Right now, the biggest source of energy (nguồn năng lượng lớn nhất)  in the world is fossil fuel (nhiên liệu hóa thạch) . Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal (dầu, khí ga, và than) . More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned ( khi nhiên liệu hóa thạch bị đốt cháy) , it pollutes the air ( nó gây ô nhiễm không khí). Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth (khi chúng ta khai thác nhiên liệu hóa thạch) , we often cause a lot of damage (gây ra nhiều tác hại). Another problem is that we are running out of it (một vấn đề khác đó là chúng ta đang dần dần bị hết nhiên liệu hóa thạch) . That is why we need new sources of energy. A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power (năng lượng hạt nhân).

Nuclear power has some advantages (có một số thuận lợi) . First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power ( chúng ta không bao giờ hết năng lượng hạt nhân) . Nuclear power does not make the air dirty (không làm ô nhiễm không khí) . However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear accidents are very serious ( tai nạn hạt nhân rất nghiêm trọng) . In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and died.

Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe (không an toàn) . A lot of people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity ( nhiều người muốn quốc gia của họ dùng những cách an toàn và sạch hơn để tạo ra điện) . There have been protests against nuclear energy (có nhiều sự phản đối chống lại năng lượng hạt nhân) in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other countries.

Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future (chúng ta có thể đối mặt với những vấn đề nghiêm trọng trong tương lai) .

Children celebrate the day as well (trẻ con cũng ăn mừng ngày này) with cards of friendship (thiệp tình bạn) and candy.

Couples generally (các cặp đôi thường) celebrate the day with gifts (món quà) and going out to dinner. Traditional gifts (những món quà truyền thống)  include (bao gồm)  cards, flowers, and chocolates. Decorations (trang trí)  for Valentine's Day are generally in red and pink colors and include hearts, Cupid with his arrow (thần tình yêu cupid và mũi tên) , and red roses (hoa hồng đỏ) . Cupid is a popular symbol (biểu tượng phổ biến)  of the holiday because in mythology (trong thần thoại)  his arrow strikes the heart of people (mũi tên của thần bắn vào tim mọi người) and causes them to fall in love (khiến họ yêu nhau).

Fun Facts About Valentine's Day

TINNITUS (CHỨNG Ù TAI)

Tinnitus is when you experience (trải nghiệm, trải qua) ringing or other noises (tiếng ồn) in one or both of your ears. The noise you hear when you have tinnitus isn't caused (được gây ra) by an external sound (âm thanh bên ngoài), and other people usually can't hear it. Tinnitus is a common problem. It affects (ảnh hưởng) about 15% to 20% of people, and is especially common in older adults. (đặc biệt phổ biến với người lớn tuổi)

Tinnitus is usually caused by an underlying condition (những bệnh nền), such as age-related hearing loss (mất thính giác liên quan đến tuổi tác) , an ear injury (chấn thương tai) or a problem with the circulatory system (hệ tuần hoàn). For many people, tinnitus improves with treatment (chữa trị) of the underlying cause (nguyên nhân gốc) or with other treatments that reduce or mask the noise, making tinnitus less noticeable. (làm cho chứng ù tai bớt nghiêm trọng hơn)

Symptoms (dấu hiệu)

Tinnitus is most often described (thường được miêu tả như là) as a ringing (tiếng rung) in the ears, even though no external sound is present (mặc dù không có sự hiện diện của âm thanh bên ngoài). However, tinnitus can also cause other types of phantom noises in your ears, including:

· Buzzing

· Roaring

· Clicking

· Hissing

· Humming

Most people who have tinnitus have subjective tinnitus (chứng ù tai chủ quan) , or tinnitus that only you can hear (chỉ mình bạn mới nghe thấy). The noises of tinnitus (tiếng ồn của chứng ù tai) may vary in pitch (có thể khác nhau ở tần số) from a low roar (từ những âm thanh thấp)  to a high squeal (cho đến những tiếng xéo cao chói tai) , and you may hear it in one or both ears. In some cases (trong một số trường hợp) , the sound can be so loud it interferes (gây cản trở) with your ability to concentrate (khả năng tập trung) or hear external sounds. Tinnitus may be present all the time (chứng ù tai có thể hiện diện mọi lúc) , or it may come and go (hoặc cũng có thể đến tạm thời rồi biến mất).

