JSC Unit: 2; Lesson-3(A); Our Daily Diet

Ms Rehana        : Let’s talk about essential foods that we need to eat regularly. For our good health we    must choose the right food in our daily diet.

মিজ রেহানা        : যে কতকগুলো অত্যাবশ্যকীয় খাদ্য আমাদের নিয়মিত খাওয়া প্রয়োজন, চলো আমরা সেগুলো   সম্বন্ধে আলোচনা করি। আমাদের সুস্বাস্থ্যের জন্য প্রাত্যহিক খাদ্যসামগ্রীর মধ্যে সঠিক খাদ্য  নির্বাচন করা আমাদের কর্তব্য।

Student 1           : We eat rice, “ruti” fish and meat every day. What else should we have, teacher?

শিক্ষার্থী ১            : প্রতিদিন আমরা ভাত, রুটি, মাছ ও মাংস খাই। আমাদের আর কী খাওয়া উচিত, টীচার?

Ms Rehana        : Well, we must also eat vegetables and fruits. They contain a lot of vitamins and        minerals. They keep our body free from diseases. They also good for our skin and overall health.

মিজ রেহানা       : আমাদের শাবসবজি ও ফল-ফলাদিও খাওয়া উচিত। এগুলোর মধ্যে প্রচুর পরিমাণে ভিটামিন ও     খনিজ পদার্থ থাকে। এরা আমাদের দেহকে রোগমুক্ত রাখে। আমাদের চর্ম ও সার্বিক স্বাস্থ্যের জন্যও এগুলো উত্তম।

Student 2           : Should we have anything else?

শিক্ষার্থী                : আমাদের কী আরো কিছু খাওয়া দরকার?

Ms Rehana       : Sure. We need to drink milk every day. Milk is highly rich in calcium. It’s good for our healthy growth. It makes our bones and teeth strong as well. We must drink pure water at regular intervals too. It’s essential for our body. We can’t live without drinking water.

মিজ রেহানা      : নিশ্চই। প্রতিদিন আমাদের দুধ খাওয়া প্রয়োজন। দুধ অত্যন্ত ক্যালসিয়াম-সমৃদ্ধ। আমাদের  স্বাভাবিক বৃদ্ধির জন্য এটি ভালো। এটি আমাদের হাড় ও দাতকে শক্ত করে। নিয়মিত বিরতি দিয়ে বিশুদ্ধ পানি পান করাও আমাদের কর্তব্য। আমাদের দেহের জন্য এটি অপরিহার্য। পানি পান করা ছাড়া আমরা বাঁচতে পারি না।
