1. Eating out healthily

Eating out usually means that we have little control over how the food is prepared or how large the portion is. Foods eaten out tend to be higher in fat and research has shown that those who eat out regularly generally have higher intakes of fat, salt and calories. Studies have also shown that eating with friends can tempt us to overeat. Meals with multiple courses eaten over longer periods and with alcohol are all associated with overindulgence. Large serving bowls and spoons increase the likelihood of piling more food on your plate than you usually eat.

Unlike packaged food, foods bought from cafes, restaurants etc don't have to carry nutritional information and so opting for the healthiest option might not always be obvious, or easy. However, with some knowledge and thought, eating out can be enjoyable and healthy!

2. How to eliminate Acne Scars using tomatoes

We need tomatoes as much as we need. How to use:
Clean the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes that have been cleaned into sections. Put the pieces on the face of existing acne scars. Let stand for about 20-30 minutes.
Clean your face with clean water. Perform it routinely 2-3 times a week.

3. Celebrate Life

Age does not lie. It tells you the truth about your endurance in facing situations (either good or bad situations). Now I fully understand that 27 is not "that young", this is the transitional period before entering the next stage of my life, being a 30 years old guy. All actions that I have done during all these years will shape my own future, maybe in the next 5, 10 or even 2 years from now. If there is an action, there must be a reaction and I am quite scared, what kind of reactions that I am going to face of in the next upcoming years (hmm, I am crossing my fingers right now).

It is true that everybody wants to be happy. Happiness is something that we search everyday. But is it true that we have to find that happiness, even the short one? I do not think so. Some people go to a club every week to find for their happiness. Some people use drugs as their "sweet" escape and hope to find their own happiness by using those things. Some people search for sex every week (or every day) to satisfy their sexual needs which they hope can bring a little of happiness to them. Some people travel, looking for something or maybe happiness by visiting a random place. This searching of happiness is very critical in our life and this is something that we do everyday.

I don't want to spend the whole year in my life just for searching for a very short happiness. It is just a waste of time to find something that is not eternal. The clock is ticking, the more you grow older, the less power that you can do in life. I just want to make sure that I make best decisions (as much as I can) during this 20s and those decisions are not based on the argument that "this is only for a short happiness". Seek something that is eternal, not something that is temporary.

4. How to Quit Smoking

To successfully quit smoking, you’ll need to address both the addiction and the habits and routines that go along it. While some smokers successfully quit by going cold turkey, most people do better with a plan to keep themselves on track. A good plan addresses both the short–term challenge of quitting smoking and the long–term challenge of preventing relapse. It should also be tailored to your specific needs and smoking habits. Take the time to think of what kind of smoker you are, which moments of your life call for a cigarette, and why. This will help you to identify which tips, techniques or therapies may be most beneficial for you.

Start your stop smoking plan with START
S = Set a quit date.
T = Tell family, friends, and co-workers that you plan to quit.
A = Anticipate and plan for the challenges you'll face while quitting.
R = Remove cigarettes and other tobacco products from your home, car, and work.
T = Talk to your doctor about getting help to quit.

Assignment 3

1. Relative Clauses
Relative clauses are clauses starting with the relative pronouns who*, that, which, whose, where, when. They are most often used to define or identify the noun that precedes them.
Relative pronouns are associated as follows with their preceding noun:
A person who(m)/that, whose
A thing which/that, whose
The relative pronouns where and when are used with place and time nouns
The relative pronoun whose is used in place of the possessive pronoun. It must be  followed by a noun.
Relative clauses which give extra information, as in the example sentences above, must be separated off by commas. The relative pronoun that cannot be used to introduce an extra-information (non-defining) clause about a person.

Who : subject or object pronoun for people.
Which : subject or object pronoun for animals and things and referring to a whole sentence.
Whose : possession for people animals and things.
Whom : object pronoun for people, especially in non-defining relative clauses (in defining relative clauses we colloquially prefer who).
That : subject or object pronoun for people, animals and things in defining relative clauses (who or which are also possible).
When (in/on which) : refers to a time expression
Where (in/at which) : refers to a place
Why (for which) : refers to a reason

EXAMPLES :
1. I told you about the woman who lives next door.
2. Do you see the cat which is lying on the roof?
3. Do you know the boy whose mother is a nurse?
4. I was invited by the professor whom I met at the conference.
5. I don’t like the table that stands in the kitchen.
6. The day when we met him.
7. The place where I went with my family.
8. The reason why she did not come.

2. Conditional Sentences
Conditional sentences are sentences expressing factual implications, or hypothetical situations and their consequences. They are so called because the validity of the main clause of the sentence is conditional on the existence of certain circumstances, which may be expressed in a dependent clause or may be understood from the context.

There are three types of conditional sentences:
1. First Conditional
Nature: Open condition, what is said in the condition is possible. It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.
Time: This condition refers either to present or to future time.
Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future

Example :
1. If he is late, we will have to go without him.
2. If my mother knows about this, we are in serious trouble.
3. If I have enough money, I will go to Japan.
4. If I find her address, I will send her an invitation.
5. If you make a mistake, someone will let you know.

2. Second Conditional
Nature: unreal (impossible) or improbable situations. It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.
Time: present; the TENSE is past, but we are talking about the present, now.
Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)

Example :
1. If I knew her name, I would tell you.
2. If I became president, I would change the social security system.
3. If I won a million pounds, I would stop teaching.
4. If I had enough money, I would go to Japan.
5. If I won the lottery, I would buy a car.

3. Third Conditional
Nature: unreal . It is impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.
Time: Past (so we are talking about a situation that was not so in the past.)

Form: if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would + have + Past Participle)

Example :
1. If you had warned me, I would not have told your father about that party.
2. If I had had enough money, I would have gone to Japan.
3. If you had called me, I would have come.
4. If you had done your job properly, we wouldn't be in this mess now.
5. If you had warned me, I would not be in prison.
