Healthy lifestyles
Sleep
We all know that sleeping well is good for us, but sometimes it can be
difficult. Here are some suggestions to help you get a better night's
sleep:
1. Try to sleep at regular times. If you have a sleep routine, it really
helps.
2. Find a quiet place and take a 15 minute nap if you feel tired during
the day.
3. When you go to bed, make sure your room is quiet, cool, and dark.
It's the best way to get a good night's sleep.
Remember that everyone has sleep problems at some time. Don't get
stressed if you can't sleep for one or two nights. But if you don't sleep
well for a long time, go and see your doctor.

It depends.
Are you going to celebrate your birthday with a party and everything?
It depends. If the weather's nice, I think we're going to take some burgers and
hot dogs and things and have a barbecue in the park.
What do you want to do this weekend?
I don't know. I have a lot of work to do this weekend, so I can't go out. I think
I'm going to stay home and work.
Are you going to send your mother some flowers on her birthday?
Maybe. I'm not sure I'm going to have enough money for flowers this year.
Do you want to go see the fireworks tonight?
I'm not sure. It's going to be very cold tonight, and I'm not really into fireworks.
