P4 Dictation

Dictation 1 (Chapter 3)

People say it is important to eat a balanced diet, but what does that mean? It means that we need to eat food from all five food groups.
Fruit and vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals. These keep us healthy. Try to eat a rainbow!

Our bodies only need a little fat, sugar and salt. Food containing a lot of these things is often called ‘junk food’. It is OK to have a few chips or sweets every now and then, but don’t eat them every day.

We all know that it is important to eat healthy food but when it comes to snacks, it may be hard to make good choices.

Too many potato chips are bad for us. Eating a packet a day is like drinking five litres of cooking oil a year! Fish balls and instant noodles are no better.

Together, a bar of chocolate and a can of cola contain about 15 teaspoons of sugar. Too much sugar is bad for our teeth and can make us overweight.

Since Julie had the magic ointment, she did not eat properly or exercise. After a month, the jar was empty. Julie felt feverish and her mum took her to see the doctor. He gave her an injection and some pills.
