In the exam you might be asked to describe different ways of getting fit or staying healthy. You may be asked to describe different sorts of exercise that we can take to get fit, or the sort of food we should and shouldn’t eat. In the Writing Paper, you might have to write a report recommending a health club or sports centre, an article recommending a healthier lifestyle, or a letter in which you will give advice to a friend that wants to lose weight.USEFUL EXPRESSIONS:
My doctor told me I was very unhealthy and that I didn’t look after myself. For a start, I was overweight by about twenty kilogrammes. He said I needed to change my sedentary lifestyle. He also told me about the benefits of leading a more active lifestyle. He stressed the importance of sticking to a balanced diet and insisted that I shouldn’t eat so much junk food. In addition, he strongly advised me to give up smoking and take up some exercise.