Why do We Need to Sort Garbage

In the U.S., the average person generates about 7 pounds of trash every day and over a ton of trash every year.   The amount of garbage we generate has tripled since the 1960s but most of that trash doesn’t need to end up in the landfill.  In fact, some estimates show that 75% of trash is actually recyclable but to recycle, we need to sort that garbage.

Landfill

Anything that goes into your garbage can usually ends up in the landfill.  There are more than 3,000 landfills in the U.S. and three times that many that have already filled up.   Landfills are also major producers of methane gas – a greenhouse gas that can be deadly when inhaled and presents a fire hazard or even a potential for explosion.

Food waste

Up to 25% of the food in the U.S. is thrown away, uneaten.  Whether it is due to preparing too much or buying too much, we throw out 21.5 million tons of food every year.  A lot of that food – even if spoiled - is a lot better in the compost pile than it is in the garbage can.  You get great fertilizer and don’t take up space in the landfill.

Carbon footprint

In addition to the methane produced by the landfill, sorting your garbage reduces your carbon footprint by other ways.  Recycling materials like paper, reduces the fuel and electricity needed to harvest, transport and process the wood – paper can be recycled up to 4 times.

Cost

Dealing with trash is costly and many communities spend more on trash processing than they do on fire protection, parks and libraries.  Sorting your garbage helps reduce the amount of trash that needs processing.  It also helps to keep the trash where it belongs so it doesn’t end up as litter.  This can reduce the amount of money your community spends on garbage services and even litter collection.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie is a self-help classic ( cuốn sách tự lực kinh điển) that reads as a life manual (cẩm nang cuộc sống). The core idea (nội dung cốt lõi) is that you can change other people’s behavior (hành vi) simply by changing your own. It teaches you the principles (nguyên tắc) to better understand people, become a more likable person (người dễ mến) , improve relationships, win others over (chiếm cảm tình của người khác) , and influence behavior through leadership.

Six Ways to Make People Like You

Principle 1: Become genuinely interested in other people. (Nguyên tắc 1: Hãy thực sự hứng thú & quan tâm người khác)

If you only try to impress (gây ấn tượng) people and get them interested in you, you won’t have many true friends. Real friends are not made that way.

If you want to make friends, put yourself out to do things for other people – things that require time, energy, unselfishness, and thoughtfulness.

We are interested in others when they are interested in us.

Principle 2: Smile.

Actions speak louder than words (hành động thể hiện hơn lời nói), and a smile says, ‘I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.’

You must have a good time meeting people if you expect them to have a good time meeting you.

Control your thoughts. Happiness depends on inner conditions, not outward ones. It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.

Your smile is a messenger of your goodwill and brightens the lives of all who see it.

Principle 3: Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.

The average person is more interested in his or her own name than in all the other names on earth put together.

A simple technique to memorize names:

1. If you don’t hear the name distinctly, ask the person to repeat it

2. For unusual names, ask for the spelling

3. Repeat the name several times during the conversation

4. Associate the name with the person’s features, expression, and general appearance

Principle 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

To be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener. To be interesting, be interested.

Ask questions that the other person will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and their accomplishments.

Remember people are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems. Think of that the next time you start a conversation.

Principle 5: Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.

There is one all-important law of human conduct: always make the other person feel important.

If we obey that law, we shall almost never get into trouble. In fact, that law, if obeyed, will bring us countless friends and constant happiness. But the very instant we break the law, we shall get into endless trouble.

Advantages of Online Shopping

Shopping online ( Mua sắm online)  has quite a few benefits ( có khá nhiều lợi ích) , especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person shopping is either limited (bị giới hạn) or nearly impossible (gần như không thể)

Purchasing plane tickets (Mua vé máy bay) , groceries (đồ thực phẩm) , household necessities (đồ dùng trong nhà) , or office supplies (đồ dùng văn phòng) has never been more convenient (tiện lợi) than it is right now.

