When a child says, “I don’t see why I have to know that; I can’t remember it anyway,” he is voicing a very reasonable protest. O

f course, there are plenty of instances of wilful shirking, where a little effort can overcome the slackness of memory; but every teacher who is honest enough to reckon with himself knows he cannot give a sensible reason why things are to be taught which have so little to do with the child’s life that to-morrow, or the day after examination, they will be forgotten; things which he himself could not remember were he not repeating them year in and year out, as a matter of his trade. And every teacher who has thought at all for himself about the essential nature of the young humanity he is dealing with, knows that six hours of daily herding and in-penning of young, active bodies and limbs, accompanied by the additional injunction that no feet are to be shuffled, no whispers exchanged, and no paper wads thrown, is a frightful violation of all the laws of young life. Any gardener who should attempt to raise healthy, beautiful, and fruitful plants by outraging all those plants’ instinctive wants and searchings, would meet as his reward—sickly plants, ugly plants, sterile plants, dead plants. He will not do it; he will watch very carefully to see whether they like much sunlight, or considerable shade, whether they thrive on much water or get drowned in it, whether they like sandy soil, or fat mucky soil; the plant itself will indicate to him when he is doing the right thing. And every gardener will watch for indications with great anxiety. If he finds the plant revolts against his experiments, he will desist at once, and try something else; if he finds it thrives, he will emphasize the particular treatment so long as it seems beneficial. But what he will surely not do, will be to prepare a certain area of ground all just alike, with equal chances of sun and amount of moisture in every part, and then plant everything together without discrimination,—mighty close together!—saying beforehand, “If plants don’t want to thrive on this, they ought to want to; and if they are stubborn about it, they must be made to.”
In the second sentence of this paragraph, the repetition of the word “things” primarily serves to:

A) qualify a claim by acknowledging an exception to it
B) portray contrasting viewpoints as equally legitimate
C) clarify an argument by restating it in simpler terms
D) illustrate a generalization with a particular case
E) strengthen an assertion by broadening its implications

Helath is important to all forms of life. It is what keeps us functioning and healthy. Maintaing a healthy diet can have it's benefits. Exercising regularly can keep us in shape, and help us do everyday things in life, like walking and lifting.

Maintaining a healthy diet is important becuase if we are obese or overweight, we cannot do well in everyday things. Walking will be harder, as well as lifting. Being overweight also prevents us from having enough energy, so we may feel tired.

Commitment is also important. If we commit to a healthy lifestyle, we can live longer. Be sure to stay away from artificial and processed foods. Eat leafy greens and fruits and vegetables, to get the proper amount of nutrition. Also, keep an eye on how much you intake, do not overeat.

You can also keep a log or notepad to track how much you eat, how many calories you take in, and whether or not you are losing weight. You should also drink plenty of water, to prevent dehydration, which can give you headaches, and energy loss.

All in all, health is important because if we are not healthy, we will have a hard time in life. You must ensure that you are getting enough sleep and enough water, so that you are not suffering from insomnia, which will reduce your energy levels, and drink water, so that you are not dehydrated. Exercise and a helthy diet are the key to a healthy lifestyle. Keep an eye on what you out into your body, and exercise regularly.
