A. Find six things Don’t would like to change in his life. Write 5 sentences with his wishes.
I used to enjoy life more. Nowadays, I just go to work in
the morning and come home in the evening. I don’t
enjoy my job anymore, but I must say the money is
good. I don’t go out as often as I used to. I used to go to
the movies once a week. Now I go to the movies once a
month. And I used to visit my friends all the time. Now I
never see them. My weekends are really boring, too. I
spend my time cleaning the house and watching TV.
Why don’t I go out more often? I guess I just got lazy.
Perhaps I should buy a car. Yeah, I’ve saved a lot of
money. I’ll go buy a new car right now! ( Mack)

Happy Kids Healthy Kids - Feed Kids Healthy Food
There are major benefits to feeding children healthy food. Healthy food builds children who think more clearly,
are less prone to illness, and are stronger. Children who eat healthfully may live
longer, healthier lives, and can prevent obesity.
Teaching children to eat well may seem overwhelming, but is actually very simple
if you follow these 6 simple ways.
Eat together. Family meals are a reassuring routine for the whole family. This is
the time kids actually get to observe their parent's eating habits. Although that
puts the pressure on you to eat a well-balanced and well-proportioned meal, and
eat with good manners, it pays off with a lifetime of early-developed good habits
in your children.
Serve a variety of food. Don't serve always the same menu. Periodically change and purchase a food you or
your family has never tried before. The benefits of variety are many; intake of a variety of vitamins and
minerals, more aesthetic appeal, and development of more accepting taste-buds. When serving a meal, try to
aim for different colours and textures. If your children get into the habit of seeing fruits and vegetables at
every dinner meal, they'll expect them at other meals as well.
Keep healthy foods convenient. When kids are hungry they grab for the closest and easiest food. Have
fruits and vegetables pre-washed and ready on the counter when they come home from school. If you want,
they can dip fruit or vegetables in a low-fat cream cheese dip or in peanut butter. If unhealthy foods aren't
within reach and ready to eat, they won't eat them.
Limit portions. Teach your children moderation, and practise it yourself. Children sometimes don't know when
to stop eating. Show them what an appropriate portion size is for them, and teach them self control when they
want more. Moderating vegetable and fruit consumption usually isn't the problem; popcorn, potato chips, and
cookies are harder to stop eating.
Avoid processed foods. "Processed" refers to foods that aren't derived naturally; such
as potato chips, candy, and cookies or cupcakes. Choose foods that are closer to nature,
such as fruits, nuts, vegetables, cheese and yogurt. Refined products such as white
sugar and white flour are easily overeaten, stored as fat, and cause rapid changes in
blood sugar. Whole grains, nuts, and honey have more staying power and are digested
more slowly so that they provide the energy a child needs to make it through the day.
Studies have shown that children who limit their refined foods actually think more
clearly, and sleep better, among many other benefits.
Don't link emotion with food. Many times parents reward children with food. Although this is okay
sometimes, if done too often it can cause children to link food with behaviour, and tying an emotion to food
may create problems later on. If you reward your child with food, make it a healthful choice, such as making
them their favorite healthful dinner, or going out for low-fat frozen yogurt.
Parents, who neglect to teach children proper eating habits, who feed their children highly processed foods,
and who reward children with food, leave their kids susceptible to obesity.
