Washing your hands is essential to good hygiene, stopping germs in their tracks.
Washing your hands limits the transfer of bacteria, viruses and other germs. It is
advisable to use soap and clean water or an alcohol-based hand sanitiser to wash
your hands, as studies show both are effective ways of keeping germs at bay. Of
course, it is impossible to keep your hands 100% germ-free all the time, but it
is absolutely essential to wash your hands thoroughly after touching things like
money, doorknobs, restaurant menus, any animals, touchscreens, etc.

If your bowel movements are less than ideal, start by making some simple adjustments to
what you are putting in your body. Drinking enough water is a good start. Without enough
fluids, your stool will be dry and hard. Other signs that you probably need more water or
other sources of fluid, such as milk, juice, soup and tea, include dry lips and mouth, dark
urine and urinating fewer than four times a day. The ideal amount of hydration is different for
everyone and depends on factors like your body size and activity level. Pay attention to how
much liquid you are consuming to achieve a better poop!

Subject Cyclos in Vietnam

Hi Liam,
In Vietnam, it’s popular for tourists to climb on the front of this tricycle taxi to get a little tour of the
city, especially the Old Quarter of Hanoi and the lovely Hoan Kiem Lake. Locals also use these cyclos to
get through the city’s chaotic traffic. In some cases, they are actually faster than a car, and a lot greener!
Bye.
Regards,
Oliver

1 According to Oliver, cyclos in Vietnam are
U7n it
A eco-friendly.
B much slower than cars.

C an essential and affordable means of transportation.

Cuba has been known to have a few unusual vehicles on the road, particularly
an abundance of classic American cars left over from before the days of the
revolution. However, its mass transit classic was the camel bus. Recently
retired, this semi-truck pulled a payload of passengers on a sloped back
trailer. Locals used to jokingly say it contained all the elements of an adult
film: sex, violence and bad language. These crowded wagons have recently
been replaced by modern Chinese buses. Only the tourists with cameras will
likely miss them.

A camel buses.
B classic American cars.

C modern Chinese buses.

Bangkok is sometimes called the ‘Venice of the East’ due to its network
of canals or also known as khlongs. River and canal taxis are still an
important part of the city’s transit system, and in many cases are
much faster than the gridlocked traffic on the roads. This particular
canal route goes right through the heart of downtown. Due to the
fluctuating tides and some low bridges, it is necessary for the boat to
duck at some points. The boats will slow at low bridges and the canvas canopy
will drop a bit, forcing all passengers to crouch for a moment.

3 Bangkok is claimed to be the ‘Venice of the East’ because of

U7n it A its busy ports and traders.
B its extensive network of canals.

C its robust water-based economy.

4 The riding session is held
U7n it
A once a week.
B twice a week.

C once a month.

Hi Ahila,

Topic 5 2 F 3 A I saw the dress too. It is beautiful. I will try to get
5 E 6 H it for you but I will not buy it online. There are many
Worksheet 1 reasons why I don’t like purchasing things online. First
1 D 2 B 3 H of all, it might be a scam. You might not get anything after
4 B 5 D 6 E paying for it. Next, you might get a dress of low quality
and not the one you saw it on Lazada. I have heard many
Worksheet 2 2 D 3 A horror stories like this. Online shopping scams involve
1 G 5 C 6 F scammers pretending to be legitimate online sellers,
4 A either with a fake website or a fake ad on a genuine
2 H 3 B retailer site. While many online sellers are legitimate,
Worksheet 3 5 D 6 E unfortunately scammers can use the anonymous nature
1 B of the internet to rip off unsuspecting shoppers. So be
4 H smart and act wise. There are some warning signs that
we can detect. For example, a product is advertised at an
Worksheet 4 unbelievably low price, or is advertised to have amazing
1 A benefits or features that sound too good to be true. Also,
4 C the social media based store is very new and selling
products at very low prices. The store may have limited
information about the delivery and other policies. We’ve
to be careful.
So, I will look around Moonway Shopping Complex
and get you the same dress.
I hope this helps.

Love,
Keisha
