irritant in the air, which can be addressed with allergy eyedrops.) The sick
child shouldn't return to class until he's been treated for at least one day. He
should wash his hands regularly and avoid touching his eyes and sharing
hand towels, blankets, or pillows so he doesn't infect anyone else in his home.

SESSION 3
Communication task
You are participating in a competition at the American embassy. You receive a
text which talks about water. Read it and do the activities that follow.

WHY IS WATER IMPORTANT FOR HEALTH?


It’s common to hear that water is essential for our health. But why?
This substance makes up a majority of our body and is included in
many functions such as regulating body temperature and helping
our brain function.

We get most of our water from drinking but food also contributes a
small amount to our daily water. Our body loses water through
sweat during physical activity and in hot environments. Sweat
keeps our body cool. It regulates body temperature when we’re
exercising or in warm temperatures.

To sum up we think that our body uses water to sweat, urinate, and
have bowel movements. We also need enough water in our system
to be healthy and avoid constipation.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES

Every day, you come into contact with millions of outside germs and viruses. They
can infect your body, and in some cases, you’re not feeling well. Germs on your
hands can easily enter your body through your mouth, nose, eyes, or ears.
So, wash your hands when you touch food, before you eat, any time you
touch an animal. You must know that personal hygiene is how you care for
your body. This practice includes bathing, washing your hands, brushing
your teeth, and more. The best ways to learn more about why hygiene is so
important is to practice it.

follow it.
TEXT
People practise different kinds of sports: team sports like football and basketball, and
individual sports such as cycling and athletics. There are many good reasons for
joining a sport. People practise sports in order to benefit from many advantages.
Sports require you to move your body, and it’s a commonly known fact that exercise
is good for your health. They help us feel good, both physically and mentally. The
amelioration of physical and mental development of children is certainly one of the
most important contributions of sports. Physical activity helps control weight and
combats diseases. Though individual sports are great, team sports actually teach you a
life lesson: the success of a team. If you are a teenager and you have not played a
sport yet, now is the perfect time to give it a try!
