Task2: Read the article about ‘Don’t Skip Breakfast’ and answer the
questions below.
Don’t Skip Breakfast
Do you skip breakfast? Millions of people do, and if you are one of
them, you are putting your ability to think and learn at risk. Skipping
breakfast can cause you to be hungry, tired, or grumpy by the middle of
the morning. Why is that? First, when you wake up, you have not eaten for
about eight hours. Your body’s fuel, called glucose, is low. Eating
breakfast raises the level of glucose in your brain. Your brain requires a
constant flow of glucose to do mental work.
So eating breakfast will give you a mental edge at school. What if
you don’t have enough time for breakfast or if you are not hungry when
you wake up? Having something for breakfast is better than nothing. Drink
some milk or juice. Then catch a nutritious snack later on in the morning.
Yoghurt, dry cereal, cheeses, or fruit are good choices. What if you don’t
like breakfast foods? Then eat healthy foods you do like. Even cold pizza
or a fruit smoothie can power your morning. Any way you look at it,
there’s no reason to skip this essential meal.

Task3: Writing
Topic 1: An Email Giving advice
Dear Arina,
I was sorry to hear that you don't feel comfortable about your
weight. Don't worry though because I think that I can help you.
I think the best thing would be to change your eating habits. You
should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables instead of fast food. In this
way, you won't put on any more weight. Why don't you join a gym or a
sports club? This will help you keep fit and lose weight and perhaps make
more friends. After you do these things you will feel better.
I hope my advice helps you. Remember it is not such a big deal and
you can easily lose six kilos.
Take care,
Ulzhan
