Firstly, you should try swapping unhealthy snacks for healthier ones. You (31) _____ give up your

time. You don’t have to go to the gym to workout, though, you can play sports, go swimming at the
pool or beach, or even walk the dog. All of these activities will help you stay active and help you
lose some weight.
So, eat healthier snacks, drink lots of water and be active as this will help you lose some weight and
feel better. (35) _____ positive! I know you can do this.

A Gift from the Bees

Honey comes from our tiny friend, the bee. People use it around the world for a lot of different
reasons. Some people call it ‘liquid gold’ because it has so many amazing properties. It can be a
natural sweetener for food as an alternative to sugar, a medicine or even a beauty product for your
skin.
Honey is a natural remedy people can use at home when they have a cold or the flu. Honey and
lemon is a popular combination for those feeling unwell, too, since honey can help a variety of
illnesses by reducing swelling and the lemon contains vitamin C which helps boost the immune
system.
A lot of people also use honey to treat a cough. In fact, Pennsylvania State University carried out a
study on of 105 children which showed that a little honey worked just as well as cough medicine in
reducing night-time coughing, showing that it really does have huge benefits.
In addition, honey has anti-bacterial properties - this means that no bacteria or germs can grow
inside it. It can be used on the skin to help clear up bacterial skin infections, or even to help heal
burns and sunburn whilst lowering the risk of infection.
As a beauty treatment, honey can be used to clean skin and stop it becoming dry. Some people mix
it with milk, before applying it to their skin. In fact, people say that even Cleopatra in ancient Egypt
took baths in honey and milk to keep her looking fresh-faced and beautiful. Have you used honey
for any of these reasons?

Maxine’s Health Blog

Hey everyone! Today, I want to talk about a health problem that I’ve had since I was 13: acne. As
I’m sure you know, acne causes spots on the skin. It’s a common problem. In fact, around 85% of
British teens have had some form of acne. But adults can have acne, too – 11.5% of British adults
are dealing with the problem right now.
Why does acne happen? Basically, there are around 5 million tiny holes on our skin called pores,
and our body releases sweat and oil through them so that our skin doesn’t get dry. Acne happens
when our pores get blocked. Sometimes, old skin cells or dirt block the pores. Usually, though, we
get spots when our body releases too much oil through the pores.
Washing your skin is important because it gets rid of dead skin cells and dirt – but don’t wash
yourself too often or your skin will become really dry. What about diet? Studies show that when we
eat foods high in carbohydrates and sugars, our body releases more oil through the pores, causing
more spots. In my experience, diet helps a lot. When I cut out sugar, I had far fewer spots on my
face.
Most importantly, though, I advise visiting a doctor. I had acne for two years before I finally went
to one, but I wish I went earlier. She gave me a cream that I use every day, and it has really helped
my acne. All in all, having acne can be difficult so get the help you deserve today!

41. Maxine was worried about her acne when she was a teenager. _____
42. More adults suffer from acne than teenagers in the UK. _____
43. Washing your skin will not help the problem. _____
44. Maxine lost weight when she stopped eating sugar. _____
45. Maxine visited a doctor soon after she first got acne. _____

AUDIOSCRIPT
Mike: Hi, Nora. I tried calling you yesterday evening, but you didn’t answer. Did something
happen?
Nora: Sorry, Mike. I went to the hospital, and I had to wait a couple of hours before a doctor
examined me. It was really busy. In the end, I didn’t get out of there until midnight.
Mike: Oh, no! What happened?
Nora: Well, I had a football practice with the team that afternoon, and I sprained my ankle. It was
really unlucky because there were no other players around me at the time. I couldn’t stand up then.
Mike: Sounds painful!
Nora: Well, at first, it felt OK, so I just went home. An hour later though, my ankle became
swollen and it was badly bruised. So, my mum suggested that I should go to the hospital.
Mike: Did they put a bandage on it?
Nora: The doctor said it wasn’t necessary. He was 100% sure that it was a sprain and not a break. I
guess he was right because I can walk on it comfortably today, though, it still hurts a little.
Mike: That’s good. But you’d better be careful. I don’t think you should return to football anytime
soon.
Nora: You’re right. We’ve got a match on Saturday, but I’ve already told my coach that I won’t be
available. I don’t want to make my ankle worse. It’s a shame because I was looking forward to
playing.
Mike: There will always be more matches. You need to make sure your ankle gets better.
