Hi， dear boys and girls！ Do you know how to be a healthy kid？ Here are some rules you should follow.

First， eat different foods， especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favourite food， but you’d better eat something different， if you eat different foods， you will probably get more nutrients （營養物質） your body needs.

Second， drink water and milk as often as possible. When you’re really thirsty， cold water is the No.l choice （選擇）. Milk is a great drink that can give you more calcium （鈣） your body needs to grow strong bones（骨頭）.

Third， listen to your body. How do you feel when you are full？ When you are eating， notice how your body feels and when your stomach（胃） feels comfortably full. Eating too much will not make you feel comfortable and make you fat.

Fourth， limit screen time. Screen time is the time you watch TV， DVDs and videos， or using computers. It is good to take more exercise such as basketball， bike riding and swimming. You can’t watch TV for more than two hours a day.

Fifth， be active. One thing you’d like to do as a kid is to find out which activity you like best. Find ways to be active every day.

Some birthday customs are quite similar in many parts of the world---- birthday candles（蠟燭）， birthday games，and birthday cakes. But some customs are more specific to certain countries. Here are some children talking about their customs.

I am Linda. I am fourteen. I come from Aruba. In our country， Children take something special to school for their classmates and all teachers. Each teacher gives the birthday child a small gift like a pencil， an eraser or a postcard. The birthday child is also allowed to wear special clothes instead of the school uniform.

I am Lucy. I am one year older than Linda. Denmark is my country. A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the child’s bed while they are sleeping so they will see them at once when they wake up.

I am Tom. I am as old as Linda. I am from Brazil. The birthday child

receives a pull on the earlobe（耳垂） for each year in my country. The birthday person also gives the first slice of cake to his/her most special friend or relative， usually mom or dad.
