Have you ever been cycling? This spring my older brother and I left the busy city and spent a long
weekend cycling in the countryside. Our average speed was only around 14 kph, but that didn't
matter. We hadn't come to break any speed records. or to get fit and healthy. All we wanted was some
fresh air and a break from schoolwork. My bike only once went more than 30 kph, and that was when
I raced my brother down the only hill on our route.
We really enjoyed cycling along flat, traffic-free country paths. There was plenty of spring
sunshine, but it was quite cold, especially in the mornings. We didn't mind, though - and we soon
warmed up as we rode along. Our only problem was when my brakes started making a terrible noise.
But I didn't mind as it gave us an excuse to visit a café while a helpful bike mechanic had a look at it.
 That was one of the best things about our route: every few kilometers there was a village where
we could find everything we needed. All the local people were really friendly, too. However, most
places we stopped at served chips with all the meals, which soon got fairly boring.
One night we were woken at 4 a.m. by a group of rugby fans singing loudly in the hotel corridor.
We were tired and bad-tempered when we set off the next morning and very nearly got lost, but soon
felt more cheerful when the sun came out. That's what I like about cycling - it's simple and fun. If
you're looking for a short break that's active and cheap, then cycling is a great choice!

Health promotion and disease prevention programs focus on keeping people healthy. Health
promotion programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy
behaviours and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities.
Defined by the World Health Organization, health promotion is: “The process of enabling people to
increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour
towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions.”
Disease prevention differs from health promotion because it focuses on specific efforts aimed at
reducing the development and severity of chronic diseases and other morbidities.
Wellness is related to health promotion and disease prevention. Wellness is described as the
attitudes and active decisions made by an individual that contribute to positive health behaviours and
outcomes.
Health promotion and disease prevention programs often address social determinants of health,
which influence modifiable risk behaviours. Social determinants of health are the economic, social,
cultural, and political conditions in which people are born, grow, and live that affect health status.
Modifiable risk behaviours include, for example, tobacco use, poor eating habits, and lack of physical
activity, which contribute to the development of chronic disease.

‘Lifelong learning’ is the pursuit of knowledge throughout life. In other words, learning is
not confined to the classroom environment and school subjects. Instead, people can learn
throughout their adulthood, even in old age and in a variety of situations, particularly in their daily
interactions with others and with the world around them. Lifelong learning must be voluntary and
self-motivated. Therefore, lifelong learners should have a strong desire to learn and explore the
world.
Lifelong learning is facilitated by e-learning platforms. Education is now no longer offered
only by ‘bricks and mortar’ institutions. Online courses have instead enabled lifelong learning by
providing learners, teachers, and course providers with much more flexibility in terms of learning
time, place, pace, and style. Learners, for instance, can now have the course content taught to
them by a school located miles away from where they live or work. In addition, young parents can
select their group meeting time late in the evening when their children have gone to bed.
Most importantly, lifelong learning should be regarded as an attitude to learning for self-
improvement rather than a pathway to qualifications. This means the ultimate aim is to better
yourself for personal and/or professional development rather than for some certificate to decorate
your CV. This type of lifelong learning may not necessarily take place as part of a course. It may
be done very informally in any area of interest and at your convenience, as long as it is well
within your capabilities and/or improves your skills. For example, researching the tidal cycles of
the sea where you often go fishing and the types of fish available there is a form of lifelong
learning.

A. Lifelong learning: defining, forms, and aims

Ostriches
Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on earth. They can grow to be as tall as 9 feet and can
weigh as much as 250 pounds. Even though they have wings, they cannot fly. Instead, ostriches have long,
powerful legs that help them to run very fast when they feel threatened. Ostriches use their wings to
move themselves forward and to help them change direction.
Ostriches are native to Africa, where they still live in desert areas and dry, open grasslands called
savannahs. Ostriches can also be found in zoos all over the world. Humans have domesticated ostriches,
so now ostriches live on farms in over a dozen countries, including the United States, China, India, Japan,
Brazil and Costa Rica. They are raised for their meat, skin, and feathers.
Ostriches like to live in small groups called herds. The male ostrich is called a rooster; the female, a
hen. Baby ostriches are called chicks. The female ostrich lays the eggs, but both the male and the female
take turns sitting on the eggs to keep them warm.

 Table manners differ around the world. If you visit a friend’s home for a meal, it’s good to know about
the customs they follow.
If you are invited to a Moroccan’s home, bring a gift of sweet pastries, nuts, figs, dates, or flowers to the
hostess. In many traditional homes, people often sit on the floor to eat a meal. Often, everyone shares food
from the same 10 plate. The plate is put in the centre of the table. Usually, everyone also drinks water
from the same glass. Only eat the food in front of you. Don’t reach across someone for food. It is common
to use you your fingers and small pieces of bread to eat food. Use only your right hand to eat. Don’t say
“no” to food. If the host of the meal offers you food or drink, take some and try a little. In many
Moroccan homes, it is common to take off your shoes.
Tanzania is known for its fresh fish and spices. Don’t act scared if your meal comes with its head still on
the plate. It is polite to try a bite of everything. In many Tanzania homes, people sit at a table on a small
stools to eat. It is OK to eat with your right hand, using bread or chapati to pick up food. Everyone may
take food from the same plate, but it is not usual for people to share drinks. You may compliment the cook
on a delicious meal, but don’t exaggerate. In some parts of Tanzania, men and women still sit at different
tables. Also remember: it is common to take off your shoes in the home, but it is rude to show the bottom
of your foot.
