Part 2

Now, I'm going to give you a topic and I'd like you to talk about it for 1-2 minutes. Before you talk you'll have one minute to think about what you are going to say and you can make notes if you wish. Do you understand?

Describe an activity you do to keep fit

You should say:
  • What the activity is
  • When and where you usually do it
  • How you do it
  • Explain why it can keep your fit
Sample Answer:
  • • I do a lot of things to stay healthy such as morning walk, yoga, cycling and so on but here I would like to talk about the morning walk.
  • • Every day I get up early in the morning and go for morning walk.
  • • I go with my grandfather, who is 95.
  • • He has never missed his morning walk in his life.
  • • In fact his secret of good health is the morning walk.
  • • I joined him about a year ago and ever since I also have been very regular.
  • • We go to a park near our home.
  • • There is a jogging track in the park which is full of activity in those early morning hours.
  • • My grandfather and I both wear our track suits and walking shoes while walking.
  • • During our walk, my grandpa tells me a lot of stories.
  • • He has a lot to tell and sometimes I am surprised at his memory.
  • • Morning walk has a lot of benefits.
  • • I used to be very fat, in fact a couch potato, but now I am very fit - all because of the walk and all because of my grandfather who made me do it.
  • • Morning walk also improves the blood circulation.
  • • It is a good exercise for all age groups.
  • • The young can do a brisk walk and the elderly can do a leisurely stroll.
  • • There is a laughter club in my home town.
  • • Sometimes they too are there in the park at that time.
  • • They come there to laugh out their stress and worries.
  • • Their laughter is so infectious that when they laugh we also can't help laughing with them.
  • • So a morning walk is the activity which I do to stay healthy.
