When it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, I feel that food is the
root cause of all diseases and pain in people's lives. As a result, in my
opinion, eating less meat and more vegetables is a good strategy to
enhance our health. I stumbled upon a life-changing essay on the official
website of the Ministry of Medicine two years ago while browsing
through several health sites to determine if some of my symptoms were
significant or not. I was experiencing gut discomfort and irritation at the
time, which was a nightmare for me. Fortunately, the article disclosed the
cause of my problem: I had been consuming far too much meat and far too
little fiber in my diet. I am still applying this kind of diet to date, and it
was lucky that I had known about this before bad things could have ever
happened.

I have celebrated many parties in my life. But here I would like to

surprise party for him. My parents were also with me in this plan. We
invited a few of his close friends and some relatives. After my brother
left for college that morning, I decorated our home with buntings and
balloons. My mother baked and iced the cake. I ordered some fritters,
spring rolls, sandwiches and pastries for the guests. When my brother
came home that day, we all were waiting for him. We welcomed him
by playing the birthday tune. Everyone clapped and wished him
happy birthday. He was really surprised and very happy. The he cut
the cake and we all enjoyed the cake and snacks. I gifted a cell phone

Do you remember your first day in the university? Well, I remember

my first day I was waiting all the summer to enter at the university. I
felt excited and at the same time I was very nervous because it was my
first day in the university and I didn't know any person. My first day in
the university was good.
I didn't know how to arrive to my classroom. I was lost and I had to ask
one person about the building where I was going to take classes.
When I turned to see my fellow students, Greta and Eli caught my
eye. I went over and spoke to Greta and Eli as we approached. We
became more familiar with one another as a result of our
introductions, including information about our locations. I am always
going to remember that day because I had the opportunity to meet
more people and the most important I met the best friends that I have
ever had. Finally, I think that it is natural that on the first day we feel
nervous, but the things always have a happy ending, that's why I say
that my first day in the university was very good.
