FOOD
Food and drink are necessary and desirable, but their abuse can cause serious physical and mental problems.
Many physicians believe that overeating is one of the country's main health problems, since it places a great
strain on the heart, can lead to diabetes, and often shortens the individual's life span. To fill an emotional void.
People often turn to food when they are bored or lonely. Another area of concern is alcohol consumption. The
results of alcohol abuse are widely publicized. The social drinker who becomes alcoholic, the drunken driver's
contribution to highway death, spousal and child abuse, are all concomitant problems associated with alcohol
abuse.

EATING
Consumption of food is a universal necessity. Different cultures have developed different methods to

Correct use of this tool’s changes with the times-what was polite in 1800 may not be considered proper manners
today. China developed the chopstick as an efficient tool for eating. Mastery of the use of chopsticks can be
difficult for the person not raised in the culture. The attempts of a novice to use chopsticks can be very amusing

EXAMS
Subjective exams measure your ability in several areas. Besides recall information, you must be able to realize
content logically and intelligently express yourself in a clearly understood manner. Subjective tests provide
opportunity for students to show their broad knowledge of a subjective area. Answers may be in the form of
paragraphs or lengthy essays.

When your review for an essay exam, concentrate on main ideas rather than details. Since essay tests are less to
a few questions, they are likely to deal with more important ideas of a subject. Prepare a list of questions you
think might be asked. Write an answer to each of your questions. Rather than writing a complete sentence down
your thoughts in outline form. Doing so will help you organize the information so that you can express yourself
clearly.

When you take the test, read through all the questions before you start to write. Allot time for each question,
spending more time for questions worth the most points. Read each question carefully to determine exactly
what they are asked. Pay attention to words such as define, illustrate, explain, list, compare, and contrast. Each
work requires a different type of response. Write a brief outline of your answer on scrap paper or the back of the
test. Make sure you include all the important ideas that are within the limits of the question. In other words, do
not write more than is asked for each answer. When you write your answer, keep it specific and as brief as
possible. In the introductory sentence it is often helpful to make a general statement that includes important
points addressed in each question. Such a topic sentence serves as a framework for your answer. Then use your
outline to develop the main point and subtopics. Add substance to your answer by including as many facts as
possible to support your answer.

Check your paper before you submit it. Look for mistakes in grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and
punctuation. Unless you are certain an answer is wrong, do not change it. Your answer is an educated guess and
is usually your best chance of answering correctly.

THE GAME OF BRIDGE
The ebb and flow of laughter and silence fills the room as four old friends gather to engage in a round of Bridge
playing. For the beginner, Bridge can be complicated, but with time, effort, and a good teacher, even the novice
can become proficient.

Composed of two main parts, bidding and playing, Bridge requires the player's undivided attention. The dealer
deals the entire deck of playing cards evenly between the four players, with each person receiving thirteen
cards. In the bidding portion of the game, the four suits of cards in the deck are ranked highest to lowest as
follows: spades, hearts, diamonds, and finally clubs. However, during play all the suits of cards are considered
equals, and they go from highest to lowest from the ace being high to the two cards being low. The highest
number of tricks wins. A trick is one card played by each player for a total of four. After the lead player lays
