Mark: I can't believe it! I thought you can't live without burgers and chips!
Nam: I know. I ate a lot of fast food, but now I prefer fresh fruits and vegetables.
Mark: So what happened?
Nam: Well, it was my grandfather. I visited him during my last summer holiday and have learnt a lot of important life lessons from him.
Mark: Really?
Nam: Yes. He's a wonderful person. He has just had his 90th birthday, but he's still full of energy!
Mark: Amazing! How does he stay so active?
Nam: Well, he does exercise every morning, goes to bed early, and eats a lot of vegetables. We spent a lot of time together cooking, working in his garden, and walking in the parks. I've learnt from him that taking regular exercise and eating a balanced diet are the key to a long and healthy life.
