The module 1 unit3 looks good and feels good.

(First email) Hello, Ling Zhou:

Hello. I haven't heard from you for weeks. Is everything going well?

Do you still go to the gym every day? I used to go to the gym twice a week, but now I don't exercise. I have mastered another way to keep slim. It's important for a woman to be beautiful, isn't it? Nowadays, every woman wants to have a slim figure, especially in Canada. I am trying to lose weight at present, because my figure makes me feel ashamed. A new TV series is coming soon, so I'm taking a diet pill, which is very popular among young women in Canada. I hope to be at least thin 10 kg. I take two pills every day, so I don't have to exercise.

Diet pills really work! I'm getting thinner now. I lost seven kilograms in the first two months. However, sometimes I feel tired and weak. My mother (whom you met last year) has been warning me not to take diet pills because they are harmful to my health. She said that health is priceless, and I agree with this view, but now I look so slim after taking diet pills.

Write to me quickly!

Love, Amy

(Second email) Dear Ling Zhou:

Things are changing so fast! I am now in the hospital, recovering from liver failure. I regret taking that diet pill. Those diet pills contain some harmful chemicals, which caused my liver failure. The doctor told me that if I get a new liver without fighting, my life will be in jeopardy. My mother is too old to stand such a long operation. I thought I was dead.

Later, my doctor found out that there is a man named Ann D in your country, and his liver is exactly the same as mine. Ann de donated more than half of his liver to me and saved my life. I'm lucky, aren't I

I feel much better now. I exercise for at least half an hour every day according to the doctor's advice (but I seldom go to the gym! ), eat more fruits and vegetables. Everyone should take good care of his health. My mother is right: don't ruin your health for a slim and charming figure, it's not worth the candle. We shouldn't be ashamed of our appearance, should we?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Love, Amy

(third email) Dear Amy:

There is something wrong with my computer, so I can't read your two emails until today. I'm sorry to hear that you are ill, but to my delight, you are feeling well and recovering.

I'm surprised that someone in China matches your liver perfectly! This is really a touching story-a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he didn't know at all!

You're right, we shouldn't be embarrassed about our weight. I think you look great now. I think you are a very nice person. I know that the pressure to stay slim is the key, especially for a woman. However, your mother knows best that nothing is more important than health.

It's the same in China. Many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always dieting or taking mechanical fat pills, which is often dangerous. I hope they can learn from your experience.

Love, Ling Zhou

The reality is that teenagers' eating habits and lifestyles often make adults feel headache. But the good news is that if you eat properly and exercise regularly, you will feel better, look better and be more energetic.

Healthy eating habits and regular exercise are the only ways to keep healthy. In the long run, dieting alone is not enough. However, 19% of teenagers claimed that they had tried dieting or simply didn't eat anything at dinner time to control their weight! However, if you eat moderate calories and exercise regularly, you will lose weight, stay healthy and feel great.

In adolescence, it is important to give the body enough energy. If you don't eat, you can't absorb enough calories, so you will feel tired. By the way, "calorie" is actually synonymous with energy. Adolescent girls need about 2200 calories a day, while boys need a little more-doctors recommend that adolescent boys consume 2800 calories a day. 50% of calories consumed by human body should come from rice, bread, vegetables and fruits. You also need to drink a lot of water-6-8 cups a day. Water helps to keep the human system clean. Drinking more water will improve your skin and make you have healthy hair.

Exercise can make you look good, feel good and be healthy. Experts advise teenagers to exercise at least five times a week for at least 30 minutes each time. It's easy to do! Walking and cycling count, as do sports activities at school. It is often the case that some teenagers simply give up physical exercise, claiming that they are busy with their studies and have no time for physical exercise. However, many young people are surprised to find that certain chemicals will be produced in the body during exercise, which will make people feel relaxed and enhance their attention during study. These chemicals even help to improve sleep!

Getting enough sleep every night is also important for your health. When you sleep, your body will help you prepare for the coming day. Young people need 8- 10 hours of sleep every night. In fact, insomnia can make you look tired and even get fat.

If you can follow the above suggestions, it won't be long before you look better and feel much better!
