Leader.

Dear friends, let us introduce our project to you now. But first we'd like you to guess these puzzles.

І група

 

1) I can be red or yellow or green.

I grow in the tree in the garden.

I am tasty in the autumn and in winter. What am I? (Apple)

2) I am very small.

I grow in the orchard, I am ripe in summer.

My first letter is “C”.

Children like jam with me. What am I? (Cherry)

3) We are very tasty, when we are green.

We grow in the kitchen-garden.

People like to eat us with tomatoes in salads. What am I? (Cucumber)

 

P1. It is very important to eat healthy food. Your body needs six things to grow and be healthy: carbohydiates, fats, fibre, minerals, proteins and vitamins.

Carbohydrates give us energy. Fats give us energy and help to keep warm.

 

Fibre is very important for your body to work well.

 

Your body also needs twenty difrerent minerals. Proteins help vour bodv grow.

 

Vitamins help to keep you healthy.

 

P2. As for me, I think it is very important to eat healthy food and to get right balance of vitamins. For example, vitamin A which we get from eggs, milk

and green vegetables, is necessary for our growth, and for healthy skin and

eyes.

 

P2. Another good example is vitamin C. We get vitamin C from green vegeta-

 fruit, and potatoes. We need vitamin C for healthy skin,

 

 

We need vitamin C for healthy skin, bones and muscles.

 

P3. Food and drink also provide us with lots of important minerals – calcium and iron. We get calcium from milk and cheese. Calcium is important for building healthy teeth and bones. As for iron, we get that from liver, meat, fish, cereal and green vegetables. Iron helps to give us healthy blood.

ІІ група

 

Leader.  A lot of people are interested in how to make themselves healthy. They

try to find different ways. A very important factor is physical exercises. They help us to be fit and active. They make our body strong and keep us mentally well. If you want to be healthy you are to go in for sport and games. Those who go in for sport regularly are cheerful, active people full of energy.

 

Pl. Physically inactive people get old earlier than those who have plenty of

exercises. If you do daily exercises, you feel refreshed, you have a good posture

and that is good.

 

So, pay attention to the way you stand, walk and sit.

Leader. What does it mean to be fit? The dictionary says that this expression

means to be in a good physical form. What do we need to be ht? Doctors explain that several things are important: what food we eat, how you take care of

your body and your clothes. What daily habits you have. How often you exercise. Their advice is that people should laugh and smile more often. When you

laugh and smile, your body relaxes.
