Question 9

From: Aisyah   To: Jun Hao   Subject: My new healthy habits

Hi Jun Hao,

How are you? You asked me why I look so well these days. My mum says I must eat better because I was always tired after school. So now I have a big breakfast every morning: an egg, a slice of bread and some fruit. At lunchtime I don't buy crisps or sweets any more. I take rice, vegetables and a piece of chicken from home. I drink a lot of water, but I have only one glass of juice a day because there is a lot of sugar in it. On Saturday mornings I go cycling with my dad. Now I'm not tired in the afternoon, and I really like my new routine!

Write soon,
Aisyah
