Script:

Tom: Hi Lan! Why do come to school so early today?

Lan: Hi Tom! I always get up early at 5.30 a.m., do some morning

exercise and go to school at 6.30 a.m.

Tom: Wow! It’s a good habit to keep fit but I’m too lazy for it
because I often stay up late to watch films. I often get up quite late
at 6.15 a.m. except today when my dad has to travel on business.

Lan: Watching films is also a good hobby! Films help us learn more
about different cultures. They also teach us how to behave or react
in some special situations. For example, what to do when there is a
fire or an earthquake.

Tom: That’s true. But I think I’ll need to arrange my schedule so

that I can get up earlier for morning exercise. I want to look as
great as you!

Lan: Thank you, Tom! Good health surely helps us study better.

Script:

Good morning, children! Today I’ll give you some tips on how to
keep fit. First, remember to have different kinds of food. Some of
you may like hamburgers and want to have it all the time, but
that’s unhealthy. Change your food as often as you can! Second,
drink more water and milk. They will bring you more good minerals
and help you build strong bones. Fruit juice is also good for you but
avoid soft drinks because they have lots of added sugar. The next
tip is: Do not use your phones, tablets, computers or watch TV too
much! They are not good for your eyes and they keep you away
from physical activities. Always keep your body active! Playing
football, badminton, or any kinds of sports will surely bring you
good health.
