1. W: The only thing I can do at night is to lie in bed and read, preferably while also eating a snack. I never have time for exercising.
M: Don't think it's worth exercising only if you can run five miles or if you can bike for an hour. Even going for a 10-minute walk is worthwhile. Q: What advice does the man give to the woman whatever she can to exercise.
: Hi, Mark, I've gained quite some weight recently. So, how can I eat healthily at social events

Q: What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa can smoke in the designated areas of pubs and bars.
: So, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home, they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence W: Yes, that's right.

Q: What are the two speakers talking about
of family violence on children.
: Skipping breakfast is common among people who are trying to lose weight, but it doesn't seem to be a successful strategy.
