4. 围绕bite and sup habit,谈谈你对饮食习惯的看法。英语词汇网 www.wbw.com.cn 20060616121457

    Today, I want to write something about our life habits.  Taking eating for example, everyone is familiar with it, but how much do they know about it?  Maybe some of us just don’t care about such matters.  We all know when we should eat and how much we should eat, but not the balance of diet.  If someone just eats a little, he doesn’t store enough energy for daily activities.  If we turn things around, eating too much may not only result in disease but also bring other problems, such as overweight, weariness. So a healthy diet is necessary for us if we want to have good health. Generally speaking, a balanced diet includes meat, vegetables, fruit and staple food with a regular quantity at certain times. 英语词汇网 www.wbw.com.cn 20060616121457
