Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.
Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If
you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of
water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food.
Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you
don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You
will be smarter after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks(小吃，点心) like fruits, yogurt(酸奶) or cheese(乳酪).
We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks
between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead
of a meal.
Don’t eat dinne r late. With our busy life, we always put off(推迟) eating
dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go
to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you

In Augus t 2015, my husband（丈夫） and I visited London with our two sons Sam and Eric. They were 12 and 10 years old at that time.
We spent four days visiting some interesting places there.
The last day, I wanted to relax at the hotel. But the children
didn’t like that. So I carefully thought about how we would
spend the last day.
I read a passage about HMS Belfast（贝尔法斯特号战舰）in a magazine. In fact, I don’t like visiting a warship(战舰). I only thought that Sam would enjoy visiting it and his dad might like it, too.

of the ticket for an adult（成人） was £14. The warship was very large. We took some photos there. Sam was interested in everything on it. He told me it was the most interesting place in London.
