Dear Jillian,
Here are some solutions that may solve your problem.
1. You should move more. You should walk or cycle instead
of taking bus to school. If you want to take a bus, why not
get off one stop early and walk a bit longer. During recess
time, you should walk within the school area.
2. You should have a schedule for exercise. Consider
participating evening classes like yoga, martial or dancing
class. Alternatively, you can ask your parents to buy
exercise equipment, for example, rowing machine or and
exercise bike so you can read your books while exercising.
Hopes this helps. Most importantly, you should exercise
regularly.

1.Dear
(Answers
Jillian, are underlined and highlighted in yellow)
Here are some solutions that may solve your problem.
1. You should move more. You should walk or cycle instead of taking bus
to school. If you want to take a bus, why not get off one stop early and walk
a bit longer. During recess time, you should walk within the school area.
2. You should spare 1 hour for exercise. Consider joining evening classes
like yoga, martial or dancing class. Alternatively, you can ask your parents
to buy exercise equipment, for example, rowing machine or and exercise
bike so you can read your books while exercising.
Hopes this helps. Most importantly, you should exercise regularly. Good
luck!
Suggested solutions:
badminton
You should exercise at least 3 times a week
Instead of taking the bus, you could walk by foot
Unit 4: Health
Section 4: Healthy Sleep (page 14-18)

new for the class, T writes students responses on the board.
T assigns each student to read one email. E.g number1 in all groups reads
email
Each student should tell the group main ideas of that email.
Ask a student for each email to present the problem to whole class

problem (let him/her to tell how he/she feel about? And what ways he/she
are trying to follow to stop the problem.
