UNIT 9

Unit 9, Section 1, Listening

M1: Hi. Welcome to The Josh Jackson Podcast.

We all have very busy lives. And it’s hard to always eat right and exercise. So
today, I want to talk about some very simple things I do to stay healthy.

First, I usually go to bed at 10 P.M. every night. And I get up at 6 A.M. every
morning. Sleep is very important. I like to listen to classical music at night. It
helps me sleep.

Second, I try to eat healthy food. That means lots of fruits and vegetables. And I
always eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I know everyone is busy in the morning,
but breakfast is very important. I often eat a sandwich or salad for lunch. And I
usually cook chicken or meat for dinner.

9
 Third, I exercise. I run for thirty minutes every morning. I play tennis two times a
week. I often play tennis with friends. It’s fun and good for my body.

Fourth, I do things to relax. I always relax on the weekend. I like to play the
piano. I like to take pictures. I sometimes hike with my friends. I relax on the
weekend and I have more energy on Monday.

Try one or two of these things this week. Have a great day today and stay
healthy everyone!

someone.

F1: Welcome to Julia’s Hour—my podcast. Today, we’re talking about stress. Many
people always work and rarely relax. Are you working too much? Do you need to
relax more? Here are some tips to help you relax and live healthy.

First, you need to sleep eight hours every night. I know you’re very busy. I know
you don’t want to hear this. But you need to give your body rest. Turn off the TV,
log off your computer and tablet, and go to bed. Also, try to get up and go to bed
at the same time every day. Try this for one week. Your body will feel good!

Second, eat healthy food and eat every meal. I always eat breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. Many people never eat breakfast. They don’t have time in the morning.
But breakfast is a very important meal.

Third, exercise three times a week. You don’t need to exercise every day. Run in
the morning before you leave the house. Go swimming, play basketball, or do
martial arts. There are fun ways to exercise. I always bike with my friends. It’s
fun and good for my body and I enjoy it!

Fourth, don’t work in the evening or on the weekend. Do something fun. Go to

the movies with your friends. Listen to music. Play video games. Healthy people
rarely think about work after work. They relax.

The last tip? Listen to Julia’s Hour every day. I hope these tips help you. Thanks
for listening!
