He hates junk food and tries to change his friends' bad eating habits. He's sending this article from an English magazine to his new friends from the camp. Read it. Reading 1 Are these statements myths or facts? Discuss in pairs. Then read the article and find out. Myths and Facts Check what you know... 1 A fast-food cheeseburger is a 2 healthy meal because it has I'm not fat so I don't meat, cheese, bread and have to pay attention vegetables. to what I eat. 3 If I skip a meal, I can eat whatever I want at my next meal. 2 Read the article again and answer Pedro's questions. a. What is bad for our heart? d. What can we add in our water? b. Which kind of pizza can we eat? e. Which foods have a lot of calories? c. What are fizzy drinks bad for? f. What kinds of meals are good for us? 28  Food for thought! What are we really eating? We all love chips and pizza but what are our favourite foods doing to our bodies? Burger and chips or pizza What’s in ’em? Huge amounts of fat, salt and additives! What’s the damage? All this fat and salt is really bad for your heart. A good alternative: Tofu burgers, roasted potatoes and homemade pizza! Fizzy drinks What’s in ’em? Sugar, colouring, additives and carbonated water to give it the fizz! What’s the damage? It can damage your teeth - and that also means bad breath!. A good alternative: Plain water! Add a little fresh orange juice if you like. Chocolate cake What’s in it? High amounts of sugar, fat and additives! What’s the damage? Like most fatty, sugary foods, cakes are very high in calories. A good alternative: Fresh fruit with yoghurt is a delicious dessert! Eat More Healthily - Dr. Jackson says... 1. You must cut down on a lot of your fave foods. It may be difficult at the start, but soon you’ll have tons more energy. 2. Don’t skip meals. You must eat three healthy, normal-sized meals a day. 3. You have no problem with your weight? You’re lucky but it’s important to choose healthy food every day. 4. And remember, you don’t have to stop eating burgers and pizza completely. But you should make sure you eat more home cooked meals.

A strong wind was blowing. Mary Larson was coming back home from the cinema. When she was outside her block of flats, she saw r glass on the pavement. She looked up and saw her kitchen window broken! It was late and o all her neighbours were sleeping. She panicked but she called the police on her mobile right k away. Two policemen arrived within five minutes. Together, they unlocked the door and got into the flat. It was in a terrible mess! Some e furniture was upside down! Mary's clothes were lying on the floor and her money and n jewellery were missing! The policemen searched the flat, asked Mary some questions and wrote a report. Mary spent that night at a friend's house and the next day she got someone w to repair the window and fit a new lock. i Three days later, she went to the police station and found one of the policemen, John Edwards. Unfortunately, he didn't have any news about the burglars but he asked Mary out n for a cup of coffee. Mary said ‘yes’ because she liked John. You can guess the rest.
