IELTS Speaking Part 1 topic: Health and Fitness

1. How do you maintain your health?

Well, regarding physical health, I would say hitting the gym is my top priority. Trying to go to the gym, lifting weight, doing cardio or simply just taking a short run on a treadmill will help you to maintain your body’s physique. For my mental health, reading books is always the best stress relief method for me.

• To hit the gym: đến phòng tập gym 
• Lift weight: nâng tạ, tập tạ 
• To do cardio: thực hiện chuỗi bài tập cardio
• Physique: thể hình 
• Stress relief: giảm stress

2. Which do you consider more important: eating healthy or exercising regularly?

I’m kind of a sporty person and by saying that, I’m really into sports, from swimming, trekking to football. So my answer would be doing exercise regularly. My daily routine is always filled with at least 1 or 2 hours playing sports. However, there is no denying that a balanced diet also plays an essential role in terms of staying healthy.

• To be into something: thích một cái gì đó
• Daily routine: thói quen hàng ngày

3. What is the most popular sport in your country?

Football, of course and I believe that not only in Vietnam but also all around the world, football is considered as the king sport. We love playing football, watching football and sharing the moment when our national selection team wins a tournament.

• National selection team: đội tuyển quốc gia

IELTS Speaking part 2 topic Describe a time when you were ill

Well, if my memory serves me well, that was 3 years ago when I had a terrible experience with food poisoning. It was a late Friday night, I was having a small party with some of my homies. We had some beers and seafood served with salad. Suddenly, I felt under the weather. My face started to turn pale and lucky for me, one of my friends recognized that there was something wrong with me and he shouted out to check whether I was okay or not. Of course the party was shut down immediately with no hesitation.

My friends took turns to take care of me. One friend grabbed me a cup of water while 2 other friends had to carry me to somewhere better to get some fresh air. You know, it was a small ,crowded restaurant with loud music, faded lights so it could be worse to keep staying there. They carried me out and let me sit on the side of the street. I, in fact, didn’t remember anything because I was so uncomfortable at that time. One tended to call an ambulance but we both agreed that some medicine would be fine. So they helped me to the closest pharmacy and I was diagnosed to have food poisoning.

I ended up vomiting and you know there are some cases that after vomiting, you will be way better because that is the very first natural reaction to eliminate poisonous substances out of the body. The day after I had to take a sick leave and tons of medicine. It took me 2 days to completely recover. What a remarkable party!

• If my memory serves me well: theo tôi nhớ thì 
• Under the weather: cảm thấy không khỏe 
• Turn pale: bị tái 
• Hesitation: sự chần chừ 
• Take turn: thay phiên
• Cary somebody: dìu một ai đó 
• Pharmacy: hiệu thuốc
• Diagnose: chẩn đoán
• vomit : nôn mửa 
• Poisonous substance: chất độc 
• Sick leave: nghỉ ốm

IELTS Speaking Part 3 topic: Health and Fitness

1. Do you believe people currently allocate enough attention to their health?

It’s a no for me. With a fast-paced lifestyle, people now have less time to take care of their health. Fast food, sugary drinks are becoming more preferable than homemade food or organic juices. Not only because junk food always tastes better and healthy food but also they barely have time to prepare meals before going to work. Moreover, after a hard working day, all we want is just laying on bed and surfing the social network, instead of hitting the gym.

• Fast-paced lifestyle: nhịp sống hối hả 
• Sugary drinks: nước ngọt 
• Homemade food: đồ ăn nấu tại nhà 
• Organic: hữu cơ

2. How can youngsters be educated about maintaining a healthy lifestyle?

Children should be trained to stay healthy both at school and at home. For their physical health, parents and teachers should encourage their kids to find fun outdoors, not on the phone. More and more children are addicted to electrical devices, which means less outdoor activities. For their mental health, spending time cooking with their moms or having family conversation during dinners is a must to have a healthy mind.

• Electrical device: thiết bị điện tử
• Addict to something: nghiện một cái gì đó
• Mental health: sức khỏe tinh thần

3. Should the government exercise more oversight over manufacturers of unhealthy foods?

Well it could be unfair for food manufacturers if the government decides to issue more policies regarding junk food. Instead, raising public awareness can be an alternative solution. Since no one can protect our health better than ourselves, it is important for each individual to be well-aware of what they are consuming daily.

• Well-aware: có nhận thức
