Do you watch TV or play video games
during your free time? Do you eat

potato. Here are some valuable tips to
change your couch potato habits and
become a healthy teen.
ñ Exercise is wise. It helps you look and feel happy.
When you have some free time, go cycling or play
basketball with your friends. It is lots of fun and you get
plenty of exercise too!
ñ Your favorite series is on and you feel hungry. Get a bowl of different fruit
with a glass of juice instead of cookies and sodas. They are delicious and
don’t contain fat. They are tasty, too.
It is hard to change your habits, but don’t give up. When you don’t feel
like going out, turn on the radio, find your favorite tune, and start
dancing. It’s fun! Get off that couch and start your healthy life today!

desert, clothing, belt, tool, weapon

Dating back more than 40,000 years ago, the Australian Aborigines
were nomadic people that used to hunt and gather food by traveling the land.

Religion
Aborigines respected nature because it gave them food to
eat and a place to live. They worshipped certain places in nature.
One such sacred spot is the Uluru, which is a large, red, sandstone
rock formation. Aboriginal people of today still respect it.
Houses
Australian Aborigines moved around a lot. For this
reason, they built simple, small houses from
branches and leaves.
Food
Australian Aborigines used to eat kangaroos,
wallabies, fish, and reptiles. They also gathered a
lot of berries and plants. Today, many Aborigines
who live in the deserts eat the same things.
Music
Music was an important part of
Aboriginal life. They used to play
different wooden instruments like
the ‘didgeridoo’. Today, Aboriginal
music of Australia mixes traditional
sounds with modern instruments to
create new styles like Aboriginals
Rock music.
Clothes
Australian Aborigines didn’t wear
much clothing. They used to wear
belts to carry tools and weapons.
In cold weather they wore thick
capes made of animal skins.

 2.8 Changing Fashion
Fashion is fun, but fashion is
also an important part of
people’s lives. People often use
fashion to say something about
how they think or feel about life.
how a person dresses often defines
who a person is.

Music changed fashion in the 60s more than any other decade. In the early 60s, people
dressed in trendy clothes. Men used to wear short-sleeved shirts and loose pants; women, A- A
line dresses. With The Beatles came collarless jackets and tight pants. Then hippies wore bell-
bottom pants (pants which are very wide at the bottom), bright colors, and headbands.

One word sums up music and fashion in the 1970s: ABBA. They were famous for
their music and their very colorful outfits. Girls wore mini-skirts and boots. For the men, it
was tight tops and bell-bottoms. Platform shoes became very popular. Disco fans used
to wear three-piece suits and shirts with long collars.

4 John is wearing a three-piece suit,

5 Lyn is wearing a mini dress with

In the 1980s, glamorous musicians like David Bowie and Duran Duran
inspired fashion designers. Men used to wear frilly shirts, velvet jackets
with gold buttons, and baggy pants. Women used to wear leggings,
long, thick socks called leg warmers, sweatshirts, and ripped jeans.

Kuneva, an international commissioner. This means that
new MP3 players could be quieter in the future. For now,
listening to your MP3 players at a lower volume and for
no more than an hour each day should protect your

85 decibels is really not very good for your ears and is
almost as loud as an electric drill!
