Health

Vitamins are necessary for good health. Vitamin A promotes the growth of young animals and is essential to the proper development of their eyes. If you cannot see in the dark, perhaps you should drink more milk, which is rich in vitamins. Yellow vegetables like carrots also contain vitamin A. if you have trouble with digestion or if your appetite is below normal, you many need vitamin B. Among the foods containing this vitamin are eggs, green vegetables and meat. 

According to my druggist, liver, which contains vitamin B, is a safeguard against anemia. For an adequate supply of this vitamin, eat plenty of tomatoes. If you are susceptible to colds, vitamin C may help you resist them. In the spring or during the summer, you can get vitamin D by a trip to a sunny beach. Vitamin D, derived from sunshine and found in fish lives oils, prevents rickets. When you look at a meal, decide upon a well balanced mean fortified with vitamins.

Holidays Without Parents

Next week Linar and Lita will have a holiday. They have a plan to go to see their uncle at their village. But their parents could not accompany them because they have to work at their office.

“I heard you both would go to your uncle’s house on next holiday, wouldn’t you?” asked mother.

“Yes, Mom. We miss him because we haven’t met him for two years,” replied Linar.

“Would you join us, Mom?” asked Lita.

“No, I am sorry. I am very busy next week. So you yourselves go there,” continued mother.

Hearing the conversation between his wife and his children, father didn’t want the children disappointed. Then he said, “Ok my dear, you can go with a driver wherever you want to. “Father gave money to them and said, “here you are. Be careful on the way.”

“In my opinion you are correct. Thank you very much. That’s very kind of you, Dad,” continued Linar.

How Old Is The English Language,,,?

Everyone knows how old they are when they are asked about their age, but it is hard question for almost everyone to answer ‘How Old Is The English Language?’. It is likely the same when foreigners want to know since when Indonesians speak Bahasa Indonesia. Maybe some of us will say since a long time ago, but precisely since when? Some of us will answer since ‘The Youth Pledge’. It means since 28 October 1928.

Historically, the English language is devided into three periods : Old English, from 800 to 1066. Middle English, from 1066 to about 1500 and Modern English, from 1500 to the present time.

Modern English is the English that native speakers have been using for the last 500 years. Modern English begin from the dialect that had developed around London by the end of the fifteenth century. It is now spoken by the British isles, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other areas.