Online stores can also be quite competitive (khá là cạnh tranh) with prices (giá cả)  and products (sản phẩm) , providing shoppers with a wealth of options (nhiều lựa chọn)  that brick-and-mortars (cửa hàng trực tiếp) may not have.

But it can feel overwhelming (khó khăn, choáng ngợp) to compare prices, reviews, and products without having the ability to physically see the items (hàng hóa) .

Aside from being able to shop from the comfort of your home, or anywhere for that matter, there are many advantages of shopping online.

1. · Ability to shop at any time, day or night
2. · No long lines at checkout (không phải đợi xếp hàng dài) 
3. · Packages delivered to your doorstep, without leaving the house (bưu kiện được đưa đến tận cửa)
4. · Reading reviews and comparing products prior to making a purchase (xem review và so sánh sản phẩm trước khi mua)
5. · Receive discount and sale notifications
6. · No-pressure sales. You can decide at any time to abandon (bỏ) your cart  (giỏ hàng) instead of completing the transaction (thay vì hoàn thành giao dịch)

GROUND-NESTING BEES

You think you know what bees are all about: They make honey and live in hives with a queen and sting you sometimes, right? Well, all this is true about some bees, but just like there are lots of different kinds of rodents — big ones and small ones, species that live in trees and underground, species that love to nest together and others that just want to be left alone — Earth is home to approximately 20,000 species of bees, and they're all a little different.

Honey bees live in hives with a queen who's in charge of procreation in the colony. But most bees on the planet aren't honey bees — in fact, there are only a handful of honey bee species in the world. However, every continent has its own native bees, which occupy most spots on the planet, from the Arctic, to deserts, tropical forests, grasslands and most places in between. In North America, there are around 4,000 species, with new species being discovered all the time. Surprisingly, most bees are solitary, meaning that each mother bee provides for her own nest, and about 70 percent of native bees live in the ground.

Ground nesting bees like a variety of different ground types, but most often they nest in dry, hard-packed soil, similar to places where you might see an ant's nest.

A solitary bee nest is a tube about 6 inches (15 centimeters) long, excavated in dry soil by a female bee. There are many challenges that come from nesting in the ground: predators; moisture and flooding; intense heat; nest disturbance by people, vehicles, other large animals.

Because most of us associate bees with a honey bee's propensity to sting, we often try to get rid of bees in our yards and around our houses. However, ground nesting bees aren't dangerous. Many solitary bees are very tiny — smaller than a grain of rice — and therefore too small to sting. If they are able to sting, their venom is too weak to do much damage

PROS AND CONS OF ADVERTISING

Advertising is defined as the paid, non-personal form of communication about products or ideas by an identified sponsor through the mass media so as to inform, persuade or influence the behaviour of the target audience.

Advertising is directed to a large number of people and not to one individual. That is why we call it non-personal. It may inform us about the features of the new iPod or a new smart phone or spell out the need to have a cancer check-up.

Control

Relative to other marketing and communication methods, most specifically public relations, advertising messages are largely in the control of the advertisers. When you pay a medium to place your message, you typically have ultimate control over the position, timing and construct of your ad. This allows your business to develop the right messages, and which media best reach the intended audience.

Flexibility

As noted, you have a number of media options in delivering advertising. Essentially, any communication channel where multiple people congregate is a possibility. Additionally, you can present messages one time, multiple times or tell a long-running story through an ad campaign. This allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of your ads and make ongoing adjustments. You can also choose between long-term, brand messaging which helps you develop an image for your brand, or short-term promotions to attract immediate traffic and sales.

Costs

The most obvious drawback of advertising is the costs. Large companies invest millions of dollars a year in advertising. Television ads are very expensive. Production costs range from $100,000 to $500,000 for national ads, and placement can be as much as $500,000 for a 30-second prime-time spot on national network. Small companies are usually even more limited. Budgets of a few thousand dollars are typical for some small, local companies. This immediately eliminates TV options and leaves companies hunting for inexpensive media such as local newspapers and radio.

Uncertainty

Companies have been increasingly concerned with accountability and return on investment in advertising. This is especially true when they hire ad agencies to develop and deliver campaigns. To succeed, companies often spend even more money in market research.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SPORTS

Sports and competition have been around since ancient times, in fact playing with other members of the community is how people bond, grow, and learn. This is not only present in human culture, but many other mammal species also play with one another, and it’s an important part of their day.  In other words, living beings love to compete, it is in our nature, so sports are just who we are. And here we will explore the main reasons why sports are important in a community.   

