FOR LISTENING TEST

5. Exercise as much as possible to keep your body healthy. Exercise helps keep your heart to
pump efficiently and your muscles to remain strong. It also increases your lung capacity so that
more oxygen gets into your body. It even helps you to burn off excess fats. One of the last
exercises is swimming because it uses all parts of your body at once.
6. All life on earth depends on the heat and light from the sun. Plants manufacture food with the
aid of sunlight. Photosynthesis cannot happen without the suns rays on leaves of green plants.
Animals will die from cold if the sun does not shine for many months. If we could use the suns
heat as a source of energy, the sunlight that falls on earth in one could run the worlds machines
for one month.
