PARA 1
How can
you live a healthy life every day ? It is not very easy, but you must try
and to follow some advice. Firstly, you must choose healthy food. You mix some
fresh vegetables and fruits such as carrots and broccoli, and add some fruits such
as apples and oranges. Also, you should include more kiwi and avocado for Vitamin
C. Actually, you mix five vegetables and fruits per day. Also, do not eat too
much sugar and much dirty junk food/salt/unhealthy snacks. Secondly, do exercices
at least three times per week, preferably in the morning. It is very good for
your body and mind. Thirdly, sleep well and take herbal tea before sleeping. You
should try to sleep eight hours. Take care of your health and your life will be
better!

Do you know ABCGame? ABCGame is the DEFCountry
version of chess. The biggest difference from chess is that when pieces are
captured they can be re-entered on the board COPIED . I think that point is
fun, so I want to tell you how to play Shogi. The game is played on a board,
and each player has pieces of nine Pawns, two Lances, two Knights, two Silver
Generals, two Gold Generals, one Bishop, one Rook, and one King. First of all,
set up to all pieces on a board. Second, decide the first and second attack, so
usually challenger is first attacker. Then, player take tunes to move a piece
that belongs to them. Each Piece is moved different rules, but no two pieces
can occupy the same square. Lastly, who capture the opposing player’s King that
called “checkmate” is winner. However, I never win to my brother. I’m still challenging.
Having a happy
family is everyone’s wish. Having a happy family depends on us. We do not need
to do extraordinary things to have a happy family. There are a few points that
help us to be a happy family. First, I need to think and act more and do the
best VAGUE, MEANING? RW EXPLAIN MORE Determine the purpose for our family
life. Show our feeling together in different ways. Tell them that you love them.
We surprise them sometimes. Try to plan for family games and group picnics.
Play music and dance or do workouts together. Treat my family like my close
friend. Finally in my opinion, the most important thing that makes a family
happy is feeling safe and peaceful/ safety and peace.
safe and peaceful - adj
safety and peace- noun
pronoun
is shifting from ‘I’ to ‘we’ to ‘you’ - that is confusing
If you switch pronouns, you
should signal the switch.
e.g You can plan game nights
for your family. For my family, we play cards a few times a month.
I
decided to have a healthy life. I eat fresh vegetable and organic food. I try
to think about positive things and do meditation everyday. For doing
meditation, first sit in a quiet place and close your eyes. After that, try to
not think about anything or listen to surrounding voices. Do exercise three times
a week in a gym or outside on the beach. Read a book. Being with family and
speaking and playing some sports with them are very good choices. Try to be in
the moment. I try to do all of these although I know that it is very hard.
Good
ideas. Well organized.
