Nam: Hey Scott, have you ever heard the saying, ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away'? Scott: Of course, why? Nam: Did you know that it's really true? Scott: What do you mean? If I eat one apple a day I will never get sick? Nam: Not exactly, but it can help you lose weight, build healthy bones, and also prevent diseases like cancer. Scott: Wow! That's incredible. I drink apple juice every day. |
Nam: Yeah? That's good, it will help keep you from getting Alzheimer's disease when you get old. Scott: Is that the disease that affects your memory? Nam: Yes. Since drinking apple juice helps boost your brain's memory function, it helps you remember things for a long, long time. Scott: But Nam! Scott: There are a few things I really want to forget. Nam: Like losing the football match yesterday? Scott: Exactly! |
