PART 2 TASK CARDS

5. HEALTH
Describe a health problem you or someone you know had
You should say
what it was -
how you had this health problem -
what you or this person had to do to get better -
and say how you/ this person felt about this health problem
A: Hello girl, it’s nice to meet you. Let me introduce a little bit about myself. My name is Thu and I’m
a student from Dalat University.
B: Hello Thu, nice to meet you. I’m Thien and I’m from Dalat University too.
A: really?
B: yeah. Can I ask you some questions?
A: In what ways do you try to stay healthy?
B: Being a health- conscious person, I try to improve my state of health by combine regular exercise with
a balanced diet. To be more specific, I reduce my meat intake and eat fresh fruit and vegetables which
contain plenty of fiber as well as vitamins. In addition, I generally have a medical check-up with my
doctor every 6 month to help find potential health issues before they become a problem.
A: Wow, that's great. You look so pretty .
B : hehe, you're too kind .
A: Do you any sport ? What are the health benefits of playing a sport?
B: I play volleyball . I   think playing sports benefit us both physically and mentally. Playing sports
helps  control  weight, combat health conditions and boost energy, Besides, scientists suggest that
physical activities stimulate various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more
relaxed.
A: Do you think people pay attention to their health enough these days?
B: In my point of view, the answer is no. Most people nowadays tend to lead a sedentary lifestyle  and
not  attach much importance on their diet. As as life is more and more hectic, most people are occupied
with their jobs and find it difficult to prepare daily meals. They tend to resort to fast food like pizza or
hamburger which are high in cholesterol and do not have any nutrients at all. Since the appearance of
smartphone and social media, plenty of people spend a great deal of time surfing the Internet or
browsing their news feeds and rarely do physical exercise. That’s the reason why the proportion of
overweight people is increasing.
A: Thank you for answering my questions.
B : Nothing , What about you, do you think the same as me?
A: For me, health and fitness means a lot to our life, so people find many many ways to have a
good health. You should maintain a healthy diet. Healthy foods such as vegetables, fruit,
grains, etc., are an important part of keeping my body nutrition at its optimum. Processing
fatty and sugary foods don't give the immune-boosting protection that healthier food does.
Sugary foods can decrease immune function. Next, you had better drink 2-litter- water a day
to provide enough amount of water for your body. Finally, make sure that you get adequate
sleep every night, get at least seven to eight hours sleep nightly.
B:Woa….. Please protect your health!
A : Okay ,Same to you . See you again .
B : Oke , bye bye .

 Disadvantages : + Teaching is a very hard job and requires a lot of sacrifice in silence.

profession. In addition to the regular teaching hours, when returning home, teachers also
have to prepare lesson plans, grade assignments, and record books
+ The low salary makes many teachers not eager to work.

industry. I hope that with the choice of Law major, I will have a serious learning process, logical
thinking, problem synthesis skills... in a scientific way to help me find the key to reveal things. I
need some clarification.. However, this industry has some difficulties that I need to overcome:
+ Studying Law is learning “for life”
+ Difficult to follow the Law when there is no passion
+ Law is a high pressure industry
