They might have red eyes, a 6 (run) nose, and sneezing. To avoid allergies, it’s wise to go out less when pollen levels are high. Another problem is that spring is a time 7 germs grow fast.

If we follow these things above, we can take good care of 10 (we). （二） A healthy lifestyle is not difficult to have. First, we should have a balanced diet. We need to eat 1 (much) fruit and vegetables and less meat. Drinking water is necessary, but we shouldn’t drink too many soft drinks. Second, exercise is the key to good health. We can walk for 30 minutes every day. 2 we are free on weekends, we can go hiking or swimming. Exercising makes our bodies strong and helps us sleep 3 (good) at night.
