　　For years experts have argued that poor households are consuming less nourishing food than the rest of the population．

　　But a survey of some of the lowest earners in Britain shows the nutritional value of what they eat is little different to everyone else．

　　In fact, the same deficiencies in diet were shared by all the population and the findings suggest that poor eating choices are far more widespread than previously suspected - affecting many wealthier families．

　　These included low fruit and vegetable consumption, not eating enough oily fish and eating too much saturated fat and sugar．

　　“This is a large and significant study and it shows we are all eating just as bad a diet as each other,” said Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University．

　　The poorest families were eating only slightly more sugar and slightly less fruit and vegetables, according to the study of 3,728 respondents in the bottom of the population．

　　Alison Tedstone, head of nutritional science at the Food Standard Agency, said：“Overall, people on low incomes have less than ideal diets, but their diets are only slightly worse than those of the rest of the population．”

　　The study also showed that low earners are choosing to eat unhealthily．Their food choices were not linked to their income, their access to shops or their cooking skills．

　　The findings appear to contradict assumptions that the poor cannot afford healthier foods or are too far away from shops that sell them．

　　The Low Income Nutrition and Diet Survey showed that like the rest of the population, the poor's daily fruit and vegetable intake on average is below the recommended five portions．Fewer than 10 per cent of respondents hit this target, while around 20 per cent ate less than a portion per day．

　　More than three quarters(76 per cent)of men and 81 per cent of women did less than one 30-minute session of moderate or vigorous exercise per week．

　　Some 45 per cent of men and 40 per cent of women were smokers．

　　This compares with 28 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women in the general population．

　　“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask．In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart．If you can recite the text and write it out, you've learned it fairly well．And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you're a very successful learner indeed．Your English will be quite perfect．

　　This is a difficult task．However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you'll find it not half so hard as you might have thought．

　　Learning this way, you will make rapid progress．Of course, writing is also necessary．It helps you a lot on our way to success in English．

　　Equally important is to feel the language．You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news．When using English, you should try to forget your mother tongue．Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way．So, never try to see English through translation．
