1.         Read the following passage and answer the following questions.

Hair

We must take proper care of our hair. Healthy hair looks beautiful and makes us feel good. It is important to keep our hair clean by washing it regularly with soap or shampoo. This removes the dirt and dust and prevents scalp infections. To have healthy hair, we must eat a balanced diet which provides nourishment to our skin. We should eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits and cereals. Consumption of amla juice, ashgourd juice, pumpkin and coconut water enhances hair growth. Vitamin B12 helps to prevent hair loss and can be found in fish, eggs, chicken and milk. We should avoid the intake of maida (fine flour) and deep-fried dishes, sweets made of white sugar, soft drinks, tea and coffee. If we follow a healthy regime of yoga and breathing exercises, we can enjoy healthy hair for a long time as it slows down the process of graying and ageing.

Dear Padma,

How are you? I am busy as bee these days. Lots of homework.  But a little exercise each day helps me keep fit. I'm usually very tired after sitting at the desk for hours.  I go jogging in the park every morning. Today, even after half an hour run, I feel energized.

Dinesh has joined the school sports club this year. He wants to set a school record in swimming and running, and he is training hard for that. Training everyday has worked wonders for his stamina. Dinesh's parents want him to participate in sports competitions. They are really very proud of his wonderful achievements.

Now we've got a new PE teacher at school. He's going to start a badminton club, which sounds like fun. So, I'll try that though I can hardly imagine when I'll find time.

What sports do you play, Padma? Would you like to join any sports club?

Write me soon.

 

Best wishes,

Anita
