   I'm having a great time on my student exchange program in France. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here but there wasn't {#blank#}1{#/blank#}reason to be. My host family is really nice. The grandmother always helps me practice {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(speak) French. You can't believe how quickly my French{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (improve) because of that. I'm very comfortable speaking French now. My {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(big) challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things here are very different {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the way they are at home. For example, you're not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You should put it on the table! At first I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(think) that was pretty strange, but now I'm used to it. I find that it's{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (polite) to say that you're full. If you don't want any{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(much)food, you should just say, "That was delicious." I also find it difficult to remember everything, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}I'm gradually getting used to it. I don't find French customs so strange anymore. I'll write again soon and tell you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}is happening my daily life. Hope you're having a good school year.

    Nick is a 14-year-old schoolboy. His life is full of exams and studies from Monday {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Friday every week. He has little free time. He thinks playing computer games is the best way {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(make) himself relaxed. When he has free time, he always sits in front of the computer. Sometimes he doesn't eat or drink for several {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(hour) .

    Last weekend, he played computer games again. He was very {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(exciting) and didn't want to move. He didn't have{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(something) for six hours. When he had to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(go) to the bathroom, he found he could not move. Then he was ill. He had to see a doctor. The doctor told him he should do more exercise and outdoor activities to make him have a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(health) body.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}coming back from the hospital, ick follows the doctor's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(advise) . He often plays football with his friends. Sometimes he still plays computer games, but he {#blank#}10{#/blank#}does it for a long time. Now he has a happy and healthy life.

Today, many students are always stressed out. They are often too busy to think{#blank#}1{#/blank#} their diets and exercise. Healthy eating, along with regular(定期的) exercise {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (keep) you healthy. Do you think it is the only way to keep us in {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(healthy)?

As we know, it is important to give your body the energy it needs. Teenage girls {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (need) about 2,200 calories(卡路里) a day and boys need a bit more. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (fiftieth) percent of your calories should come from rice, bread, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(vegetable) and fruit. You also need to d{#blank#}7{#/blank#} a lot of water, six to eight glasses a day. Enough water will improve your skin and give you healthy hair.

Exercise can help to make you look good, feel good {#blank#}8{#/blank#} be healthy. Scientists suggest that teenagers should spend at{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(little) 30 minutes exercising every day.

Exercise can make you feel {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (relax)and energetic. It can even help you sleep better at night.

Let's eat healthily and take more exercise.
