12. My last holiday My last holiday was a five-day trip to Prague in the Czech Republic. I know Prague well because I lived there when I was at university, more than ten years ago.
Instead of staying in a hotel, I stayed with one of my old friends. It was so much fun, and a little bit like my old life. I wanted to do all the same things I did in my university days, so I visited the university. It has changed a lot and looks more modern. I also went to the supermarket near my old house. I loved seeing all the different foods. I was really happy to find my favourite cheese and chocolate biscuits but they were a bit more expensive than I remember!
We did some touristy things too. We walked up beautiful Petrin Hill and around the castle. The views of the city are amazing up there. We walked across the historic Charles Bridge. My friend's flat is very near the TV Tower so we saw the famous baby statues climbing up it. Those things haven't changed, of course.

13. Health is Wealth Good health is very important for very person. Sometimes we get ill, we call a doctor, and he examines us and diagnoses the illness. When we have a headache, a stomach ache, a sore throat, a cold, or a pain in some parts of the body, we call a doctor. He takes our temperature and our pulse. He examines us and tells us what the matter is with us. The doctor prescribes medicine, and gives us a prescription, which we take to the chemist's.
If you follow the doctor's orders, you get better; if you disobey the doctor, you may get worse, and even die. We must obey the doctor, if we want to get better. If we cannot get better at home we must go to hospital.
To be healthy you must eat good food. Good food gives you a lot of energy, vitamins and minerals. The best way to get these is to eat fresh fruit and vegetables five times a day. Have a lot of water. You should have two litres every day. You should eat bread, meat and potatoes, but you shouldn’t eat a lot of sweets or chocolates because they are bad for your teeth. Eggs and milk make your bones strong. And you shouldn’t eat at a different time or eat a lot one day and a little the next.
