I – group: Health problems.
P1: I interviewed a lot of pupils of our school and found out that a lot of them don’t have breakfast and regular meals. They are rarely careful about what they eat and drink. They often eat junk food such as chips, cakes, chocolates, biscuits which have got cholesterol in it. It causes stomach - ache.
P2: I also interviewed a lot of pupils of our school and found out that a lot of them have the problems of eyesight and hearing. Because sit down and watch TV and play computer games, use their cell - phones much time or listen to loud music. They effect their eyes and ears.

But I think it’s wrong. Smokers often have health problems such as problems with skin and hair, heart and teeth and others.
II – group: What should you do to be healthy?

In summer you go in for swimming, athletics, or playing football. In winter you can skate, ski, play basketball, volleyball. It makes you strong and healthy.”
P2: I interviewed my grandchildren and they said: “ You shouldn’t eat snack, chips. You should eat fruits and vegetables, fish, drink milk, kymyz, shubat. You shouldn’t stay up late playing computer games, or watching TV. You should sleep more. Of course you should help your parents. ”
