　　The Youth Hostels Associations of England and Wales and Scotland have more than 400 hostels, many of them in lovely countryside. They're a very good idea for travelers of all ages and families too, not only are they cheap and friendly, they're also good places to visit. Everyone in a Youth Hostel helps with the housework and prepares their own meals, though some hostels offer cheap meals too. As Youth Hostels are popular, especially in summer and at I3ank Holidays, it's a good idea to book. The YHA also organizes special interest holidays for different outdoor sports, activities and interests.

　　To use the hostels you have to be a member. The cheapest way to do this is to join a YHA in your own country that is a member of IYHA. This makes finding a hostel and booking easy too, these association can offer you with the International Handbook, which has addresses and information about youth hostels in many countries, and with advance booking vouchers forms you can use to book a place in youth hostels in other countries.

　　If you can't join in your own country, you can ask for an International Guest Card, either before you come or when you're in Britain. Write to or visit YHA Services for International Guest Cards, maps and handbooks, they can also offer information about booking hostels, travel and special interest holidays.

You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first-year college student. “Fifteen” refers to fifteen pounds—the fifteen pounds added to a student’s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain (增力n) weight; but it’s encouraging to know that freshmen don’t have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.

Mistakes choosing food

University kitchens serve(供应）many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food，because now their parents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.

Eating right

If you，re careful, you don，t have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas：

Think more about what you eat.

Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.

Don’t eat desserts full of sugar； have fruit after dinner.

Try not to eat so much unhealthy food while you study.

It，s all right to have a little fast food sometimes—but not often.

Write down the foods you eat.

Walk, run, do sports—move and you will feel better!

Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.
