Better hygiene (卫生) habits can help you stay healthy
According to the World Health Organization, 60 percent of people's health problems are related(与…相关) to everyday hygiene habits. As the COVID-19 spreads across the world, governments and organizations in many countries have suggested that people should pay more attention to their daily hygiene practices.
In China, for example, people usually share dishes together at the dining table. But this habit has a high risk of spreading diseases through saliva(唾液). To fight against COVID-19, many cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, have called on people to order separate(分开的)meals or use serving chopsticks(公筷) to take their food. Many people also suggest that Chinese should continue these habits after the outbreak.
In the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has asked people to develop healthy hygiene habits. For example, people should cover their mouth and nose with a tissue when they cough or sneeze.
According to a survey by YouGov, a British market research company, many Americans have taken action to change their daily habits in the face of COVID-19.

For |
Square dancing is a helpful way for elderly people to stay fit. Square dancing has become an important socializing opportunity(社交机会) for those parents whose grown children have left to start their own families. If governments provide large places where people can dance a bit far from living blocks, most of the complaints will go away. |
Against |
Square dancing in public may not be acceptable to all elderly people. Some of them hate the noise caused by such kind of dancing. Square dancing is something that elderly people themselves invented. They just want to be left by themselves to do what they like. There are some other healthier ways to exercise for people from different age groups and with different health .situations.

Mr Smith was ill and he went to see a doctor. The doctor asked him to put out his tongue(舌头), and then he said," OK, You can put your tongue back now. There's nothing wrong with you, but I'm afraid you have a problem. You hardly ever take exercise."
"But, doctor," Mr Smith said," I don't think so."
"Don't tell me what you think," the doctor said," I know what you need. I see a lot of people like you. None of them goes any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening. You must walk quickly for at least(至少)20 minutes a day."
"I don't want to hear any excuse," the doctor said." You must find time for exercise. If you don't, you will get fat and have health problems."
"But I walk every day," Mr Smith said.
"Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few meters to the bus stop from your house, a few more meters from the bus stop to your office, and a few more meters from your office to your dining—room for lunch and back. That's not a real walk. I'm talking about a walk in the park or by the lake for twenty minutes every day."
"Would you please listen to me, doctor? Mr Smith said, getting a little angry with his doctor.
"I'm a postman," Mr Smith went on," and I walk for nearly(几乎)seven hours every day."
For a moment the doctor was silent(沉默的), then he said quietly," Put out your tongue again, will you?
