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
