Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life. It's important to take care of ourselves and make
choices that promote good health. By making simple lifestyle changes, we can increase our
chances of living a long and fulfilling life.
Exercise is important for staying healthy. Doing activities like walking, jogging, or dancing makes
our hearts strong, muscles toned, and bones healthy. It also makes us feel happy and lowers the
chances of getting sick, like heart disease and diabetes.
Eating good food is very crucial too. We should eat different fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and
lean meats. These foods give us important vitamins and energy. We should try not to have too
many sugary drinks, processed foods, or snacks with lots of fat. Eating healthy helps our bodies
stay strong, keeps us at a good weight, and reduces the chance of getting sick.

Getting enough sleep is also essential for our bodies. When we sleep, our bodies rest and get
better. It helps our bodies be strong and our brains work well. If we don't get enough sleep, we
can feel tired, have trouble paying attention, and get sick more easily. We should try to sleep for
seven to nine hours every night.
Last but not least, we need to manage stress to stay healthy. Stress can make our bodies and
minds feel bad. We can find good ways to handle stress, like doing relaxing activities, enjoying

TH
our hobbies, or talking to our friends and family. When we manage stress in healthy ways, it
helps us stay healthy and happy.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 44 to 50.
English teenagers are to receive compulsory cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to
encourage healthy eating to fight the country’s increasing obesity rate. It’s feared that basic
cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience
foods.
Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England - even if it was
mainly aimed at girls. In recent decades cooking has progressively become a minor activity in
schools. In many cases, the schools themselves have given up cooking meals in kitchens in the
6

 Đăng kí học tại : https://thanhvienkhoahoc.net

schools. But the rising level of obesity has led to a rethink about the food that children are given
and the skills they should be taught.
“What I want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce, a
bolognaise, a simple curry, a stir-fry - which they can use now at home and then in their later
life”, said Ed Balls, the minister responsible for schools.
The new lessons are due to start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be

TH
given longer to adapt. There is also likely to be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since
the trend has been to teach food technology rather than practical cooking. Also, the compulsory

AN
lessons for hands-on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known
cookery writer, Pru Leith, believes it will be worth it.

HV
“If we’d done this thirty years ago we might not have the crisis we have got now about
obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not

IE
just so that they’ll be healthy, but because it’s a life skill which is a real pleasure”.

N
The renewed interest in cooking is primarily a response to the level of obesity in Britain

KH
which is among the highest in Europe, and according to government figures, half of all Britons
will be obese in 25 years if current trends are not stopped.
