M: Hello, Betty! I haven't seen you for a long time.
W: Yes,I was in France for a business study. I stayed there for about three months and came back only yesterday.
M: Oh, I see. Did you visit any interesting places there?

M:Well, how do you feel now?
W: I am not feeling myself. I've got a cut on my head. And my head aches terribly. I must have knocked it on the windscreen when my car went into the tree.
M: Well, you were lucky that you had fastened your safety belt. Otherwise you could have been killed or hurt badly.
W: Do I have to stay in hospital for a long time?
M: No, I think you'll be well enough to go home. Nothing is serious. The nurse will dress your injury, and then you'd better lie down and rest for half an hour at least. You can take some medicine for the injury.
W: Will I be able to go to work tomorrow?
M: No. You'd better rest for a few days.

What's the best way to lose weight? Diet? No. Most people who diet may regain the lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. When people change their habits to new and healthy behavior, weight loss may be successful.Here are ways to make that happen.
Exercise. Exercise burns calories and builds muscle. Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things can be helpful.
Reduce screen time. One reason people get less exercise these days is an increase in screen time.Limiting your screen time to less than 2 hours a day may be the most suitable.It can make you eat fewer snacks.
Drink healthily. Another reason for weight gain is that more people drink unhealthy drinks that can make them get fat.So choose to drink water or low-fat milk.
Eat fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables have fewer calories than many other foods. And when you eat more fruit and vegetables, you won't overeat.
Have breakfast.Breakfast brings you energy to do more during the day.People who don't have breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on.
