同學們，有規(guī)律的、健康的生活方式能讓我們健康、快樂地成長！你能用英語描述一日三餐、運動等生活方式嗎？你能給他人提出健康生活的建議嗎？假設(shè)你是Andy，下面是你微信朋友圈里的好友Doraemon 發(fā)表的內(nèi)容。請你在閱讀完后寫一段評論，并就健康飲食、運動鍛煉等方面給他提幾點建議。

My dear friends,I am a little sad these days.My best friend says I am too fat.He says I look like a duck when I run.I am 1.55 metres tall.And my weight is 58kg.Am I really too fat?How can I look better?

Can you help me,my dear friends?

原文呈現(xiàn)

Don’t worry,Doraemon.I think you’re really a little fat.You should control your weight.Fat can bring disease.

此處可以用連接詞將兩個簡單句合并為一個復(fù)合句，使文章更緊湊。句末可再加一個段落中心句來引領(lǐng)下文。

First,vegetables and fruits are important.You must eat more vegetables and fruits and less meat if you want to lose weight.

Second,breakfast is the most important meal for us.We should have some bread,milk and an egg for breakfast.But we should eat less at supper.

第二條建議與減肥關(guān)系不夠緊密。

At last,you can do some exercise every day.You can go running in the morning.If you keep doing them,you’ll be thinner and thinner.

建議用更豐富的詞匯和句式來表達對好友健康生活方式的建議。

I hope you can lose weight successfully and be healthier.

作為朋友，語氣可以更親切些。從所給語段中可以看出朋友是焦慮的，結(jié)尾可增加表示安慰和鼓勵的話語來體現(xiàn)友誼。

升格展示

Don’t worry,Doraemon.I think you’re really a little fat.You should control your weight because fat can bring disease.Here are several ways for you to lose weight and look better.

First of all,vegetables and fruits are important.You must eat more vegetables and fruits and less meat if you want to lose weight.

Second,sweets and drinks should be avoided.For example,we had better drink water instead of drinks like cola when we are thirsty.

At last,you can do some exercise every day.Why not go running in the morning? If you keep doing it,you’ll be thinner and thinner.What’s more,playing basketball can help you grow taller.

In a word,it’s better to change your lifestyle.I think you will keep fit if you do so.Remember that where there is a will,there is a way.
