HEALTH PROBLEM IN BRITAIN

Doctors in Britain are worried because British teenagers eat a lot of

crisps, sweets and fast food. Most teenagers do not eat enough fruit or
vegetables and more than one million British children are overweight.
Some teenagers say that they do not have enough time to eat good
food. This can lead to many health problems when they are older.
Fast food was born in America and popular all over the world.
McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Burger King have restaurants all over the globe.
No one can deny the convenience of fast food. However, eating too
many hamburgers, fries and soda does not nourish the body with
vitamins and minerals. Fast food is short of many important nutrients.
Now doctors are giving young people books about a good diet.

VOLUNTEERING IS GOOD FOR YOUR MIND AND BODY
Volunteering provides many benefits to both mental and physical
health.
Volunteering combats depression. Volunteering keeps you in regular
contact with others and helps you develop a solid support system,
which protects you against depression.
Volunteering makes you happy. By measuring hormones and brain
activity, researchers have discovered that being helpful to others
delivers immense pleasure. Human beings are hard-wired to give to
others. The more we give, the happier we feel.
Volunteering increases self-confidence. You are doing good things
for others and the community, which provides a natural sense of
accomplishment. Your role as a volunteer can also give you a sense of
pride and identity. And the better you feel about yourself, the more
likely you are to have a positive view of your life and future goals.

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958. He was born in Gary,
Indiana, an industrial suburb of Chicago. He was and is known as the
“king of pop”. He was an American musician. He started a solo career
in 1971. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all
times. He popularized dance moves, such as the robot and the
moonwalk. He was very successful in his music career. He won 13
Grammy Awards. He earned millions of dollars and donated them to
charities. In the 1980’s Michael’s skin color started to change because
of a disease called vitiligo, and that was a shock for everyone. He got
married twice, first in 1994 with Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s
daughter and again in 1996 with Deborah Jeanne Rowe, a dermatology
nurse. Michael had three children. He died in 2009, it is said that an
overdose of the painkiller Demerol was the cause of his death but it is
not confirmed.

FOOD AT THE SUPERMARKET
The next time you are in a supermarket, pay attention to what you
see and smell. Usually fresh fruit and vegetables are near the
entrances. Is there a reason for this? Yes, there is. Fresh food near the
entrance makes people think that all the items in the shop are fresh.
Why is there a good smell of baking near the bread shelves? The bread
is in plastic bags, but the smell (from bakery section) makes people
feel hungry and they buy more. And what is next to the checkout? How
many bags of sugar or rice do you see there? How many eggs? None?
This is the place for sweets and magazines. People stand to wait for
payment, see the sweets and magazines and buy them, without
thinking about how much money they are spending.
Exercise 2: Listen and choose the best option to complete the
sentence. (Track 10)
EGGS
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Many people have argued
that question for many years. They will probably be arguing about it for
many more years! Birds have been laying eggs for a very long time
and people have been eating eggs for almost as long.
All female birds lay eggs but in Canada most of the eggs that we eat
are chicken eggs. Female birds are called hens. The largest egg in the

KEY
28

world is laid by the ostrich. This very large African bird lays an egg that
weighs about 3 pounds (or 1.5 kilograms).
All eggs contain a yellow or orange yolk. The yolk is surrounded by
the egg white which is only white after it is cooked. Egg is quite
nutritious, and I like it very much.
