IELTS speaking part 3 style questions
Examiner: Do you think more could be done to encourage health in your country?
Edurne: I think, in my country that the policy makers 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 bad air pollution. Also, there is a well-established link between better education and health care so education in school is important.
Examiner: How can individuals take more responsibility for their own health?
Andre: For me, this links back to education which should really start at school and then continue throughout one's life. The more we look after ourselves and make the correct decisions surrounding food, health, exercise and so on, the less we might need from our overstretched health services and hospitals. The health benefits of playing sports and games has been well-documented.
For example, campaigns to eat less sugar, cut down on fizzy drinks and sugary snacks, and eat more fruit have been very successful recently and by educating the young, they, in turn, will influence their own families to increase their vegetable and fruit intake.
Examiner: What could be done to halt the rise of obesity globally?
Raff: In my opinion the government has a huge responsibility to try to persuade people to live more healthily and the rise of obesity or overweight children as well as adults is very worrying. People worry about young children in pushchairs being given cans of fizzy drinks and sweets as a reward to good behaviour.
As well as education to promote a healthier lifestyle options in school where children learn about overall health, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and the health benefits of a healthy diet, governments could educate adults through as series of TV programmes, magazine adverts or public service education messages to raise awareness of the risk and dangers of obesity and a poor diet. we could even implement a program where at risk men and women pay less for a community based fitness class. A positive reinforcement message would be more effective than more negative messaging. For example, free gym membership, recipe cards and access to more playing fields, parks and green spaces would contribute to making exercise accessible and promote healthier lifestyle options.
