PE 7/29 Michelle Obama “Let’s Move” Speech –Part 5

And we’re working to reauthorize our child nutrition legislation that will make significant new investments to revamp our school meals and improve the food that we offer in those school vending machines, so that we’re serving our kids less sugar, salt and fat, and more vegetables, fruits and whole grains.

* revamp: to improve something; repair something

ex> The congressman revamped the bill so that both parties could vote for it.

This is bipartisan legislation and it is critically important for the health and success of our children, and we are hoping that Congress will act swiftly to get this passed.

* bipartisan: 양당의

* swiftly: quickly

ex> We must act swiftly and decisively in case of an emergency.

But we also know that healthy eating is only half the battle. Experts recommend at least 60 minutes a day of activity. That’s at least the bare minimum, and many of our kids aren't even close.

* half the battle: a portion of the solution to a problem

ex> Saying you’re sorry is half the battle.

* bare minimum: the least one should do/have

ex> You should cook a hamburger for a bare minimum of 6 minutes.

And we’re working to get more kids participating in daily physical education classes and to get more schools offering recess for their students.

* recess: a break in the school day to play games or sports outside

ex> We had recess from 1 to 1:30 and the fifth graders had it from 1:30 to 2.
