Chocolate – Why the Dark chocolate healthy?
 Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables. These benefits are from flavonoids, which act as antioxidants protect the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage that leads to heart disease. Dark chocolate contains a large number of antioxidants (nearly 8 times the number found in strawberries). Flavonoids also help relax blood pressure through the production of nitric oxide, and balance certain hormones in the body. Dark chocolate is good for your heart. A small bar of it everyday can help keep your heart and cardiovascular system running well. (…) 
 This information doesn’t mean that you should eat a pound of chocolate a day. Chocolate is still a high-calorie, high-fat food. Most of the studies done used no more than 100 grams, or about 3.5 ounces, of dark chocolate a day to get the benefits.

A STRANGE EXPERIENCE
	Last month I was on holiday in Ireland with my mom and dad. One day, we were driving through a small village. It was time for lunch, so we stopped at a restaurant. It was a large, old building. We looked through the window. There were lots of people in the restaurant. They were eating, drinking and chatting . A musician was playing the violin. But there was something strange about the people. They weren't wearing normal, modern clothes. They were wearing hats, jackets and dresses from another century. We couldn't understand it. But we were hungry, so we opened the door .
	When we went into the restaurant, everything was different. The people were wearing normal clothes. The musician wasn't there- the music was on CD. It was a very strange experience!
