Sweety: I think I look horrible now.
Ram: You are overweight. Soon many people'll start calling you ‘a walking football’.
Sweety: It is not easy to lose weight. I have also taken pills on doctor’s advice. But nothing is working.
Ram: Pills are always harmful. Natural ways are the best.
Sweety: Inferiority complex is becoming my new curse. I want to hide myself.

Three Tips to Get Sound Sleep at Night
Rosy: Hey Jack! What’s the problem with you? You always reach office late.
Jack: I am really in trouble. I can’t sleep at night.
Rosy: I have heard you may be fired. You are not doing your work efficiently.
Jack: During the office period I feel sleepy, thus can’t do my work properly. I am helpless.
Rosy: If you are able to get good sleep at night your problem will be solved.
Jack: I want that but I can’t. Probably it is God’s curse on me.
Rosy: You must do something otherwise you will spoil your career.
Jack: I even tried pills. They made me sleep at night but caused headaches during the day. So I stopped
taking them.
Rosy: Pills are temporary solution. I am giving you a few tips to solve the problem permanently.
Jack: Please tell me fast, I am dying to get them.
Rosy: Tip first: take physical exercise twice a day. Tip two: Do meditation for a few minutes before
sleeping. Tip three: Spare at least two hours on every holiday to pursue your hobbies. Your problem will be solved after a couple of weeks.
Jack: Why are you so sure?
Rosy: Because I myself had insomnia (sleeplessness) last year. And I still follow these tips.
Jack: I shall do what you have told. And if my problem is solved I’ll write a blank cheque for you.
Rosy: (laughing) I’ll take, don’t forget it.

Importance of Morning Walk for Health
Tina: I think we should go for a morning walk daily. Morning walk is extremely good for our body as well as our mind. It keeps us active the whole day.
Meena: You are right. I am ready to go with you. It is the best exercise for both young and old.
Tina: It refreshes our mind and improves blood circulation. We become free from our daily tensions.
Meena: It strengthens (make strong) the immune system of our body which fights diseases, consequently (as a result) our body is able to fight the diseases in a better way. Therefore even the doctors always recommend (suggest) the patients to have a morning walk regularly.
Tina: Yes I agree, but it is very difficult for some persons to get up early in the morning in the winter season.
Meena: We must be firm. When we have a habit we can’t miss it. If we miss it for one day, we feel very lazy for the whole day.
Tina: In small towns people go for a walk in the fields or along the banks of canals. That’s even more exciting.
Meena: In big cities people can walk on the roads or in the public parks where they can enjoy fresh air. The area must be pollution-free.
Tina: In the morning people enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature and feel very pleasant in a cool breeze.
Meena: Birds chirp early in the morning on the trees. In the villages people can see farmers ploughing or reaping the fields. A very good sight certainly.
Tina: In the cities so many old men immensely (very much) enjoy a morning walk. Many do light exercise or yoga in the parks.
Meena: Beautiful flowers of many colours can be seen blooming in the parks or gardens. We can walk barefoot on the grass. It’s considered good for our eyesight.
Tina: We should never miss a morning walk whether it is hot summer or cold winter.
Meena: Morning walk is more essential for fat persons. If they walk regularly they can reduce their weight.
Tina: In fact we can live longer and generally a disease-free life if we go for a morning walk regularly.
Meena: In reality, a morning walk is just like a nutritious (good for improving health) food for our body.
Tina: Yesterday night I was seriously thinking that we must do this light exercise, and I decided to talk to you about it.
Meena: I am extremely thankful to you. Can you reach my house at 5.30 am daily? I shall happily accompany you...........

Going to Meet a Friend in the Hospital
Manju: Hello Amir, how are you feeling now?
Amir: Somewhat better. Allah saved my life.
Kishan: Nobody can predict what will happen in future. How did the accident take place?
Amir: Everything occurred fast. I had no time to save myself. I was going on my scooter. Suddenly a car swerved to my side to save a cow. The driver lost control and knocked me down.
Manju: Thank God you are alive.
Amir: (Indicating fingers towards the roof) God saved me. There is a fracture in my leg. I also got head-injury. Doctor has told that I am out of danger now. After the accident I became unconscious. They found my phone no. in my purse and informed my family.
Kishan: Really, God gave you a new lease of life. Is the car driver under arrest?
Amir: Yes, the police arrested him. But I think it was not his fault. A cow suddenly came in front of him and he became confused.
Manju: Cows are everywhere on the roads of India. It is hazardous not only for the life of the citizens but also for the cows. Traffic police is doing nothing, our leaders are sleeping. How can they charge road-tax?
Kishan: Who brought you to the hospital?
Amir: The police brought me here.
Kishan: Something must be done to assure the safety of the people.
Amir: How did you come to know about my accident?
Kishan: Dinesh rang up at night.
Manju: OK. Amir take rest. Everything will be all right. We are leaving now.
Kishan: May God recover you soon!
Amir: Thanking you.
