Walking
1. Do you like walking?
Sure, I like to walk. I normally walk around the park near my house to get some
exercise. It’s also a good way for me to relax and clear my head. I normally go for a
walk in the early morning or the evening when the weather is cooler.”
2. Do you like to walk on your own or with others?
I prefer to walk by myself. Like I said before, I think walking is a good way to
clear my mind and think about any problems I have or decisions I have to make.
Also, I like to walk fast so I don’t want to have to slow down for someone else.”
3. Do you think walking is important?
Yessss, I think it’s important to be an active, and walking is the most basic physical
activity that we can do.
4. Would you say that your city is a good place for walking?
“Definitely not. It’s much too crowded. The sidewalks are taken up with
motorbikes and other stuff so there’s nowhere really to walk. Also there is heavy
air pollution so being outside for a long period of time is not good for your health.”
5. Do people in your country walk a lot?
“Not really. At least not in cities. Like I just said, cities are too crowded to make
walking a good option. People normally get around by motorbike, car, bike, or
public transport. Not to mention in the summer it’s too hot to walk long distances.”
6. Do you think walking is important?
“Yes, I think it’s extremely important. Nowadays most of us live a very sedentary
lifestyle which means we don’t get enough exercise and are often overweight.
Walking is a simple way to stay healthy and avoid a lot of modern health problems.”
7. Do you think walking in the countryside is better than walking in the city?
“I think the country is a much better place to walk because rural areas avoid all
of the problems that urban ones have. The air is fresher, there is more space, and
you don’t have to worry about being hit by a bus or motorbike.”
