Self assessment exercise

Today I did one more task on http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=302464
The task was to identify the main point of the text.
The text was about people are being to be careful with their health by everything that surround them such as magazine and television. The information given is to eat healthy and take exercise. The health also affected by the environment that people are living. Some illness cause by pollution. There is development of diseases but also the new treatment to cure. Stresses and strain also cause illness.
The cause of illness is not only the individuals control but the society as a whole. The illness also have costs. The cost for health service and cost for working time lost.
This is what I understand from the text. I hope I understand it correctly. I don't know some of vocabularies but I didn't look at the dictionary. Normally, I don't look for the word that I don't know from a dictionary unless I really don't understand anything about the article. This is bad because I don't learn any new words and some parts of the article I don't get exacly what they wrote. I think it's time consume to find the meaning of every words that I don't know. However, I should look for them more.
The next task is making effective note. I chose notes 3 which is I think the most effective. However, my notes are seem like note 1.
