The Important of Learning English

In today’s world, multilingualism is becoming more and more important. In addition to

opening up employment opportunities, being able to speak a foreign language helps to make a

real connection with people and to know more about diverse cultures, places and lifestyles. The

more proficient you are, the better you can express yourself.

Out of the 6 500 spoken languages in the world today, why choose to learn English? As

the third most widely spoken language in the world, English is widely spoken and taught in

over 118 countries and is commonly used around the world as a trade language or diplomatic

language. It is the language of science, aviation, computers, diplomacy and tourism. Last but

not least, it is the language of international communication, the media and the internet.

Whether it is for professional or personal reasons, understanding the importance of

English will help you reach your goals. Here are a few reasons why you should keep learning

and practising your English language skills.

1. English is the Language of International Communication

Although English is not the most spoken language in the world, it is the official language

in 53 countries and is spoken as a first language by around 400 million people worldwide. But

that’s not all, it is also the most common second language in the world. According to the British

Council, by 2020 about two billion people in the world will be studying English.

Therefore, it is highly likely that if you meet someone from another country, you will

both be able to speak English. It gives you an open door to the world and helps you

communicate with global citizens.

2. English gives access to more entertainment and more access to the Internet

Nowadays, many films, TV shows, books and music are published and produced in

English. By understanding English, you won’t need to rely on translations and subtitles

anymore. By accessing these media, you will also continuously improve your English listening

and reading skills.

English is currently the language of the internet. An estimated of 565 million people use

the internet every day and about 52% of the world’s most visited websites are displayed in

English. Therefore, learning this language gives access to over half the content of the internet,

which might not be available otherwise. Whether it is for fun or for work, if you understand

English, you will be able to exchange information with more people online and use many more

materials.

3. English makes it easier to travel

As highlighted before, since English is spoken as a first language in 53 countries and as

a second language in over 118 countries, learning the language makes it much easier to travel

anywhere. Indeed, airport announcements, train timetables, emergency information and street

signs are often available in English, including in countries where the native language uses a

different type of alphabet. It goes without saying that, when travelling to a country where you

don’t speak the language, you are practically guaranteed to find someone who understands at

least some English.

4. English can make you ‘smarter’

Learning a foreign language enhances your cognitive and analytical abilities. Learning a

new language can be difficult and it involves a lot of mental exercises. Research from a 2012

Swiss Study shows that learning a new language changes the brain structures, impacting the

parts of the brain responsible for memory, conscious thought and it can make you more
creative. In the long term, bilingualism can keep the brain strong and healthy into old age and

supports concentration and memory skills. On an individual level, it improves personality and

increases sense of self-worth. In simple words, learning a foreign language makes the brain

stronger and more versatile.

Human body parts and organs

It goes without saying that humans (mammals identifiable as those that stand upright

and are comparatively advanced and capable of detailed thought) have pretty remarkable

bodies, given all that they've accomplished. (Furthermore, an especially intelligent human

brain produced this text!) To be sure, humans have overcome predators, disease, and all sorts

of other obstacles over thousands of years.

The head, or the spherical body part that contains the brain and rests at the top of the

human body, has quite a few individual organs and body parts on it. (It should quickly be

mentioned that hair occupies the space on top of the head, and the ears, the organs

responsible for hearing, are located on either side of the head.) From top to bottom, the

eyebrows, or horizontal strips of hair that can be found above the eye, are the first
components of the head. The eyes are below them, and are round, orb-like organs that allow

humans to see.

The eyes make way for the nose, or an external (sticking-out) organ that plays an

important part in the breathing and bacteria-elimination processes. Below that is the mouth,

or a wide, cavernous organ that chews food, removes bacteria, helps with breathing, and

more. The mouth contains teeth, or small, white-colored, pointed body parts used to chew

food, and the tongue, or a red-coloured, boneless organ used to chew food and speak.

The neck is the long body part that connects the head to the chest (the muscular body

part that protects the heart and lungs), and the stomach, or the part of the body that contains

food and liquid-processing organs, comes below that.

