Sample Answer

Well, there are numerous activities that can help a person remain fit. Personally, I consider running to be the activity that has helped me to stay in shape. Moreover, in addition to it intake of a nutritious balanced diet with adequate sleep also holds a lot of importance.

There is a beautiful park near my abode, I make it a point to run for about 30 minutes twice every day, that amounts to an hour daily. Once, in the morning hours before the hustle and bustle of the world around and next 30 minutes during the evening hours after I return from my office. It’s a great way to increase my strength and flexibility, hence allowing me to stay in shape.

Furthermore, I Try to have a balanced diet. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are included in my diet. Also, I try to avoid carbonated drinks and processed food items. Moreover, sleep is way more important for health and well-being. Getting enough sleep of about 7-8 hours is a must to stay fit and healthy.

All in all, maintaining a balance between running, eating healthy meals and sleep energizes me, also helps me stay focused, increases my concentration, motivates me and finally allows me to stay fit and active all day long. It has impacted my life in a positive manner, and all these factors play a vital role in maintaining my overall health and fitness.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card) DESCRIBE A PERSON WHO LIKES TO TALK A LOT

You should say:

• Who this person is?
• How do you know him/her?
• What he/she likes to talk about?
• And explain how you feel about this person?

Sample Answer

I know a lot of people who are gregarious and can talk to people all day long. Among them is Naina, my cousin. She enjoys interacting with others and is an extrovert. Naina is the younger daughter of my maternal aunt; she is eleven years old and enrolled in the eighth grade. Naina has curly short hair, a gorgeous grin, and a fair complexion.

What I really like about her are her adorable, plump hands. She’s always talking, so everyone calls her a chatterbox. Naina can speak for hours on end about anything. She is an animal lover, particularly of dogs. I once witnessed her outside her home bandaging an injured dog.

Naina is a generous girl who always help people in need. She has a happy disposition that lifts everyone’s spirits. She enjoys viewing movies, and when she gives me the tale, I get the impression that I’ve watched the film. Naina can put a smile on anyone’s face and make any circumstance seem less stressful. She aspires to be a teacher and is an excellent student. She is an outgoing person who enjoys making new friends. Her parents and instructors have reprimanded her for this practice, but nothing has changed. When she’s around, nobody can get bored. She walks every morning since she is highly aware of her health. Her tendency to talk a lot has occasionally gotten her into a lot of trouble. I adore this adorable talkative person, therefore when she is silent, I sense a problem and find it bothersome.
