【明報專訊】Eason: Look at you! How skinny! You are apparently in lack of nutrition! Buy a couple of bottles of vitamin supplements from me and you will attain perfect health!

Pat: Okay, I would give it a shot then!

(Pat met Dr Panda on the way home.)

Dr Panda: What are these?

Pat: These are the health supplements I just bought from ''Eason pharmaceutical company''. I will never get sick again!

Dr Panda: Oh dear. Take a closer look - they are just orange candy. Eat them every day and you will probably get diabetes! For the sake of your health, throw them away, please!

■English highway﹕Familiarize yourself with something

To take some time and learn about something

e.g. Please familiarize yourself with the school rules before you attend school.

◆Tips: Never buy any supplements from unreliable and unlicensed pharmaceutical companies. Moreover, over-consumption of these products can be a waste of money and harmful to the body. Familiarize yourself with the possible side-effects of the health supplements before you consume them!

■Glossary

skinny (adj) 非常瘦的
