Câu trả lời gợi ý sử dụng các từ về chủ đề HEALTH
1. In what ways do you try to stay healthy?
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.
2. What are the health benefits of playing a sport?
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.
3. Do you think people pay attention to their health enough these days?
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.
Sample:
"Nowadays, the number of obese children is increasing at an alarming rate. What are some of the causes of this increase and how can the problem be solved?"
The number of children who are suffering from obesity can be said to have reached epidemic proportions. So, what are the factors behind this obesity epidemic, and how can it be brought under control. This essay will attempt to answer these pressing questions.
Firstly, it seems that a significant amount of blame can be given to poor diet combined with the marketing of unhealthy food toward young people. Children’s diets often consist of junk food, such as potato chips and candy, which is not only low in nutrients but also high in calories. This dietary issue is also compounded by the fact that these kinds of food are often marketed directly at children with fun cartoon mascots and bright colours that are designed to attract children’s attention.
Another undeniable reason is sedentary lifestyle. Children in the modern world tend to lead lives that are shockingly inactive compared to their predecessors. Much of their time is spent sitting in front of a screen, whether it be television, a computer, or a smartphone. In fact, studies have shown that children in urban environments tend to get only two hours of exercise per week compared to two hours per day just a generation ago.
Nevertheless, through concerted action by parents and governments, this worrying situation can be alleviated. In terms of diet, parents need to play a greater role in controlling what their children eat. For the government’s part, they can introduce legislation restricting the promotion of unhealthy food to children. Similarly, parents need to make a greater effort to ensure their children are getting sufficient exercise on a daily basis, while the government can launch some kind of ‘stay active’ health campaigns.
Overall, the rise in the number of obese children is certainly worrying, especially and kids are a vulnerable part of the population. However, by taking some simple practical steps, we can help to make sure that the next generation grows up healthy and strong.
