Текст аудирования:
Some British primary schools are encouraging the children to drink more water. This is because scientists believe that our brains need water to send messages and make connections. They say that a bottle of water is the easiest way to improve children’s health, behaviour, learning and test results.
In Green Dale Primary School all the pupils have a water bottle on their desk. They can drink as much water as they want and then fill up their bottle from the tap. Mrs Harris, head teacher, told our reporter, ‘Everyone needs to drink a lot of water — it’s good for our bodies, our brains and it’s free. Some children drink too many fizzy drinks. Soft drinks and colas have too much sugar — they are unhealthy and they cause discipline problems.’
The school and parents are impressed by the results. The Year Five teacher said, ‘After only two weeks, things were a lot better in my classroom. Now the children concentrate better and they are more awake in the afternoons. In the past, when they drank sugary drinks, they were much noisier and didn’t behave well. Day after day I used to see tired and bad-tempered children who couldn’t learn because they were thirsty. I also saw children going into the school sick-room with ‘illnesses’ which could be ‘cured’ with a glass of water.task
Mrs Williams whose son Billy is in Year Five said, ‘I think it’s a very good idea. Water is better for the children and it doesn’t cost anything, I now give the children more water at home and I think they are healthier and happier.’ Another mother added, ‘When you see the Prime Minister speaking, he always has a bottle of water next to him. Why cantaskt our children have the same?’
The children had the last word on the subject: ‘Ittasks OK, but I like cola more. ’ ‘I dontaskt like water very much, but I drink it.’ ‘Now we drink more water we need more toilets.’ ‘It’s great — it’s free and I like it.’
‘I prefer fizzy mineral water — tap water is boring.’
