Answer the questions:
1. What triggered the ban?
After a moddle dide druing a show in South Americk.
2. What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI is a reliable indicator of body fatness for people. BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat, such as underwater weighing and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).1, 2 BMI can be considered an alternative for direct measures of body fat. Additionally, BMI is an inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
3. What BMI should a model have to be allowed to participate in fashion parades in Spain?
Above 18 BMI.
4. What’s the average height, weight and BMI of a runway model?
The average height is 5’9”, the weight is 110 lbs and BMI is 16.
5. What are arguments for and against?
The arguments are for criteria of BMI and ban. Many models have complained that this ban discriminates against those who are naturally thin, so they don’t sign up.
6, check the meanings :gaunt – excessively thin and angular. Emaciated-extremely thin and weak. Wan-pallid and tired looking.
7, how can you calculate someone’s BMI?
Formula: weight (kg) / [height (m)]2
With the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Since height is commonly measured in centimeters, divide height in centimeters by 100 to obtain height in meters.
Example: Weight = 68 kg, Height = 165 cm (1.65 m)
Calculation: 68 /(1.65)2 = 24.98
In my opinion fashion show is a public activity, it has aroused people to following do something, so we need healthy moddles but moddles of gaunt, emaciated and wan,thry are not healthy.

Eat Healthily
Hot Chips Cause Cancer:
A newly suspected substance, acrylamide is found in French fries. Acrylamide is used to make plastics and dyes, how is it getting into chips? Many scientists believe it has something to do with the cooking process. In tests McDonald’s chips had the highest level of the chemical, but the McDonald’s spokesperson said it is safe food.
Take-away Food May Damage Eyes:
Researchers of Japan found that eye sight can be damaged by eating a lot of monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is commonly used to enhance the flavour of food. It is often used in Chinese take away. Scientists are quick to point out that we would have to eat very large amounts of MSG to suffer eye damage.
I believe scientist’s opinion that the hot chips and MSG are dangerous to our body. I think if you don’t want to get hurt you must avoid eating these kind of food.

The Great Wall
The Great Wall is a spectacular building in China. Also it is one of the most famous sights in the world.
The Great Wall looks like a long dark grey silk ribbon inserted into the land if you see it from sky. It is 50000 kilometers long and it made of soil, bricks and rocks.
The Great Wall was used by the emperor to resist the enemy’s invasion. Now it has became a stunning sightseeing tourist attraction.
The Great Wall started being built in 550 BC. It is the world legacy of China, it is a world tlentage site, listed by unesco in 1987. It shows the Chinese national spirit of diligence, fortitude and wisdom... so it is important to China!