The legs are the long, muscular body parts that allow humans to move from one spot to

another and perform a variety of actions. Each leg contains a thigh (a thick, especially

muscular body part used to perform strenuous motions; the upper part of the leg) and a calf

(thinner, more flexible body part that absorbs the shock associated with movement; the lower

part of the leg). Feet can be found at the bottom of legs, and each foot is comprised of five

toes, or small appendages that help balance.

Arms are long, powerful body parts that are located on either side of chest, below the

shoulders; arms are comprised of biceps (the thicker, more powerful upper portion), and

forearms (the thinner, more flexible lower portion). Hands, or small, gripping body parts

used for a tremendous number of actions, are at the end of arms. Each hand contains five

fingers, or small appendages used to grip objects.

The aforementioned shoulders are rounded body parts that aid arms' flexibility. One's

back is found on the opposite side of the stomach, and is a flat section of the body that
contains important muscles that're intended to protect the lungs and other internal organs, in

addition to helping humans perform certain motions and actions.

Questions!

1. What body parts is not located on the head or face?

2. Legs are comprised of which of the following?

3. How many toes and fingers are on each foot/hand?

4. The part of the body that contains important organs that aid digestion is?

HOW TO STAY HEALTHY

People who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables are less likely to have heart problems. You should

eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. One portion is e.g. a banana, an apple,

one slice of melon or pineapple or two plums. Remember that potatoes are not included on

that list.

Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. And people with high blood pressure are

three times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke than people with normal

blood pressure. Three-quarters (75%) of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, such as

breakfast cereals, soups, sauces and ready meals. So you could easily be eating too much salt

without realising it.

Having too much saturated fat can cause heart disease. Products that contain large amounts of

saturated fats are meat pies, cheese, butter, lard, cream, cakes. You should replace butter and

lard with vegetable oils, which don’t contain saturated fat.

Having sugary foods and drinks too often can cause tooth decay. Cutting down on sugar will

help you control your weight. Sugar is added to many types of food e.g. fizzy drinks, juices,

sweets, biscuits, cakes, ice cream

We should be drinking about 6 to 8 glasses of water every day and even more when the

weather is warm.

Don’t drink too much coffee or tea as they can dehydrate you.

Healthy Diet for Kids: Food Pyramid

Have you ever heard of the Food Pyramid? No, it’s not a giant pile of food in Egypt! The

Food Pyramid is a clever chart to show the five groups of foods that have all the nutrients that

keep your body healthy and make you grow. It includes the different foods from all five

groups and how much of each type of food you should eat.

The foods that make up the widest part of the pyramid’s base–breads, cereals, rice and

pasta–should be the biggest part of your diet, followed by several servings of fresh fruits and

vegetables every day. And as you ‘climb’ up the pyramid you get to dairy products (milk,

cheese, yogurt) and meat, fish, beans, nuts and eggs. And finally, fats, oils, and sweets are at

the very top of the pyramid–which means that you should eat very little of these foods!
 Remember that it’s very important to eat these good foods, and also exercise regularly. And

one of the most important meals of the day is breakfast! If you eat a healthy breakfast before

leaving for school, you’re sure to have better grades, pay more attention at school, and stay

healthier than those kids who don’t eat breakfast.

Healthy life expectancy is shorter in the UK than abroad

People in the UK enjoy fewer years of good health before they die than the citizens of most

comparable European countries as well as Australia and Canada, a major report shows. The

health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said Britain's performance was "shocking" compared with that

of other countries, and called for action to turn it around by local health commissioners, who

are about to take up their new responsibilities.

The UK ranked 12th out of 19 countries of similar affluence in 2010 in terms of healthy life

expectancy at birth, according to a detailed analysis from the Global Burden of Disease data

collected by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in Seattle. While life

expectancy has improved by 4.2 years in the UK over the two decades, other countries have

improved faster. In 2010, Spain topped the league. Its people could expect 70.9 years of

healthy life – before disease and disability began to take a toll. Second came Italy, with 70.2

years and third was Australia, on 70.1 years. In the UK, we can expect 68.6 healthy years of

life.

