Mrs. Tan was worried about her weight (重量)."I'm much too fat," she told her friend. "I need to lose a
lot of weight but I don't know how to do it."

told him her problem.

one."He began to write on a piece of paper."Eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Also eat a lot of lean meat
(瘦肉) and grains (谷物)."

than before and that she was eating a large sandwich with chocolate cake and ice cream.
