Reading
Task 2. Read the text carefully and do the tasks below.

Most people would agree with the definition of good health as being in a state where you are free
from sickness. Despite this, there are many different opinions about how a person can actually have
good health. People used to only think of their health when they are sick. But these days more and
more people are taking actions to make sure that they don't get sick. One of the ways to feel healthy
and to stay in shape in the same time is to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Having a healthy diet can help promote good health. Food like vegetables and fruits should be eaten
several times each day. It is also important to eat food high in fiber such as beans, grains, fruit and
vegetables. Fiber helps your body to digest the food you eat. It also helps your body in other ways
such as decreasing the chance of getting some cancers, heart disease and diabetes. Avoiding food
with a lot of sugar, salt and fat is a good idea. Eating these kinds of foods can lead to a variety of
health problems. The main one is obesity. Obesity means having so much fat on your body that you
are risking your health.

However, eating junk food is very popular among young people. Everybody knows that fast food is
cheap and quick. However, it is not as tasty as food cooked at home. Young people prefer to eat
pizzas, hamburgers and French fries but they should eat soup instead. Fast food companies spend
lots of money to make people believe that fast food is cool. Consequently, the average American
eats three hamburgers with French fries a week. Is it surprising that 14% of American teenagers are
obese?

Nowadays, there is a health care organization, which is devoted to create new eating habits so that
we can have a healthier generation. Researchers hope that in future food companies will be more
worried about how to make food healthy and not how to make money.

Transcript
Katie
I’m a shop assistant in a large fashion store. I don’t have a uniform, but all the shop
assistants wear the clothes from the store. I need to look stylish and friendly when I’m at
work, and it’s good that customers can see shop assistants wearing the clothes that they can
buy. Luckily, I really like the clothes in the shop, and I wear different things every day: a
dress. Trousers, shorts… there’s lots of variety. I love deciding what to wear in the morning!
Marlon:
I’m a personal trainer. I work in a gym and teach exercise classes and help people to get fit.
I love my job and I like the fact that I can wear sports clothes. My work clothes are
comfortable and I think they look good, too. I usually wear a sports shirt and shorts… and
trainers, of course. On colder days, If I’m outside, I wear long tracksuit trousers and a jacket.
The gym provides me with all my clothes for work, s I don’t have to pay for them, which is
great too!
Louisa:
I work for a large bank in the city centre. The way I dress at work is important –I need to
give the right impression. I have a lot of meetings with clients and it’s important for me to
look confident and reliable. I usually wear a skirt suit- a smart skirt and jacket – in a dark
colour, like blue or black. I sometimes wear small earrings, but generally I don’t wear much
jewellery at work. Sometimes I think my work clothes are boring, but I don’t mind them
really.
Sam:
I’m an IT manager- I give advice to companies on their information technology and
computer systems. I like my job because I work with computers but also with people. It’s
important for me to look smart in my job, so that I look professional and people feel they can
trust me. I always wear a shirt and tie, but I try not to look very formal… so my tie is usually
a bright colour, like red…or sometimes pink.
