An expensive lesson

My name’s Paul, and this happened to me
when I was visiting a friend in Paris.

I was getting off the Eurostar train at the Gare du Nord station when a man came up to me. He was wearing a suit and he looked quite respectable. ‘Do you speak English?’ he asked. He had a French accent, but he said he was a banker from Montreal in the French-speaking part of Canada. Then he told me he had a problem. ‘I’m here in Paris with my wife and our three children, and we don’t have enough money for a hotel. You see, my wife tried to get money from a cash machine, but she couldn’t remember our PIN number. She used the wrong number three times, so the machine kept her card. Could you help me?’ I wasn’t sure, so I asked to see his passport. ‘My passport is with my wife. She’s waiting in a café with the children. We only need €65 for the night and I promise ’ll pay you back.’ By this time the man was actually crying, so I thought he was telling the truth. I agreed to lend him the money and I wrote down his name, email address, and phone number in Montreal. Then we went to a cash machine and I gave him the money. He said thank you, gave me a big hug, and left. I never saw him or heard from him ever again. I knew his story wasn’t completely true. Why did a banker have only one bank card? Why didn’t he tell me how he would pay me back? Were his wife and children really in the café, and did they even exist? But I was tired and in a foreign country, and I felt like Thad to help him. I now know to be very careful who I talk to when I arrive somewhere new!

Five a Day

How much fruit do you eat every day? And how many vegetables? Food experts today think that we don’t have enough of these foods in our diet and they say that we eat too much fat and sugar. This is why the World Health Organization has started a campaign to encourage us to eat more fruit and vegetables. The campaign in the UK is called Five a Day.
Why eat fruit and vegetables?
Fruit and vegetables are full of important vitamins and minerals which our bodies need to be healthy. Scientific studies have shown that eating a lot of them can prevent some illnesses like diabetes and obesity. Also, fruit and vegetables don’t contain much fat and they don’t have many calories, so they help to keep us slim.
What counts?
Nearly all fruit and vegetables count towards your five a day, except potatoes. The food can be fresh, frozen, or in a can, like peaches or peas. It can be raw, cooked, or even dried, like raisins or banana chips. A glass of 100% fruit juice with no added sugar also counts as one portion.
How much is a portion?
A portion of fresh fruit or vegetables depends on the size of the food. In the case of small-sized fruit like plums or mandarin oranges, one portion is two pieces of fruit. A piece of mediumsized fruit like an apple, an orange, or a pear also counts as one portion. With larger fruit like melon and pineapple, one portion is a5 cmslice. We use the same method for calculating portions with vegetables. In the case of salad vegetables, a medium-sized tomato or a 5cm piece of cucumber count as one portion each. For smaller, cooked vegetables like beans and carrots, one portion is three large spoonfuls of vegetables.

Question:

Fruit in a can isn’t good for you.

Are you a positive thinker?

On our website this week, Dr Charles offers some tips on positive thinking.

Are you an optimist? I hope so, because if you are, you’ll live longer and you’ll be healthier. Or are you a pessimist? I hope not. Studies show that you won’t enjoy life as much and you’ll take longer to get better when you’re ill. So how do you think positive, not negative, thoughts? Here are some tips on how to be a positive thinker.

Stop thinking negative thoughts such as ‘I’ll never find a partner’ or ‘I’ll never pass my driving test’. Find something positive to do. Phone your best friend and have a chat. Go out and do some exercise. Put on a funny DVD. This will stop you thinking negative thoughts, and will cheer you up.

Don’t compare your life with other people’s lives. For example, thoughts like ‘She’s got a better job’ or ‘He’s got a bigger house’ make you feel pessimistic about life. Change your thinking to ‘I’ve got a good job and I like my work’ and ‘I’m happy in this house. It’s big enough for me’. Remember, being successful doesn’t always mean you are happy.

Write down your negative thoughts. This will help you to clear those thoughts from your head. And that will make you feel more positive. You could also write down positive things that happened to you. Read them when you are feeling sad or depressed, and that will make you feel more positive.

Use positive language when you speak. This will make you think more positively. For example, don’t say ‘Our holiday was a disaster’. Say ‘Next holiday, we’re going to do things differently’. Don’t say ‘Famous? It’ll never happen’. Say ‘Famous? I’ll try my best’. Try it – it works!

1. Question:

if you’re a pessimist, you won’t enjoy life as much.
