BEING 13 (2)

Hello. My name is Joana. I’m thirteen years old. I live in Portugal. I have got pocket money. My mother gives me ten Euros every two weeks. I spend the money in clothes and woman’s accessories. My favourite hobbies are listening to music, surfing the Internet and camping. I like listening to soothing music, I also like rock music. I like being 13 because it is good and I don’t have many responsibilities, but it can also be boring because my parents treat me like a child. I like to be Portuguese.

EATING HABITS

Teenagers like eating pizza, hamburgers, chips, cakes and sweets and drinking Coca-Cola.
Teenagers should eat more fruit and vegetables.
They should choose low-fat or non-fat milk, cheese and yogurt.
They should consider a salad with grilled chicken and fat- free or low- fat dressing.
They should not eat in front of the TV or in other situations out of habit.
Healthy eating habits are important.
Catarina Ferreira, Class A, Year 9

My parents eat a healthy and balanced diet. They eat foods that have fibre, nutrients and vitamins. They eat fruits, vegetables, salads and drink alcoholic drinks or wine in moderation.
I advise them to eat a balanced diet, to eat foods rich in minerals, vitamins and fibre and to eat foods that reduce our risk of diseases.
In conclusion, they should read the labels and start eating better.
