Hi, Kids! I’m Wang Fei from Class 3. As you know, it’s World Health Day. And we’re talking about healthy
food.
I think milk is the healthiest food, because it can help you grow taller and taller. And it can also make you
stronger and stronger.
Eggs are also good for your body. If you want to get good grades, then you’d better eat more eggs. For me,
eggs are the most delicious food in the world, because it looks like a zero. Haha! I’m only joking.
Besides, I think vegetables are pretty important for you, because without vegetables, you can’t keep fit.
At last, don’t forget the fruits. There is a saying “An apple a day keeps doctors away.” If you want to look
good, I think you should eat an apple a day. So apples are one of the best fruits in the world.
What do you think? What are your favorite foods and why? Come and tell us on the radio!
