Home Remedies
A long time ago, when people were sick, they didn’t go to the doctor, and they
didn’t buy medicine from the drugstore*. Instead, they used home remedies—
medicine made from things people already have at home. Today, many people
like to use home remedies because they are cheap and easy to use. Here are
some old home remedies from the United States.

When you have sleep problems:

Don’t eat dinner late at night. Have a small, light dinner early in the evening.
Eat lettuce for dinner. It helps you feel calm.
Eat raw* onions to help you sleep.
 When your ear hurts:
Cook an onion and put the hot onion on your ear.
Put some salt in a bag, heat the bag, and put it on the side of your head.
Put warm oil in your ear.

When you have a headache:

Don’t eat very cold food, like ice cream.
Lie down and close your eyes. Breathe calmly, and don’t think about anything.
Put a hot cloth on your head, above your eyes.

When you have stomach problems:

Eat a lot of yogurt to help your stomach work better.
Drink tea made from ginger, peppermint, or chamomile plants.
Reduce alcohol and coffee.

Read the problem. Then complete the advice.

I’m going to a big party in London tonight. I really don’t want to go, but I have to
because it’s my best friend’s birthday. I’m kind of shy, so I never enjoy parties. I find
it difficult to talk to people that I don’t know very well. I have nothing interesting to
say! Also, my English is not very good. I’m worried I won’t understand what people
are saying to me. What can I do?

::

Oh, that’s too bad. Lots of people don’t like parties, but I have an idea.
You should go to the party early when not many people are here. Then you can
meet just a few new people. It’s not true that you don’t have interesting things
to say! It’s a good idea to ask simple questions. For example, ask people where
they grew up or where they work. These things can give you confidence and
help you feel better. Remember, you don’t have to talk to everyone. Finally, if
you’re worried about your English, just ask people to speak slowly. Relax! Enjoy
the party.

Type affirmative or negative commands using these verbs: text, study, take,
forget, do, use, ask, pay.

1. Don't do your homework in front of the television. Do it in a quiet place, like

the library.
2. Don't study late at night, when you’re tired. Study
in the morning or afternoon, so you can remember the information better.
3. Take breaks often. Your brain needs to rest!
4. Don't text your friends during class. Don't use
 your phone in class at all. Pay attention to your teacher!
5. Ask your teacher for help if you don’t understand something in class.

in your stomach.

Are you stressed because you have too much work? There are some ways you
can reduce stress. First, don’t wait until the last minute to finish things. If
you are under pressure and you have three projects that you have to finish by
next week, what do you do? Make a schedule and decide how long you will
work on the projects. Decide which projects need the most time and do those
first. Second, don’t work all day. Take a break! You have to walk away and take
time to relax. Eat a snack or go for a walk. You will focus better and feel better,
too.

UNIT 1 TEST

How to Reduce Stress

What are some ways to reduce stress? There are several ways to deal with
stress. Take a look at these five tips.

Take a break: When you feel stressed, take a rest for five minutes. Take deep
breaths. Sit up straight and put your hand on your stomach. Close your eyes and
clear your head. Count to ten and slowly breathe in and out. Don’t think about
work or school.
Check in with your body: Lay down on your back. How does your body feel?
Does anything hurt or ache? Mentally scan your body from the bottom of your
feet to the top of your head. Stretch any parts of your body that hurt.
Exercise: You can reduce your stress when you exercise. It doesn't need to be a
difficult exercise. Any type of exercise, like yoga or walking, can help you relax.
Laugh: A good laugh from the stomach can reduce stress. When you laugh, your
brain releases chemicals that improve your mood. Watch your favorite funny
movie. Or hang out with a friend who always makes you smile.
Talk to your friends and family: Don’t email them. Talk to them face-to-face or
on the phone. Tell them about your feelings and why you are stressed. It’s
helpful to get advice from other people.

Amazing Musician: Adam Ho

When Adam Ho was a teenager, he loved playing the electric guitar, singing,
writing his own music, and recording music in his own home studio. He played at
concerts all around California, and performed music for TV commercials. There
was an article about him on the front page of a Los Angeles newspaper when he
was 12.

His love of music began even before he was a teenager. At the age of nine, he
won first prize in a music contest. In 2009, he received an award for a TV
commercial he made. When he appeared on a national TV talent show, he won
first prize with the best score possible. Adam often played on a shopping street
in Santa Monica, California. People stopped to listen and give him money.

When he was younger, Adam had other talents and interests, too. He enjoyed
swimming, tennis, martial arts, and acting. But mostly he loved to play the guitar.
He also gave guitar lessons for beginners. His advice to other young musicians is

WRITING 2: PRACTICE
Read about Alicia. Then read the statements. Are they true or false?
Usually, I’m a careful person, but last year I decided to do something brave. I
traveled around Africa for a month on my own. I had a lot of fun, but I had some
challenging times, too. One night, I went for a long walk because I was curious
about the neighborhood. Unfortunately, I got lost when I was walking back to my
hostel. I was frightened because it was very late and I thought the streets were
dangerous. Then I saw a woman who was also staying at my hostel, so I asked her
for directions. She laughed because the hostel was just around the corner! In the
darkness, I was confused. I don’t like taking risks, but some adventures are fun.
1. Alicia is never careful.

true

false

TEST

A Challenging Flight 

Amelia Earhart was the first female pilot to fly alone over the Atlantic Ocean. She
also wrote many books about her adventurous experiences. Earhart couldn’t fly
when she was young because girls were not allowed in piloting school. But she was
very brave and wasn’t afraid to try new things. Earhart learned how to fly when she
was twenty-four years old. On May 21st, 1932, Earhart flew alone from
Newfoundland across the Atlantic Ocean. It was a risky flight. Her goal was to land
in Paris. Because the weather was very windy and icy, she landed in Ireland instead.
It was still a success. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, so
she became very famous and received many awards. In 1937, Earhart started a trip
around the world. Her friends told her that it was too dangerous, but Earhart liked
taking chances. When she was flying from Hawaii to Australia, she lost radio
communication. Her plane disappeared. Many people are curious about what
happened to Earhart.  Some people believe that she crashed into the ocean. Other
people think that she landed  on one of the islands near Australia. Amelia Earhart’s
death is still a mystery today.
