Topic 3 保持健康的方式

1. How should schools teach students to live healthily?
I think schools can teach students to live healthy lifestyles by keeping them informed19. For example,they can teach students what kinds of foods are good to eat. They can also show them how to exercise and stay fit. Plus, science classes can include information about how the body works. If students understand that, they can understand how to treat their body well and stay healthy.

2. What do people usually do to maintain their health?
As far as I know, people usually exercise and eat healthy food to stay healthy. The first one is really important. Keeping fit is good not just for appearances, but for your overall health20 as well. Your weight can cause problems if you don’t control it. It’s also important to eat the right kinds of foods.
Fruits and vegetables are very healthy. They can give you all the vitamins you need as well as enough calories.

3. Is health education important?
Yes, health education is definitely important. For young and impressionable21 students, it can have a huge impact. Those students need to learn at an early age how to take care of themselves. If they don’t, they could develop unhealthy habits that negatively impact their health. So learning about what kinds of foods to eat and how to exercise is very important. Health education is the first step in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

4. What kinds of lifestyles are unhealthy?
I guess I’d have to say that22 a sedentary lifestyle23 is really unhealthy. You shouldn’t just lie around all day and not exercise. It can make you less fit or give you back pain24. You also need to eat roperly.Lifestyles full of over-eating25 are bad for your health as well. Basically, to stay healthy, you need to exercise and eat good food. Otherwise26 you could develop lots of different health problems.

5. What can doctors do to help people solve health-related problems?
Well, doctors can obviously give patients medicine. Different kinds of medicines can solve lots of different illnesses and other health-related problems. Besides, doctors can help people by giving them
instructions for their daily lives27. For example, they can suggest different exercises to help with muscle pain. They can also suggest types of foods to eat or to avoid. Doctors are really helpful in that way.
