3. There are ten mistakes in this passage. Can you find and correct them?

 Well, I think there are many ways to keep fit. Firstly, you should eat healthy. Don’t eat too much meat, fast food and fried things. Some people often have a big hamburger and a soft drink for their lunch. It isn’t good habbit because that meal doesn’t include any vegetables. If someone wants to have a quick heathy lunch, they should buy some avocado sushi. Secondly, you shouldn’t eat deep- fry food. You should steam it because steamed dishes doesn’t use any fat. If you like, you can also stew lean meat with vegetables. It’s healthy and nutrition. Thirdly, you should get up early and do morning exercise regularly. I think it is not easy for you to follow this advive. But if you follow it you will always be on good health.
