A healthy life

A report ----Health China,2005,which is about ten issues concerning Chinese people the most in

the year 2005.According to your understanding ,what a healthy life is like? Can you guess what

the ten issues are? A health life should include two aspects A sample list : health issues AIDS and infections ,parenting, relationships, food and nutrition, family issues, environmental

health, domestic violence(家庭暴力), air pollution, cancer, anxiety, birth control, dental health, divorce, medical emergency treatment。

Look at the issues listed in the textbook on page 17.Which issue do you think is the most

important one? Why？Work in groups and have a discussion. Drug taking

Drug taking is particularly important .it does great harm to people’s health; it will gradually kill a

person if he gets addicted to it. Buying drug costs a lot of money, many families break up in this way. Our government has to spend much money on drug addicts’ treatment. Parenting is important

Because many issues arise as a result of bad parenting or lack of care and love. If children grow up in happy and healthy families ,they will form good habits and keep away from bad habits. Smoking is important Smoking does great harm to people’s health, it causes damage to people’s lung and heart，smoking shortens people’s

lifespan(寿命)。Smoking not only does harm to people who smoke, but also affect the people around them.

All these issues are important and need to be concerned. I am wondering if any of you smoke?...We know some adolescents(青少年) started smoking at very early years. Why do you think they smoke? Some realized the harm of smoking and wanted to stop it, do you know any scientific ways of stopping smoking? StepⅡ

Sample Letter Dear Li Xiaolei, I am sorry you have had so much trouble to stop smoking, but I am

glad you are still trying. I hope the tips below will help you. First of all, don’t

give up. The more often you try the more likely you are to eventually

succeed. When you feel irritable, don’t

automatically reach for a cigarette to makeyou feel better. T

ake a few moments to relax. Start by breathing deeply and lifting your arms out to the side and over your head. It is a good idea to drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit when you are quitting smoking. This will help to remove the nicotine from your body faster and you won’t

feel so sick. It is normal to feel a little stressed when you first give up smoking, but try to remember

that it will only last a few days and then you will begin to feel much better. Keep up the good work, Li Xiaolei ,and remind yourself how much healthier you will be

when you finally quit. Good luck and best wishes, Sun Gao Step 4 Homework
