PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a time when you were ill
You should say:
– when this was
– what your symptoms were
– how long the illness lasted
– and say how it affected your life at the time.
SAMPLE ANSWER
A healthy lifestyle is an important factor in keeping a body healthy. It is highly necessary to maintain a proper routine in order to keep your body healthy. There are different ailments one can suffer from due to various reasons, such as cold, flu, nausea, and many more. I also fell ill at the start of this winter season, during last December.
I have recently shifted to Dehradun and this was my first winter season spent here. As I had shifted from another city and did not take heed of the weather change. Moreover, I ate a lot of cold foods and beverages and roamed around the city in the cold winds without wearing warm clothes. Due to these negligent practices, I caught cold and a high fever with severe body ache.
I was very tired that day due to lack of sleep. I was coughing, sneezing, and had a running nose. It was a very bad experience and it taught me a lot. With a lot of difficulty, I got ready and went to a doctor. The doctor advised me medicines and gave me strict instructions to follow regarding my routine and things to take care of during extremely cold weather.
During my bed-rest, I had to take leaves from office, resulting in a disrupted routine, and loss of pay. My work and social life suffered equally, and I learned a lesson to maintain a proper routine and to take care of my health in order to prevent any future illnesses.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do women pay more attention to their health than men?
I believe so. Well, whenever I feel poorly, I will arrange an appointment with my GP for a check-up. But things doesn’t seem to go the same with men. For example, my dad doesn’t think he is sick until he is at death’s door. Maybe it’s because we think that women are more vulnerable than men.
Could governments do more to promote healthier lifestyle options?
I think there are still a lot of things that governments can do to encourage healthier lifestyle. People should be both physically and mentally healthy. Therefore, both of the aspects should receive attention equally. For physical health, governments can raise taxes on junk food and invest more in public exercise equipment.
For mental health, I believe most of mental problems result from stress. Therefore, governments should come up with ideas to reduce working hours of employees as well as workload of students. Of course, this reduction must be accompanied by an increase in productivity and quality.
