Hello, everybody!
Hello, Mermaid.
Mermaid?
Hi, Katharine.
Mermaid, are you OK?
Let me help you. Sit up.
No, I'm not OK.
Well, you do look tired.
Maybe is something you ate.
I don't know, I'm very tired.
And I didn't sleep very much at all.
(YAWNS)
Well, Mermaid, you know it's very important
to sleep eight hours every night.
I know!
Maybe is time for us to remember healthy habits.
What do you think?
OK, but don't talk too loudly, please.
OK.
I'll talk quietly.
Healthy habits help us live better,
so we have fewer health problems.
For example,
every day I do some things that help me feel good.
Like, for instance?
I normally wake up early
and I feel good after eight hours sleep.
On the other hand, I feel worse
if I sleep less than that.
Oh, that's a great advice.
I love sleeping.
I always have a healthy breakfast,
with fruits, nuts, cereal,
sometimes a glass of milk and toast.
Oh, and muffins, and biscuits, and cookies and jam!
Oh, well, actually,
if I have a lot of sugar at breakfast
I feel worse and it makes my tummy hurt.
Also, sugar can provoke cavities in your teeth
and we don't want that.
Oh, no, that's right.
I also feel better when I brush my teeth
after every meal.
That's also a healthy habit.
You're right!
I also feel worse when I don't bush my teeth.
It's so important to clean the food from my mouth after eating
and so we don't get cavities.
And after having my breakfast and brushing my teeth,
I normally take the bus to school.
Bur sometimes I walk, and guess what,
I feel better when I walk to school.
That's beccuse walking is a healthy habit.
Yes, it is a healthy habit.
Just like practising any exercise.
In fact, after school
I like to play in the park
instead of staying at home and watching TV.
I feel better in the open air
But watching cartoon is fun, Katharine.
That's true.
And it's fine to watch TV from time to time.
And it's important to play outside as well.
Or you can stay at home and read a book too.
That's great.
I love to play with my friends at the park
and I also like to stay at home reading a book.
And at the end of the day,
I feel better when I go to bed early.
Yes, and you feel worse
when you stay up late at night watching TV,
like I did last night.
Oh, no, Mermaid.
Healthy habits help us have a better life.
I feel better when I play outside in the park with my friends.
Oh, poor Mermaid.
Why don't you have a nap right now?
She is already sleep.
Mermaid loves sleeping.
See you next time, everybody.
Bye bye.