Health

Sports are a good form of exercise, and the best part of it is that you don’t have to train for competitive games, it can be just a recreational activity. It’s really important to have some sort of physical activity on a daily basis, regardless of your age, and sports can make that more engaging. If you are playing a sport you like, good exercise just comes with the territory and it’s not perceived as a chore. 

It is also important for mental health. It’s healthy to compete as you grow and to come to terms with concepts like victory and failure. Being competitive can be a good drive for a person, but being overly competitive can be toxic and the sooner one starts to work on those issues the better. 

Economy

Sports events can be pretty big, and some of the competitions attract tourists or spectators from all over the world. Considering how many leagues or different competitions there are right now, it’s safe to say that sports play an important role in the economy of a certain city or state.

Jobs

This one is closely connected to the economy but it’s good to have it as a separate point. The main reason for this is because there are multiple jobs that are affected by the existence of sports competitions. Trainers, players, judges, commentators, food and drink vendors, cleaning crews, construction jobs, and ticket sellers. These are just some of the jobs that are connected to the stadium, but there are others like bookies, sports equipment designers, and manufacturers, clubs that train new players,  even video game designers. The list goes on, which only proves how many people depend on the existence of sports. 

National Unity 

Another thing we must not forget is unity among citizens of a certain state, town, or even municipality. Sports events can remind us of that sense of belonging and that we as a particular community are also a team. If people can come together and collaborate, society can only go forward, and sports help us reinforce that concept. Celebrating victories are rare opportunities that people can come together regardless of opposing political views for example.

Many people want to put their best face (and body) forward, believing that appearance is the key to success in life, love and at work. This realization has led men and women to undergo 17.2 million cosmetic surgery (or plastic surgery) procedures in 2017, up 2% since the previous year. Yet, despite an estimated 132% rise in people going under knife to improve their appearances since 2000, cosmetic surgery remains highly stigmatized and its recipients are often deemed “fake.” So, does cosmetic surgery provide the lift people seek, or is it an industry fed on our most shallow needs?  

Cosmetic surgery can improve confidence levels

One of the biggest advantages of cosmetic surgery is enhancing one’s appearance. For some, modifying a specific physical feature via cosmetic surgery can be a game changer, which improves confidence levels and self-image. The link between positive body image and high self-esteem is well known. People who love the way they look will feel better about themselves and experience an increase in confidence. Improving a person’s physical appearance can be the boost he or she needs to see themselves differently, change the attitudes that govern their lives and feel more accepted by the public.

Cosmetic surgery provides significant health benefits to a suffering population

In some cases, cosmetic surgery can improve a person’s health. A person suffering from regular pain as a result of the extra pressure on her back and shoulders can have a breast reduction. With cosmetic surgery, skin cancer can be removed and open wounds can be closed. Burn victims can begin to heal, and the removal of fat cells through liposuction can drastically reduce the chance of diabetes in at-risk populations.

Cosmetic surgery helps people gain a competitive edge

There is an increasing pressure for men and women to look younger and more attractive to better compete in the working world. The trend of women, as well as a growing number of men, going under the knife in the hopes of looking younger and remaining relevant at work is on the rise. In fact, in a study formulated by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS, 73% believed that appearance and youthful looks are critical for getting hired, a promotion, or new clients. If this is truly the case, then cosmetic surgery is a true competitive advantage.

Whether you’re stuck in a traffic jam or frustrated with a difficult project, impatience is a natural reaction to have when things aren’t going your way. Learning to control and neutralize your impatience will help you become calmer, happier, and more understanding, no matter what frustrating situation you find yourself in!

