Health Expo
TAFE wanna use the money that we earned from the Health Expo to give to the handicapped Olympic Games.
The interesting thing was that they asked AMEP students to cook healthy traditional food and bring it on the day. Then they will sell the food that the students bring and the money earned form the health Expo will donate to the disabled.On the day, the AMEP studenthe had to be sellers, and the food were sold to all that come to buy. AMEP has four classes and we were one of them, and we had the opportunity of selling food.
The Health Expo was started at 10:30 and finished at 1:30 on Wednesday.
It was so crowded. The tables were set up outside the canteen and there were some staff stood behind these tables to provide the info of health to the students. Inside the canteen, people were busy buying food.
At 12:30, it was our turn to be seller. The Expo will end in 1 hour time. So our class was the last shift.
We just put on the staff T-shirt and started. The food were displayed on the tables and they showed the name and the prices of each food, all of them looked so yummy!
We just stood behind the tables and waited our customers. A Chinese lady stood in front of me and looked at the prices of the Chinese food. Then she said:" They are so expensive, not many people will buy them!" " Yes, It's a little bit expensive" I said, "but they all look delicious, I think many people want to try them."
Later on, one guy came to buy Chinese rice. Cause the spoons were so small, it need long time to ladle the food. My friend was so cute ,she served up the food and poured rice into the dish. It was the end of the Expo, so we give him more rice. Then he said:" Oh, dear! It's too much!”At last, All of the food were half price but we can eat them for free. So we ate them as we were selling them. So yummy! Soon, all of the food were finished. At last, we had a competition. Our classmate Nancy was so lucky to win the prize.

Spain's New Ban
Spain issue a new ban which didn't allow models that are too thin. It caused by a model died during a show.
I think they should have this ban.
Some models look so healthy ,but actually they have serious health problems. I don't understand that designers like models who are pretty thin to show their clothes. They felt happy when they saw people wearing thire clothes. But why they always require thin models which are not general. If models want to improve their chances for career, they should keep thin which resulted eating disorders.
I think this ban can protect models. At least, it can improve models health.
Questions:
1. What triggered the ban?
2. What's BMI?
3. What BMI should a model have to be allowed to participate in fashion parades in Spain?
4. What's the average height, weight and BMI of a runway model?
5. What are the arguments for and against?
6. Check the meanings of gaunt, emaciated and wan.
7. How can you calculate someone's BMI?
Answers:
1. The ban was triggered a model died during a show in South America.
2. BMI is height to weight ratio.
3. The Spanish ban requires models who who wants to participate in shows shuold have a BMI abvoe 18.
4. The average runway model is about 5 feet 9 inches tall and to weigh in at 110 lbs. resulting in a BMI of just 16.
6. Guant: excessively thin and angular. Emaciated: to cause to lose flesh so as to become very thin. Wan: suggestive of poor health.
7. Height to weight ratio.

Dangerous Food
Scientists found that hot chips have high levels of acrylamide which causes cancer। But it is used to make plastics and dye. Scientists think it has something to do with the cooking process.
A report shows that Monosodium glutamate(MSG) which can damage our eyes is often used in take-away food to enhance flavour in food।
Sometimes delicious food euqil rubbish food. The condiment always bad for peopole's health.
