3. Listen, read a newspaper article about the oldest person in the US and say what his secret of long life was.

The world’s oldest man, Walter Breuning, died at the age of 114.

He put his long life down to eating just two meals a day, working as long as he could, and always ready for change.

He died of natural causes (естественные причины) at a hospital in the USA.

Walter Breuning was born on 21 September 1896. As a kid, Breuning had no electricity or running water – his mum had to bring water from an outside to give him a bath.

In an interview shortly before his death, Breuning said he wasn’t afraid of dying.

He also said: “Everybody says your mind is the most important thing about your body. Your mind and your body. You keep both busy… you’ll be here a long time.”
