IELTS speaking part 1 style questions
Examiner: In what ways do you try to stay healthy?
Max: 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 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 a speedy recovery of an illness.
Examiner: Do you and your friends each much junk food?
Mario: I'd like to say no, as I am aware of the health benefits of eating healthily and obviously junk foods contain large amounts of salt and sugar to make it flavoursome and appealing to taste. However, as a student, I am often tempted by a quick and convenient take away, and in recent times, it's been really useful to have ready meals delivered without having to leave home even though I know it is a bad habit. Keeping healthy and observing proper dietary habits makes it easier to lose weight and maintain good health but I am a busy student and it's not always easy to choose healthier lifestyle options.
