afternoon for the "Grand Buffet Tea", which fora fixed price allows you to eat as many cream cakes and
gateaux as your greed will allow while waitresses serve you with India or China tea. If you feel like a drink
you can choose between the pub atmosphere of the Green Man Tavern and the sophistication of the Cocktail
Lounge. Harrods truly is a different world.

Correct Eating Habits
"Eat to live. Do not live to eat" is an old saying the truth of which a person realises only when he or she
suffers from some serious ailment like a heart condition and is advised by his or her physician to cut down
on his or her food. All schools of medicine lay emphasis on correct eating habits for a healthy life.
Remember that after you have had a hearty meal, the pressure on your heart is increased. The amount of
food should be such that the hunger is assuaged, but there is no feeling of fullness.
The second golden rule is to avoid fats and too much starch and carbohydrates derived from sugar. In
communities where sugar intake is low, there is very little incidence of heart disease.
The third rule is that stimulants like spices (chillies etc.) should be avoided. A bland diet with a little salt
and a pinch of pepper may not taste as good as highly spiced food would, but it would be safer in the long
run.
Kids with high cholesterol need an exotic diet. Mostly, they should stick to the guidelines that apply to all
adults. Officially, the American Heart Association recommends that kids get no more than 30 percent of
their calories from fat. That means (1) Limiting fast-food runs to once or twice a week. Otherwise, push the
salads and leave out the jumbo fries, high-fat sauces, and everything-but-the-kitchen-sink burgers; (2)
Sticking to lower-fat pizza toppings like mushrooms, ground beef, veggies, and plain cheese; (3) Choosing
peanut butter, lean meat or skinless chicken or turkey for lunchtime; put limits on high-fat items like hot
dogs, luncheon meats, and deep-fried anything; (4) Serving more complex carbohydrates
like fruits,
vegetables, and whole-grain products. Kids may not always eat them, but at least they'll recognise them on
sight.
Fortunately, lots of foods that kids like are also good for them. Most breakfast cereals are low in fat, for
instance, as are pasta, lean meats, bread, tuna, skinless chicken, and fruit.
1. Discuss correct eating habits for grown-ups and children dwelling on:
1. the amount of food a person should eat;
2. the consumption of fats, starch and carbohydrates;
3. the use of stimulants;
4. going to fast-food places.
COLLEGE LIFE

Classroom Notetaking
How would you feel if you were forced to spend hours and hours sitting in a hard-backed chair, eyes wide
open, listening to the sound of someone else's voice? You wouldn't be allowed to sleep, eat, or smoke. You
couldn't leave the room. To make matters worse, you'd be expected to remember every point the speaker
made, and you'd be punished for foigetting. And, to top it off, you'd have to pay thousands of dollars for the
experience.
Sounds like the torture scene from the latest spy thriller? Actually, it's nothing of the kind. It's what all
college students do who take a full load of courses.
Unfortunately, many students do regard these hours as torture, and they do all sorts of things to deaden
the pain. Some of them sit through class with glared eyes, minds wandering somewhere. Others hide in the
back of the room, sneaking glances at the newspaper or the book. Still others reduce the pain to zero: they
simply don't come to class. These students do not realize that they are missing out on one of the most
important aspects of their education.
One reason you should take lecture notes is that lectures add to what you read in textbooks. Lecturers
combine the material and approaches of many texts, saving you the trouble of researching an entire field.
They keep up to date with their subjects and can include
the latest studies or discoveries in their
presentations. The best lecturers combine knowledge with expert showmanship. Both informative and
entertaining speakers, they can make any subject leap wildly to life.
