UNIT 05 Keeping well TOPIC 05 Are you fit?
Listening LISTENING 01 You work too hard!
Julia and her cousin Rachel are having coffee in a cafe.
Rachel:
I need a cup of coffee. I'm really tired.
Julia:
Did you have a late night?
Rachel: Every night is a late night. I have a lot of work to do.
Julia: Rachel, you work too hard. You should relax more.
Rachel: I know. But I have to work hard in my job.
Julia: Your job's important, but so is your health.
Rachel: You're right. I'm tired all the time.
Julia: Are you eating well?
Rachel: Not really. I don't have time for breakfast. I have a cup of coffee and a cigarette when I get up, then more coffee and cigarettes when I get to work.
Julia: Oh Rachel, smoking cigarettes and drinking too much coffee - that's bad for you.
Rachel: I know. I should drink water not coffee, and I should stop smoking.
Julia: And you should eat a healthy breakfast. Now, what do you have for lunch?
Rachel: I usually have a healthy lunch, a salad sandwich and fruit. At night, I'm often too tired to cook dinner. Buying a hamburger is much easier.
Julia: Lunch sounds OK. Eating junk food for dinner is not good. You really should eat three healthy meals a day.
Rachel: I know. I should eat better. OK, no coffee for me, Julia. I'll have a fruit juice.
