Yes, eating nourishing food plays a vital role in my life as it helps me lead a healthy life and keep fit. That’s why I enjoy eating home-cooked food rather than fast food or pre-prepared meals.

  • In what ways do you try to stay healthy?

I try to eat a balanced diet as often as I can which means including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and I also try to exercise regularly at home or at fitness centers – either running or going for a bike ride as a daily routine, but I admit that with all my studies at the moment, I am not always as conscientious about my health as I should be. I know that physical activity, regular exercise, and the health benefits of playing sports can deter bad habits, increase good health, and aid in the speedy recovery from an illness.

  • Do you have any unhealthy habits?

Well, everyone is addicted to some habits that they try to change. And I am one among them. My work priorities are such that I reach home around 8 pm. I feel lazy to cook, so I go to bed with an empty stomach or order a takeaway.

Question: Describe a time when you were ill.

You should say : 

  • When this was 
  • What your symptoms were 
  • How long the illness lasted 
  • And say how it affected your life at the time

Well, I’ve never been seriously ill, but I can remember a couple of weeks ago, I had taken leave for 3 days because I was under the weather. 

I was walking back home from work and it suddenly started to rain cats and dogs, so I got wet. The next day when I woke up, I was a bit off-color. I still remember feeling poorly, even though I got a headache, a sore throat, a chesty cough, and a blocked nose. I decided to see my GP for a check-up. My GP said that I caught a heavy cold and had to take a lot of medicines. I was in charge of a project presentation at that time, and due to the situation, I had no choice but to phone in sick and reschedule the presentation until this week. But thank God, I was over the worst of it and made a speedy recovery after 3 days of suffering.

Từ vựng:

PART 3

Một vài câu hỏi có thể được hỏi trong phần này:

  • Do you think most people worry more about their health as they get older?
  • How can people be encouraged to stay healthy?
  • Do you think more could be done to encourage health in your country?
  • How can individuals take more responsibility for their own health?
  • What are the most popular ways of keeping healthy in your country?
  • Why do you think some people continue bad habits when they know that they are damaging to their health?
  • Do women pay more attention to their health than men?
  • Could governments do more to promote healthier lifestyle options? 
  • Would you say modern science and technology has more of a positive or a negative influence on people’s health?

Một vài câu trả lời ví dụ:

  • Do you think most people worry more about their health as they get older?

Obviously yes. When people go grey, they get signs of bad health. This is explained by the fact that their immune system will weaken as getting old. So, old people can feel poorly easily. That’s why they pay more attention to their health. And we can see the fact that there are a lot of old people rather than the young going out for walks or jogging.

  • How can people be encouraged to stay healthy?

It's an interesting question... In my opinion, the government could encourage people to go in for sports by making it more affordable and popular... Promoting healthy food rationing on television might be a good idea as well...

  • Do you think more could be done to encourage health in your country?

I think, in my country that policymakers should have more initiatives and implement stricter policies when it comes to activities that affect people's health. For example, the banning of smoking in public places would not just benefit the smokers, but the non-smokers as well as there is much evidence about the dangers of passive smoking such as developing asthma and a sore throat which is often a symptom of bad air pollution. Also, there is a well-established link between better education and health care so education in school is important.

Câu hỏi:

  • Describe your favorite sport.
  • Describe an activity you do for your fitness.

Câu trả lời gợi ý:

Question: Describe an activity you do for your fitness.

You should say: 

  • What you do
  • How often you do it
  • Where you do it 
  • And explain how you think this activity helps you stay healthy or fit

Staying in good shape is everyone’s concern and I am no exception. To be honest, I have been so caught up in my study since I entered university that I have a problem organizing my daily routine. However, I have been participating in a yoga class for about 2 years, which takes me only 1 hour a day, to try to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Unlike dancing or running, yoga definitely involves stretching actions. You might look at yoga and think that it is light and easy but it is more demanding than it appears. Yoga allows me to work on all the parts of my body. It can burn a lot of calories in just one hour of training. Also, it enhances my flexibility and suppleness in every single movement.

What I enjoy the most about yoga is meditation. It is all about regulating your breathing and helping you take things off your mind easily. Another thing is that doing yoga is supposed to be good for curing headaches and digestion-related problems, so it benefits not only physical well-being but also mental health.

By maintaining a schedule of taking part in the yoga class on a daily basis, I feel extremely relaxed and full of energy after the class. It helps me to keep fit and refresh my mind after a long stressful day. And of course, I don’t see myself stopping practicing this activity any time soon.

PART 3

Câu hỏi có thể gặp phải:

  • Why do you think sports are important?
  • Do you think famous sportspeople are good role models for children?
  • Do you agree that sports stars earn too much money?
  • Do you think children get enough exercise these days?
  • Is there a difference between exercise that boys like and exercise that girls like?
  • How can parents encourage their children to take more exercise?

Một vài câu trả lời ví dụ:

  • Why do you think sports are important?

I think sports are important for different reasons. For me, doing a sport is about having fun. When I play football, for example, I forget about everything else and just enjoy myself. Also, doing a sport helps you to keep fit and healthy, and it's a good way to socialise and make friends.

  • Do you think famous sportspeople are good role models for children?

I think that sportspeople should be good role models. Children look up to their favorite football players, like David Beckham for example, so I think that these people have an enormous responsibility. They should try to be a good influence, and behave in the right way.

  • Do you agree that sports stars earn too much money?

In my opinion, it's fair that the best sportspeople earn a lot of money. Being a top sportsperson requires hours of practice, and there are millions of sports fans who are willing to pay to see them play. If we don't want sportspeople to earn so much money, we shouldn't go to watch them.
