Read the three answers below. Match the answers with the questions 1 -3 in Exercise 4.
a 
Definitely. I think relaxing is a very important part of being healthy. We are always busy. 
We're travelling to work or college, we're meeting friends, we're doing homework. So 
in my opinion, I think it's important to slow down and relax. It is good for our bodies and 
our minds.
b 
That's a difficult question. Let me see. Unfortunately, in my country, young people like 
playing computer games, and they usually like eating junk food. We should encourage 
them to play game outdoors. For example, they could go to the beach and do water 
sports. We should encourage them to learn about food and cook some healthy food 
w ith their families.
c 
That's interesting. I think it's important to play sports. There are lots of different sports 
now, and you can learn a new sport wherever you live. Sports people earn a good 
salary. I think it's a good job. I'd like to be a professional golfer. But there are some 
boring sports. For example, I don't like watching motor racing.
