HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HEALTH?

I am sure that health is a very important thing for all people. If you have good health you are in a good mood. I think it is necessary to take care of health. I know a very useful proverb: "Good health is above wealth."
Everyone has one's rules about how to be in good health. First of all one must get up early, do¬ morning exercises all the year round. Usually I wash myself in the morning and in the evening with cold or warm water. I clean my teeth twice a day. To spend a lot of time in the open air is a very important fact for everybody. We must walk a lot, play active games, and spend a lot of time outdoors in the fresh air. It is useful to go for a walk before going to bed. We should keep our flats clean. Every day I sweep up the room.
It is necessary to take care of our food. We must eat fruits and vegetables. They say “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. If you are overweight you should keep to a diet. I believe that we have to eat low fat food. We must not eat a lot; we can't eat much sugar or plenty of sweets.
If you want to keep fit you must go in for one kind of sport or another. In summer we can ride a bicycle, go camping and swimming. In winter one can go sledging, skating, playing hockey or skiing. You can swim in the swimming pool all the year round. I am sure that sport helps people to keep in good health. If you go in for sports, you have good health and don't catch cold. Sport makes people strong, healthy and cheerful.
There are some facts which have influence on our health. First of all it is bad mood and physical inactivity. Eating a lot can make you fat and not active. Drinking much alcohol is not useful for our health either. It is a terrible fact when we eat at night, don't follow a diet, use high-calorie foods and don't move a lot. Smoking is not useful for our health either. If a person smokes a lot he (she) will be ill. To smoke is to live at the risk of one's life. I suppose that it is necessary to go to bed till 11 o'clock and get up at 7 o'clock.
I like the proverb: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." I am sure that our health is connected with our nerves system. I think that we must not be nervous. As people say “A merry heart is a good medicine.” I am sure that children and grown-ups must take care of their health.

Falling Ill
I am sure that health is a very important thing for all people. If you have good health you are in a good mood. I think it is necessary to take care of health.
There are certain laws of keeping health which are so simple that even a little child can learn them.
Fresh air is very important to good health. Besides, every room in the house, especially the bedroom should be properly cleaned. The whole body should be washed regularly. We like to look at someone who is tidy and clean. Some exercises are also necessary to keep us fit. The old and the young should do morning exercises. Rest is also important to the health of both body and mind. Plenty of food rich in vitamins is very useful for our health, too. If one of these rules is broken we may fall ill.
When I have a headache, a stomach ache, a sore throat, a cold or pain in some other parts of my body, I call a doctor and he examines me. He takes my temperature and my pulse. He examines my heart; my lungs, my stomach or the part where I have a pain, and tells me what the matter with me is. The doctor prescribes a medicine, and gives me a prescription. I take it to a chemist's and buy the medicine. If I follow the doctor's orders, I get better.
If some people are seriously ill, they go to hospital by ambulance. When I have a toothache, when a tooth hurts me, I go to a dentist.
Last winter I fell ill. I caught a bad cold. I had a bad cough and was running a high temperature. I had also a cold in my head and a terrible sore throat. It hurt me when I swallowed. I was constantly sneezing.
My mother called the doctor. When the doctor came in she examined my throat and tongue, felt my pulse, listened to my heart and lungs and tested my blood pressure. Then she took my temperature. She said there was no need to worry as it was neither flu nor quinsy. It was just a bad cold.
The doctor told me to stay in bed for a week to avoid complications after the illness. Then she prescribed me some medicine for my headache and told me to drink warm milk with honey and butter. I was to take the medicine twice a day.
I followed all the doctor's advice and in a week I felt much better and soon I recovered.

I mainly work with adults, for them the task for the summer is not relevant. But what about the students? Almost everyone goes to the country or to the sea, almost no one is engaged. Which, in principle, is correct. All children need time to properly relax and have a little fun. But how to make sure that they do not forget the language over the summer?

You can find interesting cartoons, select multiple books, for example, from the Graded Readers series, pick up interesting puzzles And Crosswords, and / or ask to do tasks from interactive DVDs which are now often attached to training courses. But the fact is that not all children are ready to study in the summer of their own free will, and not all parents are ready to control them, even after a preventive conversation with the teacher about the appropriateness self-study during the summer months. It often happens that they try to complete all tasks at an accelerated pace in the last two weeks of August, which is rather ineffective.

An interesting idea for organizing self-study in the summer is a diary. A real, beautiful hardcover diary that can be given to a student at the end of the school year. Every day (mandatory!) in this diary, you need to make a small entry about everyday events and experiences, as well as write out 3-4 new English words with a translation/example of use/illustration. Words can be taken from books, songs and cartoons issued for the summer, or simply from labels on food and clothing, from conversations and television programs heard on the street, and so on. Keeping such a diary is a simple and exciting activity, in the regular implementation of which it is easy to get involved. It takes very little time, a maximum of 15-20 minutes. It is better to perform it at the same time, for example, before going to bed, so it will quickly become a habit.
