Passage Translation
1. Water is great medicine, needed to maintain a healthy body and a clear mind. About 60% of your body is water, and you must constantly re-supply it. The standard recommendation is to drink at least eight glasses a day. When you are exercising, you need even more water, because you are sweating and losing water. Of course, warm temperatures also increase water loss. Just walking for an hour on a warm day may increase your requirement by two glasses or more.
2. Some people might think that being a foreign student is an easy task to do. It is not true. We live between two worlds. One, a world of memories, a world of the past where we get our strength to deal with the difficulties of growing up and adapting to new places. A world that nobody here knows. Two, the world of the present, strange and unfamiliar, a world where only we can take care of ourselves, a world where the rules and values are so different from the ones I was born to.
