• How to live a long and healthy life
I. Read the statements. Decide if they are true (T), false (F) or not given (NG).
A Healthy Lifestyle
Some habits might help people live longer. Researchers think that the key is eating well and being
active.
Having a healthy diet is important. It’s important to eat a good number of fruits and vegetables. Not
all foods are good for you, though. Having too many fruits can still be bad for you. You should also
avoid junk foods and sweets. A treat once in a while isn’t bad, but don’t let them become a regular
part of your diet.
Being active is also important. Sometimes it can be hard to find an activity you like. You don’t have to
play a sport like rugby. You can walk or run. You can ride a bike or hike. You can do yoga or dance. It
doesn’t matter what activity you do. But it is important to do something.
With these small changes, you will live a longer, healthier life!

II. Fill in each blank with the correct question for each answer.
A Healthy Lifestyle
Having a healthy lifestyle is not just about eating healthily and exercising. It often refers to having a
balance between work and life.
To start with, make sure you get plenty of sleep. Some research suggests that teenagers need more
sleep than adults, however, it's often the case that they get less than they need. With homework and
social obligations, you can be staying up late but still have to get up early to get to classes, work or
other activities. To function properly, your body and mind need a minimum of eight hours of sleep
each night.
Eating a well-balanced diet can sound much easier than it is. A lot of people are really conscious about
what they eat, and try and make healthy choices. If you think you have too much junk food and want
to make some changes to your diet, don't try and eliminate all junk food. You should drink plenty of
water, eat a balance of protein, whole grains, fruit and vegetables daily, and don’t skip breakfast - eat
something for breakfast every day.
Exercising regularly is part of having a healthy lifestyle. Physical activity helps build a strong body and
mind. Doing physical activity releases endorphins, which are a chemical your body produces, which
gives you a good feeling. Physical activity is also an effective way to manage moods and is a really
good lifestyle choice to improve your overall well-being.
Having friends and family that you can confide in is really important. To be a healthy person, you need
to have people around you that you can talk to about what's happening to you, rather than dealing
with them alone.
Another important part of having a healthy lifestyle is remembering to "play". Just taking time to
laugh, have fun and being around people who make you feel good is part of having balance in your
life.
Take time to learn about what makes you feel good and remember to include some of those things in
your day.
Task 1. Answer the following questions.
1. What is the problem of sleep that teenagers often meet?
___________________________________________________________________________________
2. What kind of food and drink should teenagers have?
___________________________________________________________________________________
3. Why does doing physical activity give us a good feeling?
___________________________________________________________________________________
4. What are other benefits of physical activity?
___________________________________________________________________________________
5. What can you share with your friends?
___________________________________________________________________________________
6. What is the function of having fun and being around people in our lifestyle?
___________________________________________________________________________________
Task 2. Find the words or expressions in the text which have the following meanings.
1. a situation in which different things are of equal importance _______________________
2. the food that you eat or drink regularly _______________________
3. food that is unhealthy but is quick or easy to eat _______________________
4. not to do or not have something _______________________
5. the state of feeling healthy and happy _______________________
6. to share your feelings or secrets with someone _______________________
V. Read the text, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Do you know anyone who has had a birthday card from a king or queen? In the UK, on your 100 th and
105th birthday and every birthday after that, a birthday card is sent to you from the Queen at
Buckingham Palace, which is the British monarch’s official residence in London. The reigning monarch
has sent messages of congratulations like this since 1917.
At that time, living over the age of 100 was a really amazing achievement. There were only about 100
centenarians in the whole country. Today, however, there are more than 10,000 and we’ve visited a
few of them to discover the secret of their long life.
Jean, who’s 103 and lives in an old people’s home, said that she had taken up singing when she was a
teenager and she had sung every day since then. She used to sing in a choir and although she can’t
carry on with that, she sings with her friend Ada, who’s 101, every day. They both said that they found
it absolutely brilliant for relaxing.
Arthur has just become a centenarian and he thought having a treat every day did him good. He said
he’d always loved chocolate and he’d eaten a very big bar every day for the last 70 years. He said he
was sure there was something in the chocolate that made him healthy.
Whatever the key to long life is, life expectancy will definitely increase in the future. In fact, according
to recent statistics, a quarter of all babies born in the UK this year will live to be more than 100.
Celebrating your 100th birthday will be a really ordinary thing for future generations.
