It is a little hard to buy train tickets(票), bus tickets or air tickets. Many people take cars for traveling.

Last May Day my family went to the countryside by car for our holiday. There was too much traffic(交通) on the road, so we had to move very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. After some time, we came to a farm. It was clean and beautiful. The animals were very cute. We thought it was a nice place for a picnic(野餐), so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down under a big green tree. Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and have our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. What a bad trip!

Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.

Eat with others. 1. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.

Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty — sometimes you are just thirsty. You need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going, so you must eat something for breakfast. 2.

Eat healthy snacks(小吃、零食) like fruits, yogurt(酸奶) or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that 3.

4. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest(消化) most of the food before you rest for the next 8 — 10 hours.

A.Don’t eat dinner late.

B.You will be smarter after eating breakfast.

C.It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits.

D.you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.

E.Healthy eating is very important for us.
