【推荐1】Being fit (强健的) means a person cats well, gets a lot of exercise, and has a healthy weight. If you’re fit, your body works well and feels good. Here are five rules to live by, if you’re a kid who wants to be fit.
Eat Different Kinds of Food
You may have a favorite food, but it is best to cat different kinds of food. If you do this, you’re more likely to get what your body needs. Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while. Some foods, such as green vegetables, may taste better, the older you get. Try two fruits and three vegetables a day.
Drink Water and Milk
When you’re really thirsty, water is what you need. It’s also OK to drink some fruit juice once in a while. But not too much. And there’s a reason why you need to drink some milk. Kids need milk to build strong bones (骨骼). If you’re nine or older, drink three cups of milk every day.
Listen to Your Body
What does it feel like to be full? When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach (胃) feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don’t notice when they need to stop eating. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable.
Limit (限定) Screen Time
What’s screen time? It’s the time you spend watching TV or playing games, and using a smart phone or computer. Try to spend no more than two hours a day on screen time.
Be Active
Find ways to be active every day. You might even write down a list of fun things to do, so you can use it when your mum or dad says it’s time to stop watching TV or playing computer games!
Tell your parents about the five rules. If you’re a fit kid, why shouldn’t you have a fit mum and a fit dad?

First, spend more time with people. If you want to make friends, you need to meet people. You can go to places like coffee shops or clubs to meet people.
Then, care about your friends.

You should help them when they have problems.
Next, be a good listener. It's important to show that you're interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say and try to learn more about them.
At last, encourage (鼓励) your friends. Good friends will share both good and bad things. Never laugh at your friends in front of others. If someone is laughing at your friends, you should stop him or her.

Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. After all, everyone talks to other people frequently. But talking to new people makes many people nervous. Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less upset.
Body language
As strange as it may seem, much communication happens without any words. The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you’re talking with someone, stand up straight and look him in the eye. This shows that you’re confident. And if you’re nervous, acting like you are confident can help you feel more confident. When you’re listening, look at the other person. Lean forward to show that you’re interested in what they’re saying.
Back and forth
A good conversation is not a speech, which means that both people need to take part in it. If you’re doing all the talking, stop to give the other person time to speak. If they don’t say anything, try asking them a question.
Ask questions
Questions can also help if you’re trying to think of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they’ll talk for a while. Maybe they’ll say something you are also interested in and can reply to. People are generally excited to find others with similar interests.
When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just “yes” or “no”. Open-ended questions in English start with who, what, when, where and why.
Don’t fear silence
Don’t worry if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. Think of them as opportunities to change the topic to something you’re interested in. You could also talk about something you’ve done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person. As with any skill, you will improve on holding conversations with time. So if you’re shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation.

Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year. It’s time we spend with family members, giving gifts to each other and eating plenty of delicious food. However, at the same time it can also be a nervous time. You have to spend much time and money planing and buying presents for everyone.
