BEING FAT IS  A  SERIOUS PROBLEM
Do you know if you are too fat, you may have serious problems with your health? A group of doctors wrote a report about some of the effects of too much fat.
One important effect is on the heart. If you are fat, your heart has to work harder. This may lead to a heart attack; or it may lead to other heart problem.
In addition, extra fat can also change the amount of sugar in your blood. This can cause serious disease such as diabetes.

Furthermore high blood pressure is another possible
result of being fat.
More studies are needed about all these problems but one thing is clear, extra fat may make your life shorter.

The Important of English Language
I personally think that English is the world’s most important language. Why do I say  that ?

Firstly, English is an International language. It is spoken by many people all over the world, either as a first or second language.
Secondly, English is also the key to opens doors to scientific and technical knowledge which is needed for the economic and politics development of many countries in the world.
Thirdly, English is a top requirement of those seeking jobs. Applicants who master either active or passive English are more favourable than those who don’t.
From the facts above, it is obvious that everybody needs to learn English to greet the global era.
