The First Topic

Describe a health problem you or someone you know had.

You should say:

• what it was

• how you/this person had this health problem

• what you or this person had to do to get better

and discuss how you/this person felt about this health problem.

We all have health issues from time to time. But, by the grace of almighty, I haven’t had any major health issues in my life so far. But, one of my coworkers had a health problem that caused him much suffering, and today, I will talk about this colleague and his health problem.

My colleague had a fatty liver problem which he had come to know about a year ago. Prior to that, of course, he was complaining about pain and discomfort in his abdomen, as well as about his constant fatigue. In fact, he became so sick at some point that he couldn’t even come to the office for days in a row. But, he didn’t really care about those health issues since he thought that he was only having some kind of chronic gastric problems.

By the way, he did have gastric problems many times before that, so it was only natural for him to consider his health problems as some gastric related issues. Besides, he also had a habit of eating all kinds of junk and fatty foods without ever considering negative health effects. Of course, we, at the office, suggested him to cut the amount of fatty food and food with sugar, but he was just never in the mood to listen to our good advice.

His overweight also played an important role in developing his fatty liver disease. So, again, it was only a matter of time that he was going to have some major health issues like that. However, after going to a doctor and taking some medicines, he started to feel better, albeit very slowly. Besides, he also had to take bed rest for a considerable period of time before actually being able to work again.

Anyway, I felt really bad about the health problem of this co-worker of mine since we always used to laugh and make jokes with each other. Besides, I, together with the other staffs, also was a bit worried about our works at the office since we were struggling to finish our works in his absence.

The Second Topic

Describe something you have started recently which is good for your health.

You should say:

• what it is

• when you have started it

• why you have started doing it

and explain how it is good for your health.

What it is

Thank you for this interesting topic. I have recently started going to a gymnasium and this is something I have been planning to do for a long. However, I am happy that I am finally doing it and I believe this is something that will bring numerous benefits to me.

When you have Started it

For more than a year, I have been planning to take some outdoor activities to remain fit. I am already in my early thirties and due to my work pressure in the office, I hardly get time to play outdoor sports or walk in the morning or in the evening.

I realized how important it is for me to do some sort of exercise considering my age. And in the middle of the last January, I became a member of a local gymnasium. After I started visiting the gym each day and doing exercise for about an hour, I have lost more than 10 pounds of my body weight in just two months.

Why you have started doing it

I was slightly overweight before I started the gym. After I shed some weight, I now have a good BMI (Body Mass Index). The decision to go to the gym every day was a great one as it has not only helped me lose some of my body weight and remain fit but also helped me to adopt a balanced diet and a healthier lifestyle.

I wake up before 6.00 am as I need to go to the gym before 6.45 am and as a result, I go to bed early at night. The gym instructor has recommended me a dietary change and this is also helping me a lot.

Explain how it is good for your health

Since I start my day with some physical exercise, I drink more water each day and feel more energetic throughout the day. I am hoping to continue this routine and expect more positive changes to live a healthy life.
