Trang 3Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning You should drink this water first thing, before doing anything else The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature; neither too hot nor too cold
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways It helps clean out your kidneys It
prepares your stomach for digestion Water can also help your intestines work better After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day But don’t drink all of that water in one
sitting If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it It’s better to drink some in the
morning and some in the afternoon Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not during meals They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs This can interfere with normal digestion
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine If it is light yellow, you are probably drinking enough If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water A little more water each day could make you much healthier

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question
Grandparents are becoming the forgotten generation, with youngsters now too busy to listen to their stories from the olden days
A study of 1,000 five to 18 year-olds reveals just 21 per cent will visit their older relatives to hear about how their lives were different in the past; such as where they worked, how it was living in the war, and how they met the love of their life More than half of youths have no idea what job their grandparent did before retirement – admitting they’d never thought to ask Sadly, one in 10 admitted they are simply not interested in their
grandmother’s or grandad’s previous job or talents and interests, and a quarter only turn up to see them for pocket money But 23 per cent claim the reason they don’t know anything about their older relatives is because they don’t really get the chance to talk properly
Geoff Bates, spokesman for McCarthy & Stone’s Inspirational Generation campaign, said: “We know this generation have lived full lives with heroic tales to tell and so much to offer, but how many of us have actually
thought to ask these questions of our older family members? We want to shout about the amazing feats retirees
have achieved in their lifetime and put the spotlight on the wonderfully colorful lives of today’s older people
We are calling on parents and children to talk to their grandparents, to find out what they have done in their
lives – and continue to do, and tell us all about it so we can give them the credit they deserve.”
Researchers found that although 65 per cent of youngsters do see their grandparents every single week, 37 per cent claim this is only because their parents want them to And while 39 per cent talk to their grandparents on the phone, Facebook or Skype at least once a week – 16 per cent once a day – conversation is rarely focused on what they are doing or have done in the past Four in 10 kids have no idea what their grandparents proudest achievements are, while 30 per cent don’t know if they have any special skills or talents And 42 per cent don’t
Trang 4spend any time talking about their grandparent’s history – and are therefore clueless about what their
grandmother or grandad was like when they were younger Perhaps due to this lack of communication and
respect, just six per cent of children say they look up to their grandparents as a role model and inspiration
However, grandchildren are agreed their grandparents are both loving and friendly, while 43 per cent think they’re funny – with 23 per cent admitting they often have more fun with their elderly relatives than their parents
