Mike: Good morning! I'm Mike Martin. Today's topic is how to live a better and healthier life. Joining us here in the studio we have expert Sonia Tarrington.
Sonia: Hi, Mike. Glad to be here.
Mike: Sonia, your job title is Nutritionist. Now, what on earth do you do?
Sonia: Well, a nutritionist is basically a food scientist... that means I examine the effect food has on our bodies.
Mike: Hm. So you mean you find out what is in, say, an apple, that makes it a healthy food to eat?
Sonia: More or less, Mike. You see, unhealthy eating causes all kinds of health problems such as being fat and even heart disease. We hope to show people how to eat themselves to better health.
Mike: Eat yourself to better health? Can you give poor people like me any details here, Sonia?
Sonia: Sure. The best thing you can probably do is add one extra vegetable to your main meal.
Mike: Great advice. And what about fish? My mom always made us eat fish on Fridays. Was she right?
Sonia: Your mom was right, Mike. At least once or twice a week you should eat fish, it's full of vitamins, and very easy to digest.
Mike: So, are you telling us that eating healthy things will make us live longer?
Sonia: The statistics suggest yes. You'll live a longer and healthier life. In fact, some research shows that eating more fruit and vegetables can reduce your risk of cancer by as much as 20 %.
Mike: Amazing! Well, we'll be back with Sonia...

Anna: Welcome again to People Today. Now it's time for our Eye on the World section, with iMark Perkins. Mark?
Mark: Thanks, Anna. Yes, in tonight's Eye on the World we go to Japan. Now, everyone knows people in Japan work long and hard hours, but just what do people do in their free time? Well, we have found out and here is the top ten. The first place is eating out. The second place comes... driving. Yes, it appears Japanese people like nothing more than driving around cities and into the countryside in their free time. It may seem strange to you and me, but there you are! Next, in third place, is travel within Japan... Fourth is, guess what, Anna?
Anna: I have no idea!
Mark: Karaoke, of course. Lots of people enjoy singing along with their favourite songs. Then in fifth place we have watching DVDs and videos, followed by listening to music. But just look what we have here in seventh place — trips to museums and zoos. Then way down in eighth place comes going to bars, and after that gardening. I guess not so many people in Japan have gardens. And finally in tenth place we have playing the lottery. And who wouldn't want to win lots of money? Back to you, Anna.
Anna: Thanks, Mark. Now, let's go to see...