Hunt said the UK was a long way behind its global counterparts and called for action by local

health commissioners to tackle the five big killers – cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory

and liver diseases. He will on Tuesday announce a strategy to tackle cardiovascular disease,

which he says could save 30,000 lives a year. "Despite real progress in cutting deaths, we

remain a poor relative to our global cousins on many measures of health, something I want to

change," he said. But the problem is only in part to do with hospital care – much of it is about

the way we live. Our diet, our drinking and continuing smoking habits all play a part,
according to one of the report's authors, Prof John Newton, chief knowledge officer of Public

Health England, which assumes its responsibilities on 1 April.

It must be worth looking to see how Italy and Greece (at 11th, just ahead of the UK) can do

better than us in spite of their economic and political problems, he said. It was not difficult to

get fresh fruit and olive oil in the UK. "It is more the propensity not to stuff yourself with all

the wrong things, which we are rather good at," he said. Drinking and drug use have been the

main issues behind the worsening of the UK's ranking in early deaths among adults aged 20-

54. In 2010, drugs were the sixth leading cause of death in this age group and alcohol was

18th – up from 32nd and 43rd place respectively 20 years earlier. As people live longer,

disability is becoming an ever-bigger issue. In 2010, mental and behavioural disorders

(mainly depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol use, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder), and

musculoskeletal disorders (mainly lower back pain and falls) were responsible for more than

half of all years lived with disability in the UK.

Doctors Reading Comprehension

When most people are ill with a non-life-threatening condition, they will most often see a

General Practitioner, a GP, also called a Family Doctor. These doctors generally work in the

local community in surgeries rather than in hospitals, so they are convenient for people to see

for a consultation. However, other GPs can work in a very wide range of areas, such as in

hospitals, in education and for insurance companies.

As the name suggests, GPs are doctors that do not have a specialty, such as a brain surgeon or

cancer specialist: they are able to diagnose and treat all the possible diseases and problem that

one of their patients might have. They can treat and manage most illnesses and perform some

minor surgeries in their practice. Then for more serious cases they will refer the patient to a

specialist that will work in a hospital.

If you are ill and need to see a GP you will normally need to make an appointment.

Sometimes you can just walk into the surgery and see a doctor, but that is not very likely as

GPs are normally very busy and all their appointment times will be fully booked. Often you

have to wait several hours if not at least one of two days before you can get an appointment

with a GP. If you are too ill to wait you have to go to a hospital and visit the accident and

emergency department.
GPs also make house-calls. These are when the GP comes to your house to treat you or see a

patient. Most often a GP has to make house-calls to see elderly people who cannot get to the

surgery easily. They might be ill and need to doctor to give them medicine or it could be that

the GP just want to check on them and make sure that they are ok.

If you are ill, the doctor will normally prescribe you some medicine and tell you to go away

for a few days before you go back and visit them again if you have not started to get better.

The GP will also explain how you can have a better lifestyle that could prevent you from

becoming ill in the first place. They will normally recommend that you stop smoking

cigarettes (if you do), not to drink too much alcohol and to get exercise. Once you have your

prescription you will need to visit a pharmacy to get the medicine the doctor prescribed you.

Countable and Uncountable nouns

In English, nouns can be countable or uncountable. Countable nouns can be individually

counted. Objects that aren’t counted are uncountable. Anything that can be counted, whether

singular – a dog, a house, a friend, etc. or plural – a few books, lots of oranges, etc. is a

countable noun. Anything that cannot be counted is an uncountable noun. Even though

uncountable nouns are not individual objects, they are always singular and one must always use

singular verbs in conjunction with uncountable nouns

Is the underlined noun countable or uncountable?

1. The children fell asleep quickly after a busy day of fun.

2. Be careful! The water is deep.

3. The parade included fire trucks and police cars.

took my temperature. He said that I had had the flu and told me to stay in bed and to have a
