We have to eat in order to have the energy to perform our daily tasks and to enjoy the many beautiful things in this world. However, do we really know what to eat so that we can be healthy? Many diseases are associated with unhealthy eating. Hence, it is important to know what to eat so that we will not be victims of such diseases.

1. What do you have to eat in order to be healthy?

2. What are some of the unhealthy food adults and children like to eat?

3. Why is important to eat healthily?

4. What are some of the diseases associated with eating unhealthy food?

5. What are the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables?

6. Do you like to eat fruits and vegetables? Why?

7. Do you support the school's campaign in encouraging pupils to eat more fruits and vegetables? Why?

8. What activities can you suggest to encourage children to eat more vegetables and fruits?As usual, I look forward to reading your reflection of healthy eating.

2. Can you describe what you would do if a fire were to break out in your home or outside?

3. What do you think are the causes of fire in homes or outside?

4. What can you do to prevent fire from breaking out in your home and outside?

5. Do you think our pupils are conscious of fire safety? What makes you say so?

6. If you were given a chance to introduce an activity for children to learn fire safety, what would it be and why?

I hope the questions above will stimulate you to reflect on the issue of fire safety. I am looking forward to reading your journal writing soon.
