UNIT 1 - PROSE HEALTH IS WEALTH 5th std English Video Lesson

School has reopened after the first term. Children are , cheerful
sharing about their vacation. The teacher enters the classroom and they
greet her in . unison
Students : Good morning mam!
Teacher : Good morning children. It is nice to see you all again.
Please take your seats. (Notices that Rahul's place is empty)
Hmm.. Rahul seems to be absent! Does anyone know why
he has not turned up?

Ajay : Yes mam, Rahul is suffering from
Typhoid.
Teacher : I am sorry to hear that. Our first lesson in
English in this term is about “Healthy
Living”; and I am sad to observe that we
are not starting on a very healthy note. Well, why do you
think Rahul is suffering from typhoid?
Vijay : He often eats sold outside the school. I think this is snacks
the reason for his illness.
Teacher : Rightly said Vijay. Flies, dust and germs
sit on uncovered food. Eating such food will make us
fall ill. Let us congratulate Ajay and John. They were
not absent even for a single day during the last term.
John : Thanks to my parents, I have been
following healthy habits.
Teacher : That's good John. Children, how do we
cultivate healthy habits ?
Rahim : We must get up as early as a
lark in the morning.
Teacher : That's true! “Early to bed
and early to rise, makes us
healthy, wealthy and wise!”
Archana : I brush my teeth both in the morning and
at night. Without brushing, I do not eat
breakfast. I rinse my mouth after every
snack or meal. Only then my teeth will be
as pretty as pearls

Divya : I wash my hair regularly.
Ajay : I clip my nails every week and keep
it short.
Vijay : I wear clean clothes.
Rahim : I wash my hands before I eat food or
snack.
Teacher : That's nice! With what should you
wash your hands and how often?
John : I wash my hands with soap, before and
after every meal.
Archana : I wash my hands with soap after using the rest room.
Murali : I wash my face, hands and feet when I return home from
school and after playtime.
Teacher : Well! What is a healthy diet?
Archana : Eating the right food at the right time
is good for our health.
Teacher : Fine! How do we take care of our health?

eight glasses per day.