If you’re in a stressful situation, be alert to thoughts that hint that you might be getting impatient, such as “This is taking forever,” or “This person is being so annoying.” When you pick up on these impatient thoughts, stop and check in with your body to see what you’re feeling, physically. You’ll probably be able to recognize signs of impatience right away, and identifying them can help you start to counteract your frustration

Once you’ve recognized that you’re feeling impatient, it’s time to hunt down the cause. Think past your immediate frustration and ask yourself, “Why am I actually feeling this way?” Some common causes of impatience are:

· Your environment not conforming to your expectations. For example, you might hit unexpected traffic, or a restaurant might be more crowded than you’d thought, making you feel irritated and frustrated.

· Other people not behaving the way you want them to. For instance, you might get impatient that someone in front of you at the grocery store is blocking the whole aisle or chatting with the clerk for too long.

· When you can’t master a new skill fast enough. You might get impatient, for example, if you can’t figure out a new math or computer concept. You may have an unrealistic expectation that you will quickly grasp all new concepts.

· When you can’t control your thoughts. You might get impatient with yourself for not being able to dictate what emotions and thoughts pop up in your mind, even if you recognize there’s not much you can do to stop it.

DEVELOP FLEXIBLE MINDSET

Mentally flexible people have an expansive way of perceiving the world. Similar to physical flexibility, mental or psychological flexibility requires challenging the mind to go beyond its typical range of motion. A flexible mindset can lead to better problem-solving, enhanced creativity and less suffering after setbacks. Develop mental flexibility by overriding your fixed mindset, changing your mental perceptions, and implementing new exercises

STAYING FOCUSED

Staying focused can help you accomplish a variety of professional and personal tasks, from studying for a test to finishing your work an hour early. There are various practical steps you can take to help yourself focus better and to stop checking your Facebook or phone every fifteen minutes. To stay focused on the task ahead of you, make a to-do list and resist the temptation to multi-task.

FINDING JOB ONLINE

The internet is a great resource for job seekers, but it can also be a bit overwhelming if you approach it without a game plan. Your best way to find a job online is to boost your online presence by creating a professional website and/or LinkedIn profile. Look for job listings posted on a variety of websites or forums. When you find a job that appeals to you, act fast and put in a professional application with strong supporting materials.

CONTROL EMOTIONS AT WORK

Work can be a source of stress and anxiety. You may at times feel like crying or yelling. Learn how to control your emotions by gaining some perspective on the situation. Challenge your negative thinking by focusing on the positive. Listen to your body when you feel upset, angry, and out of control. While some things you can’t control at work, focus on the things in your life that you can. When you take care of your mind and your body, you’ll be better able to handle difficult situations at work.

AVOID JUNK FOOD

Junk food like chips, cookies, candy, and snacks can be hard to resist, especially if you are stressed, anxious, or bored. Junk food may make you feel good in the moment, but too much can make it difficult for you to concentrate at work or school, and ultimately leave you feeling tired and irritable. A diet with too many snacks that are sugary, starchy, or high in fat or sodium can lead to serious health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. To stay away from junk food, adjust your diet and your daily habits. Look for outside support to help you stick to your lifestyle change.

LIFE PARTNER

Finding someone to date is challenging enough. Finding a person you can be happy with for the rest of your life can feel impossible. Take your time, spend time with your friends, and take care of yourself. Date, but date calmly. Commit, but commit carefully. Love can’t be rushed.

STAYING FIT

It is important to remain healthy and active throughout life, especially as you age. Staying fit can add years to your lifespan and will improve your overall well-being. Staying fit can seem like a daunting task, but it is really quite simple if you stick to the basics. It takes about two months for a behavior to become a habit. Try making a few changes that you think you will be able to manage, and then stick to them for a couple of months until they become part of your natural routine.

NEW HAIRSTYLE

A different hairstyle or color can change a person’s entire look. It can make a person look better or worse. Christine is about to enter her first day of college. She wants a new look. Her current hairstyle is nice, but it is boring. Her hair right now is straight, long, and blonde. She will go into the hair salon for a new hairstyle.

SAVING MONEY

As you get older there seems to be more and more things that you want, but not enough money to get them. It could be a new cell phone or video game, some cute clothes or new makeup, or even some extra cash for a movie or date. When you are struggling to afford all the things you want, it might be time to take matters into your own hands and start saving up some money!

