1. Hide the TV remote control. Getting up and changing the channel manually ten times per day with the TV two meters from the sofa will burn calories.

2.Go through regular doors, not automatic ones. Pushing the door works the triceps.

3.Don't drink water with meals. Water prevents a feeling of fullness.

4.Towel dry your hair. This is a small workout for the biceps.

5.When sitting, occasionally lift your feet from the floor,then hold. This works the abdominal muscles.

6.Don't wait for the bus, walk to the next bus stop. By walking you burn six calories every minute.

7.Carry objects. Keeping the arms extended requires powerful static contraction. Shoulders and chest muscles are worked.

8.Relax. Not relaxing causes release of the hormone cortisol,which takes muscle and burns it as fuel, leaving fat cells in its place.

9.Wear lace-up shoes, not slip-ons. Tying laces works the thumb and fi nger flexor muscles.

I am Mexican and my fi rst language is Spanish. I speak Spanish with my family and friends every day. However, at school I have to learn English for three hours every week.Why is it important that I learn English? People speak English all over the world – more than any other language except Mandarin Chinese. English is the international language of business, science, technology, banking,medicine, and more. It can also be fun. A lot of great music is in English as well as movies and TV shows. I want to speak English because I want to travel to other countries and communicate with people. I also have family in the US and I want to have conversations with them. For all of these reasons, I think English is a very important language to learn. I also think that learning English will help me get a job when I leave school.

Obesity in Latin America is an increasing problem. More and more children and teens are becoming overweight or obese.There are many possible causes for this problem. These include an increase in urban living, dietary changes towards unhealthy US-style snacks, and a more sedentary lifestyle that involves watching TV and playing video games.

In Mexico, Congress passed legislation in 2010 in order to decrease the amount of junk food schools sell to children.Specialists also suggest that schools should provide students with at least thirty minutes of exercise per day.

Hombre: I think my favorite leisure time activity is drawing.I think I could be an illustrator because I do it all the time.I enjoy drawing portraits of people or just drawing what I see while I walk on the streets. I sometimes go to the park and look for a nice spot to sit down. I always carry colored pencils and a small notebook. You never know when you'll fi nd something worth drawing!
