Write a paragraph of 100-150 words to answer the following question: “What can you do to keep your organs healthy?”
Gợi ý: Sun up to sun down, your body’s organs are working together to keep you healthy. By making efforts to improve the health of one organ, you are simultaneously improving your overall health. So “What can you do to keep your organs healthy?”. First of all, stay hydrated. Water helps kidneys remove waste from blood, so it’s always a good idea to stay hydrated by drinking at least four to six glasses per day. Second, eat a balanced diet. Natural sources of sugar such as fresh fruit are easier than refined sugars for your body to metabolize without overwhelming your organs. In addition, limiting high fructose corn syrup (soft drinks, baked goods, sweets) and foods with saturated fat and refined carbohydrates (white bread, white rice and pasta) will keep your body healthy and functioning properly. Additionally, too much salt can cause high blood pressure, which is a risk factor for heart and kidney problems. Last but not least, exercise consistently. Physical activity helps to decrease blood pressure and cholesterol levels, increase muscle strength, improve sleep, and control overall body weight.
Dịch: Mặt trời mọc rồi lại lặn, các cơ quan trong cơ thể bạn đang làm việc cùng nhau để giữ cho bạn khỏe mạnh. Bằng cách nỗ lực cải thiện sức khỏe của một cơ quan, bạn đồng thời cải thiện sức khỏe tổng thể của mình. Vậy “Bạn có thể làm gì để giữ cho các cơ quan của mình khỏe mạnh?”. Trước hết, giữ nước. Nước giúp thận loại bỏ chất thải ra khỏi máu, vì vậy luôn luôn nên giữ đủ nước bằng cách uống ít nhất bốn đến sáu ly mỗi ngày. Thứ hai, ăn một chế độ ăn uống cân bằng. Các nguồn đường tự nhiên như trái cây tươi dễ dàng hơn đường tinh chế để cơ thể bạn chuyển hóa mà không làm quá tải các cơ quan của bạn. Ngoài ra, hạn chế xi-rô có hàm lượng đường fructose cao (nước ngọt, đồ nướng, kẹo) và thực phẩm có chất béo bão hòa và carbohydrate tinh chế (bánh mì trắng, gạo trắng và mì ống) sẽ giúp cơ thể bạn khỏe mạnh và hoạt động bình thường. Ngoài ra, quá nhiều muối có thể gây ra huyết áp cao, đây là một yếu tố nguy cơ gây ra các vấn đề về tim và thận. Cuối cùng nhưng không kém phần quan trọng, hãy tập thể dục thường xuyên. Hoạt động thể chất giúp giảm huyết áp và mức cholesterol, tăng sức mạnh cơ bắp, cải thiện giấc ngủ và kiểm soát trọng lượng cơ thể nói chung.

Growing up in the early 2000s, a period when technology began to enter our lives, I remembered my childhood in two distinct parts. In elementary school, my friends and I spent our free time after school playing outside. We would go to different street vendors to eat junk food and buy cheap toys. Sometimes, we would watch cartoons together. But there were few channels back then; we didn’t spend too much time in front of the TV. Everything gradually changed when I started secondary school. Internet had become more popular so I began spending more time at Internet cafe. I would play games online and chat with my friends. Cable channel was also on the rise at the time. There were channels airing cartoons all day, every day. Watching TV became a routine for many kids my age. At the time, I didn’t give much thought about the changes. Now, I realize that I miss those old days hanging out with my friends, eating junk food and sharing toys.
