You have probably heard that breakfast is the important meal of the day. After not eating for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will have more energy in the morning after eating breakfast.
We are trying to lose weight. We don't have time and end up working through our lunch break. But try to eat a light lunch each day.
We all need to eat snacks from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks.
With our busy life we always put off dinner until the last minutes. Try to eat dinner at least three hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to “eat” most of the food before you rest for the next eight hours.

When you meet problems, who will you ask for help? Your parents, your teachers or your friends? Students in Peking University did a survey among 3,000 middle school students. It says that students turn to different people for help in face of difficulties.
The result shows that 36% of the students ask their parents for help. They think parents have more experience. But sometimes parents ask questions directly. This makes them uncomfortable. Some students turn to their classmates or friends for help. Because they more common topics and can understand each other well. Some try to solve problems themselves. Some students think it is free to talk to Dr. Know about problems. They choose to write to the newspaper and ask for help. The others just do nothing.
Here are some tips on asking for help.
Share your problems. You should explain politely, quickly, and clearly when you need help. Then, if people are willing to give a hand, tell them directly what you need.
Watch and listen to your helper. You need to write down the advice on how to solve your problems.
Unhappiness won't stay for a long time, so do not think problems will catch you all the time. Instead, try to ask somebody for help with problems and you will see the bright side.

Food in China and western countries is different. Chinese people choose food very carefully. They only use fresh materials to make food. For example, they only eat fresh fish. Chinese have a lot of ideas for cooking.They can cook a chicken in over ten ways. That's why Chinese food is so popular around the world.
Western countries don't have fresh food because supermarkets usually sell stored materials. Western people like fast food, such as hamburgers and chips. They are unhealthy for man's body. Western people do not have many skills for cooking. But Western people are very good at making desserts and chocolate. They can make very delicious cakes and chocolate.
Another difference in eating is that Chinese people use chopsticks and Western people use knives and forks. Chinese people only have three meals during a day. But Western people may have more. They usually have afternoon tea.