HOW TO LIE

Lying can be complicated and difficult, especially if you don’t do it very often. Beginner liars must learn a few basics about what makes a good lie, such as sticking with a simple lie and making sure the lie is believable. If you plan the lie ahead of time, it helps to spend some time memorizing the details of the lie by writing it down and practicing it until it sounds convincing. Possibly the most important part is telling the lie convincingly. You’ll need to avoid some of the most common things that give away a lie, such as fidgeting, changing your voice, and not making eye contact.

STARTING BUSINESS

Starting a small business is an immense challenge that requires courage, determination, invention, and motivation. Many teenagers have great ideas and are highly motivated, but simply don’t know where to begin when it comes to starting their own business. With some time, research and a little help from others, it is possible for any teenagers to turn their great ideas into a successful business.

BIG DREAM

Many famous people that we know quit college to follow their dreams. Tom is majoring in communication studies. He is doing well in college, but he has a bigger dream. He wants to create a clothing line. He has been designing clothes for a long time. He wants his clothing line to be high quality, but affordable. He told his parents that he wanted to quit college. Her parents were not very happy about it.

FEELING CONFIDENT

You might have already read and learned how to be confident, but what if you still don’t feel all that confident? Sometimes it takes your emotions a little bit of time to catch up with your behaviors, but you can help to move the process along. Perhaps all you really need is some working out and dressing up to feel better, or maybe you can start with thinking positively and smiling more often. In any case, feeling confident is definitely a continuous process that, when achieved, will improve your quality of life immensely.

Water

Water is an essential part of our body. Water makes up 70% of our body. Doctors advise us to drink at least 2 liters of water a day. If you don’t drink enough water, you will be dehydrated. There are many ways to get water. The easiest way is to drink water directly. You can also get water from fruit and vegetables.

Teamwork

Do you often work in a team? Are you a team player? If you are a team player, you work well with other people in the team. When people in a team work well with each other, they can achieve the goals. Team members should be reliable and committed. They should also be responsible for what they do. People in the team need to be able to communicate effectively with each other. Happy team members will make a big difference.

Success

Everyone wants to be successful. Everyone wants to achieve their goals. But, success does not come easy. If you want to be successful, you need to make a lot of efforts. You need to work very hard and you need to believe in what you are doing. Before you reach success, you will probably experience some failures. You should know that people learn from their failures. Failures give you the lessons you need and the experience you lack. Don’t worry if you are not successful today. Work hard and you will be successful tomorrow.

Places in city

The city I’m living is very interesting. There are so many places in my city. If I want to read books, I can go the public library and borrow good books. If I feel like eating out, I can go great restaurants downtown. My wife loves shopping and she can always buy fancy clothes at shopping mall. My children can learn history by visiting museums in the city. My children love the zoo as well because they can see a lot animals. My friend is a painter and he sometimes takes me to the art gallery to enjoy nice pictures. I love my city because there are so many interesting places.

There are a lot of shops, museums and banks in Paris. People often visit Eiffel Tower when they travel to Paris. The people in Paris are very friendly and they always welcome people around the world.

Neighbors

Do you have neighbors? Are your neighbors nice and helpful? My neighbors are very kind. They often come over my house and share foods with my family. At weekends, we gather together and enjoy our barbecues. If my car is broken, my neighbors are happy to give me a ride to work in the morning. My neighbors never play loud music in the evenings. Sometimes their dogs bark at mid-night, but I don’t think it is a big problem. I love my neighbors.

My friend

My friend is Jessica. She’s my best friend, and she’s also my sister! She’s fantastic, and she’s single. OK, what can I tell you about Jessica? Well, she’s 31 years old and she lives in London. She’s a nurse, and she works at night, so she doesn’t have a lot of time to meet new people. She likes eating out, cooking, reading, listening to Pop music. She loves football, it’s her favorite sport. She doesn’t like shopping or loud music. She doesn’t smoke.

Hospital

Hospital is a scary place. People are often afraid of going to hospitals. People only visit hospitals when they are sick, or someone they know has health problems. Some people cannot stand the smell in hospitals. I have been to the hospital once. 2 years ago I had a terrible headache. And my sister took me to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor was very enthusiastic and carefully checked my head. 2 days after, my head was OK and I got back to normal. I hope I will never have to visit hospital again.
