In addition to exercising regularly, eating a good breakfast is considered by many health experts to be a significant part of a successful way of reduction plan. After a night of fasting the body needs to be replenished with nutrient in order to maintain a high level of energy throughout the day. Several nutritionists suggest that dieters should eat up to one third of their daily calories at breakfast time. These calories should be in the form of balanced meal of nutritious food. A balanced meal consists of five key elements: Proteins, Carbonhydrats, Fats Vitamins and Minerals, people who're dieting need a variety of foods to assure a constant supply of nutrients their bodies need. If a well-balanced diet is not followed, the dieter may become sleepy, nervous, or feel out of sorts. If a poor diet is maintained for a long period of time, the dieters may become vitamin defficiet vitamin defficiency can cause serious health problem.

M: Yeah, maybe. Personally, I think those long-range forecasts are useless.

W: Not as useless as you think.

M: Oh, come on, when you're talking about what's going to happen three months later, you might as well just pick a forecast out of our hat.

W: Well, you are half way right. They aren't very good for precipitation. But they are a lot better for temperatures especially for this time of the year.

M: Really, so I should take them seriously about the cold but not count too much on a lot of extra snow? W: Ahha.

M: But what did you say about this time of the year. Do some seasons really give them more problems in making forecast.

W: Autumn is the worse, apparently weather patterns change so much then, just think how variable our weather has been the last three month.

M: Come to think of it. That's true. It probably would have been hard to predict all those changes back in the summer. You know, you're beginning to convince me there is more to forecasting than I thought. How come you know so much about it?

Good morning, my name is Marsha and I'm a senior in the Math Department here at Madison. Today Greg and I'll be taking you around to a few places you'll be visiting a lot,. Before we start, though. Does everyone have a copy of a map of the campus? You should really keep this with you for the first couple of weeks, at least until you'll become familiar with the buildings and landmarks. You sure wouldn't want to miss any classes this early in the term. Today we will visit some of the most important places on the campus. First, we'll go to the register's office where you'll sign up for your classes. So if you haven't seen your advisor yet, you can wait in the commons outside while the others get their class schedules. You have to come back here on your own later. Next, we'll go to the library. I think you'll be pretty impressed with the real books collection, and finally. We'll go to the cafeteria where you'll probably spend a lot of time socializing at least until your first exams are scheduled. The number of the room for your classes will be on the schedule you'll get from the register, and it will be up to you to find those rooms yourselves. So, if there are no questions we'll start the tour now.
