JSC Unit:2; Lesson: 1(A); Good Food

Ms. Rehana, the English teacher, is talking to the class about food. ‘Food is very important for our body,’ she says. ‘We can’t live without it. So you must always have good food.’

ইংরজি শিক্ষক মিজ রেহেনা খাবার সম্পর্কে শ্রেণিকক্ষে কথা বলছেন। তিনি বলেন, ” আমাদের শরীরের জন্য খাবার হলো অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।” “আমরা এটি ছাড়া বাঁচতে পারি না। তাই আমাদেরকে সবসময় ভালো খাবার খেতে হবে।

‘What’s good food, teacher?’ asks a student. ‘Good food means the right kind of food for good health,’ says Ms. Rehana.

একজন ছাত্র জিজ্ঞাসা করল, ” শিক্ষক ভালো খাবার কী?” মিজ রেহানা বলনে, “সুস্বাস্থ্যের জন্য সঠিক প্রকার খাবারকেই ভালো খাবার বুঝায়।”

It is nutritious. It must contain natural substances that our body needs to grow properly and stay healthy.

“এটি পুষ্টিকর। এটিতে অবশ্যই প্রাকৃতিক উপাদান থাকবে যা আমাদের শরীরের সঠিক বৃদ্ধি ও সুস্থ থাকার জন্য প্রয়োজন।

But remember, you must not eat too much though the food is good. Eating too much is bad for health.

কিন্তু মনে রেখো, ভালো খাবার হলেও তোমরা অবশ্যই অধিক পরিমাণে খাবে না। অধিক খাওয়া স্বাস্থ্যের জন্য ক্ষতিকর।

You have to eat only a certain amount of food that your body needs. So we do not need the same kind of food in the same quantity.

তোমার শরীরের জন্য যতটুকু প্রয়োজন তোমাকে কেবল সেই নির্দিষ্ট পরিমাণ খাবারই খেতে হবে। সুতরাং আমাদের একই পরিমাণে একই ধরনের খাবারের প্রয়োজন নেই।

It depends on your growth and physical structure.’

“এটি তোমার বৃদ্ধি ও শারীরিক গঠনের উপর নির্ভর করে।”
