dog named Tiger. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink,

say unkind words to you any more.” Tiger waved its tail happily.
After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and

五、回答问题
It’s very important for us to have a healthy eating habit.
A good eating habit makes you healthy and strong.
But what is my eating habit?
I like to eat noodles, rice, bread, eggs and milk every day.
I usually have them for breakfast because they give me
heat(热量). There are a lot of vitamins(维他命) in vegetables
and fruit. So I have vegetables eight to eleven times a week. I
usually have vegetables for lunch and dinner. I eat fruit seven
to nine times a week. I often eat fruit after dinner. A famous
saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Meat is
healthy, but too much
meat is not good for our health. So I don’t eat too much fish
and meat. I only have fish and meat three to four times a
week. I never eat junk food. It’s bad for my health. And the
most important eating habit is to eat less for the supper
because before sleeping, eating too much is bad for our
health.
Let’s have a healthy eating habit to keep ourselves
