Script:

Tom: Hi Lan! Why do come to school so early today?

Lan: Hi Tom! I always get up early at 5.30 a.m., do some morning exercise
and go to school at 6.30 a.m.

Tom: Wow! It’s a good habit to keep fit but I’m too lazy for it because I
often stay up late to watch films. I often get up quite late at 6.15 a.m.
except today when my dad has to travel on business.

Lan: Watching films is also a good hobby! Films help us learn more about
different cultures. They also teach us how to behave or react in some
special situations. For example, what to do when there is a fire or an
earthquake.

Tom: That’s true. But I think I’ll need to arrange my schedule so that I can
get up earlier for morning exercise. I want to look as great as you!

Lan: Thank you, Tom! Good health surely helps us study better.

Script:
Good morning, children! Today I’ll give you some tips on how to keep fit.
First, remember to have different kinds of food. Some of you may like
hamburgers and want to have it all the time, but that’s unhealthy. Change
your food as often as you can! Second, drink more water and milk. They
will bring you more good minerals and help you build strong bones. Fruit
juice is also good for you but avoid soft drinks because they have lots of
added sugar. The next tip is: Do not use your phones, tablets, computers
or watch TV too much! They are not good for your eyes and they keep you
away from physical activities. Always keep your body active! Playing
football, badminton, or any kinds of sports will surely bring you good
health.

Studies have shown volunteering can have lifelong benefits for youth and
help develop skills that will benefit them in life, school, and future career.

helping others can help teens reflect on what they have and become more
empathetic to everyone in their lives.

and donate to non-profit and charity funds when they are older. Moreover,
volunteering can also help teens academically. There is a positive link
between students who earn good grades and those who are involved in
community service. Finally, voluntary work helps teens gain new skills
which are necessary for the job market such as leadership, communication
skills, dependability, time management, and decision making.
