3– Choose a title for each text among the following:

A- At the restaurant. B- A balanced diet. C- Eating habits. D. table manners E. Fast Food

Text 1: Most children love eating fast food .This includes food such as
burgers, pizzas, hotdogs and fish and chips. Although such food is tasty, but it
does not provide us with enough vitamins ,nutrients and the calories that our
bodies need .This food is not healthy as it usually contains a lot of fat .Eating
fast food often results in weight again . Most children often eat hamburgers
topped with a lot of mayonnaise , chips and soda.

Title :…………………………………………..
Text 2: In order to stay healthy, it is important to have a balanced diet– in
other words, food that contains something from each of the five main groups of
food. These groups are protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals and
starchy food.
Protein is very important for building our body. It helps us to build new cells as
old ones die. Meat and dairy products are major sources of protein, but not the
only one– we can also get protein from fish , eggs and beans.
Carbohydrates and fat are important to enable us to store energy-they provide fuel for the body. Carbohydrates are found in sugar..
Our body also needs minerals, such as iron and calcium and vitamins. Fish, vegetables and milk contain most of the minerals we need. Vitamins are found in fresh
vegetables and fruits.

Title :…………………………………………..
Go back to the front page and say which food you like.
