Careful-reading
Jennifer's case is a reminder of the dangers of the unhealthy weight-loss habits that have become common among teenagers of both sexes. In a society where being thin is often seen as being beautiful, teenagers sometimes turn to extreme methods to slim down quickly. According to a recent survey of senior high school students' lifestyles, almost one fifth of teenagers regularly skip meals, one in ten over-exercise and four per cent even take weight-loss medicine. Health experts are concerned about these figures. They are increasing their efforts to educate teenagers about the side effects of losing weight too quickly. They have also warned them against using such extreme methods.
Task 5 : List the expert’s advice on losing weight (para.6-7)

She pointed out that it is important to have a healthy balanced diet since teenagers are still growing and their bodies need a lot of nutrition to function well. If they do not take in enough food, they may feel weak and get ill easily. She added, "What's more, they should keep regular hours and get plenty of exercise to stay energetic and fit. We strongly encourage all teenagers to follow these lifestyle tips, because living well is the safest and most effective way to get into shape."

Suppose(假设)you are a friend of Jennifer, you are planning to write a letter to her to give advice on the healthy ways of losing weight.
Gather some useful expressions from Para.6-7
Writing
Dear Jennifer,
Learning that you skipped meals to lose weight and even fainted, I feel terribly sorry and I do regard it as inappropriate. I am writing to offer some constructive proposals.
Skipping meals does harm to you to a great extent, giving rise to the weakness both physically and mentally. Instead, getting plenty of exercise may be a much wiser alternative, which enables you to stay energetic and fit. Additionally, I also highly recommend keeping regular hours, which is said to be of great use in controlling weight.
I do hope my suggestions above are of help and that you will get an ideal figure in a healthy way. Best wishes,
Cecilia
Beauty should be inclusive!
Thank you~
