Dear Dr. Wong,
I am going to have an important English
contest in three weeks. I feel stressed and
worried about it. I know there's a close
connection between the foods we eat and
our feelings. I would be very grateful if you
could give me some advice on certain types
of foods or drinks that can make me feel
better before the contest.
Sincerely,
Silvia

Dear Jack,
Thank you for your letter asking for advice about what to eat
before going to your job interview.
Garlic and onion are believed to give you bad breath. You
should not eat peanuts or papaya as they make you feel
sleepy. Additionally, avoid fast food because it will give you
stress. Meanwhile, a cup of tea or coffee can keep you
awake.
I hope you will chose the right foods and succeed in your
interview.
Regards,
Dr. Glenn
