
We get vitamin A from orange fruit and vegetables, like carrots, peppers, peaches and pumpkins, and
from dark green vegetables, like spinach. This vitamin is good for your skin and your eyes. You also find
vitamin A in eggs and milk.
There are a lot of different B vitamins. They are important for energy. They help to make the red blood
cells that carry oxygen to your muscles. Bread, fish, meat, eggs and beans all contain vitamin B.
You get vitamin C from fruit, such as oranges, grapefruit and tomatoes, and from vegetables, like
cabbage and broccoli. Potatoes contain vitamin C, too. It’s good for your skin and it fights infections. It also
helps your body to absorb the iron that you need.
