How to Boost Your Immune System


Many students are not taking proper care of their health. They tend to forget about
their health while coping with things such as lessons, extra-curricular activities and social events.
Hence, we should take steps to boost our immune system.
It is a fact that a good immune system helps build strong resistance against
diseases. In order to boost our immunity, we should get sufficient sleep. Ideally, we should sleep
for six to eight hours daily. A lack of sleep may cause us to feel tired easily.
Secondly, we must drink eight glasses of water daily. This helps to flush out
toxins from our bodies. It is best to avoid coffee, tea and carbonated drinks.
Thirdly, we should practise good eating habits. Eat more fruits and leafy
vegetables. Avoid taking processed food. Good personal hygiene can boost our immune system.
Wash your hands after visiting restrooms and before and after meals to kill germs.
Doing regular exercise is equally important. It is a fact that exercise strengthens
our bones, muscles and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. Taking a daily dose of multivitamins
will enable us to build strong resistance against infections.
Life is a precious gift. We have to take the right steps to keep ourselves healthy.
After all, prevention is better than cure.

Why My Mother Is My Best Friend

Many of my friends have best friends around our age, mostly teens. For me, my
mother is my best friend. Here are some reasons why my mother is the best kind of friend to
have.
I am a competitive swimmer. This means that I train long hours. From Monday
to Friday, my training begins at 5.30 a.m. and continues after school. During the weekends, my
training hours are longer. Throughtout my training, my mother drives me around tirelessly
without any complaints. She always spends time talking with me when we travel. We talk about
school, food, fashion and hobbies like any other best friends would.
I rely on my coach for guidance and performance in sport. However, it is my
mothe who takes care of my body and mental needs. She keeps me healthy by making sure I
have a healthy diet. Sometimes, she gives me a special treat to food that I like even when my
coach disagrees. She says a happy mind makes the body do wonderful things. I feel she really
knows me better than I do myself.
When I suffer pain from my training, the only person I can talk to is my mother.
I do not feel shy telling her about the pain I get from training. She never looks down on me or
says that I need to toughen up. Instead, she will check the pain to make sure it is not serious.
Then she will teach me how to manage it.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. My mother has been more than just a friend
in need as she is always there for me. I am very grateful to her for all the love and attention that
she has given me.

Dear Salim,

How have you been? Glad to hear that you had a wonderful holiday in Terengganu. As
promised I will tell you about my trip to Taman Negara with my family.
My family went to Taman Negara on a tour package. __35________. From there, a bus
took us to the Kuala Tembeling wooden jetty. ___36_______. My father was making funny
faces throughout the boat ride due to the constant rocking of the boat. Once we arrived at Taan
Negara resort, we had a rest before going for dinner at the Tahan Restaurant.
___37_______ . Later we went for a jungle night walk experience. As we walked we
could hear all the jungle sounds.
The next day, we went jungle trekking to Bukit Teresek. We also went on some canopy
walks while we were there. I truly enjoyed myself there. It was really amazing to see the forest
from the top of trees. ___38_______ . After lunch, we proceeded to take a boat trip to Lata
Berkoh cascades for a refreshing swim. ___39______ . We swam in the river and also had the
opportunity to fish in the designated fishing areas. My dad was able to catch several large fishes
which we cooked on site. It felt really rewarding to eat fish that we had caught for ourselves.
We left for home the next day. ____40________. We can’t wait to go back there again.
Hope to hear from you soon.
