Đề bài

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies go to make other kids a miserable school life, but a new study suggests that classrooms are another popular place.

The study, presented recently at the American Public Health Association’s yearly meeting in Philadelphia, is based on the results of the research from more than 10,000 middle school students who answered questions online.

Of those researched, 43% said they’d been physically bullied within the last month. A bit more than half said they had been laughed at in an unfriendly way, and half reported being called hurtful names. About one third said groups had excluded them to hurt their feelings. 28% said their belongings had been taken or broken; 21% said someone had threatened to hurt them. According to the results, two-thirds of the students said they had been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.

The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they had missed school at least once during the school year because of fear of being bullied, 25% said they had taken other actions, such as missing recess, not going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area of the school to escape from experiencing a bully. Bullies did too much to the school life.

Bài 3 :

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

     In a recent government survey on healthy eating teens scored only out of 10. Only 1 in 10 teens eats the recommended amount of fruit and the only vegetable that many teens eat is “chips”. Most teens in the developed  world are eating too much but are still not getting the vital nutrients to help them grow and stay healthy. More information about nutrition and healthy eating is needed to help young people eat properly. Teens who diet often cut out food they need, such as bread or milk, because they think it is fattening. Others dont know what foods to choose in the school canteen in order to have a balanced diet. There is a saying “you are what you eat“”. So if you want to become the next David Beckham then you'd better start eating properly.  Lack of money in schools plus increased pressure to do well in the course exams means that teenagers are doing less sport in school than ever before. Girls, in particular, are more likely to suffer from lack of exercise and up  to 4 in 10 girls stop playing sports in their early teenage years. Just because you arent sporty doesnt mean you can t be active. Walk or cycle to school instead of taking the bus. Help at home with the housework or gardening. Go dancing with your friends. There are lots of ways you can stop being a couch potato.

     If "we are what we eat” then sleep is like food for the brain. Teens need at least 9 hours' sleep every night and even mild sleepiness can affect your performance, humour and health. Lack of sleep can make you tired, angry or depressed. Nearly 40% of secondary school students go to bed after 11 p.m. on school nights and 15% of teens say they have fallen asleep during class. In the USA some schools are starting classes at 10 a.m. so that teens can get some extra sleep. These schools have noticed an improvement in their students' work.

Một số từ vựng:

- vital nutrients (n): dưỡng chất quan trọng

- diet (v/n): ăn uống theo chế độ, ăn kiêng

- properly (adv): đúng đắn, đúng cách

1. Health myths: what's harmful and what's harmless

2. Health myths that you should stop believing

The internet is full of health advice. Some advice is actually harmful. Let's find out the truth behind the popular health myths below.

You need to detox your body.

From not eating to only drinking juice, these detox diets can be harmful because you won't get enough calories and nutrients. The truth is, we have organs that detox our bodies. Doctors suggest eating a healthy diet and drinking enough water to help your organs stay strong.

Fat-free diets are healthy.

Your body needs fat to protect its organs, and fat helps you get the benefits from some vitamins. Fat also helps you feel full for longer. Of course, too much fat is also bad. The WHO (World Health Organization) suggests getting less than 30% of your calories from fat.

You shouldn't use products that have chemicals.

Your food and your body are mostly chemicals. Some people suggest using natural products, but they are also full of chemicals. There are good and bad chemicals. Experts suggest learning which chemicals are safe and how to protect yourself. So, be careful of what you read online. Knowing which health tips are myths is key to healthy living.

Dear parents,

From next week, the school cafeteria will stop selling soda and junk food. Although many students like eating chips and candy at school, we are removing these foods. They are unhealthy and don’t help the students study well. Instead, we will include a variety of healthier snacks and fruit. We will also provide nourishing lunches every day for all students. We suggest noting any special diet needs on the school lunch form.

There will also be a weekly healthy eating and cooking class in the cafeteria. Here, students can learn about different diet, how to make a diet suitable for your body, and how to prepare simple and nourishing meals. This is a fun and free class that all students could really benefit from. Please sign up for it at the library.

We will also increase P.E. classes from two to four times a week. Although we already tried to promote exercise after school, students weren’t very interested. We hope this will help students form a habit of getting regular physical activity and understand its benefits.

Best regard,

Principal Andrew Thomas

Lauren has been blogging about her lifestyle for the last few years and her blog gives useful advice and ideas for people who want to reduce their impact on the environment.

 

Living without money

Daniel Suelo is a modern nomad – he’s moneyless and homeless, so he moves around to find food and shelter.

When he was younger he worked as a cook, but he dropped out of society and hasn’t used money since 2000. He says he’s happier since he made his decision.

Mark Boyle is another moneyless man – he hasn’t used money since 2008. Mark lives in a caravan in a field and grows his own vegetables. (2) _____ He says that he’s never been happier or healthier.
