Model Answer 1:
I like to think that I am reasonably healthy and fit since I try to remain physically active as much as I can. However, there are other things that I would also like to do in the future for my good health, but they are not always the easiest of the things, unless, of course, we are talking about cycling. Yes, cycling is what I would like to do in the future in order to become even healthier.
Now, I don’t really remember when was the last time that I rode a bicycle, but I surely remember it very well that I used to really enjoy riding it when I was a child. In fact, I used to ride it for a significant part of my day, after school hours, with my friends just for the fun of it. But, little did I know back then that riding cycle was also very good for health.
Anyway, now that I know how good cycling really is for my health, I want to start cycling after a couple of months again for the purpose of getting more healthy and fit. And for that, all I need to do is to buy a nice bike and find some times out of my busy schedule to ride it. By the way, cycling is a low impact physical exercise that provides our muscle with a good workout by using all of the major muscle groups as we pedal. People call it “low impact” because it causes less strain and injuries than most other forms of exercises.
Anyway, cycling would be good for my health, primarily because it would help me burn whatever bad fat is left in my body while also increasing my stamina, strength and aerobic fitness. Besides, it would help me improve my physical and mental health greatly by allowing me to breathe some fresh air in the open while enjoying the outdoors also at the same time. So, it is time to become a child again and have some fun with cycling just like the old days!
Sample Answer 2:
I would like to start taking part in outdoor activities for the betterment of my health. And I have selected swimming for that. In fact, swimming has numerous health benefits and it also helps to keep the swimmers fit. This exercise helps people to remain healthy and fit round the day. It also improves our muscle strengths and raises the stamina level. I like this cue card topic very much and would like to thank you for the opportunity to let me talk about it. And I will answer the remaining questions in brief.
Swimming is an exercise that is not suitable for all types of people. Only who has the physical ability are able to swim. I will need the right place for swimming and have planned to become a member of The Dolphin Club here in San Francisco. I will need to follow the swimming schedule and get some proper costumes for swimming. Besides, I need to be careful while swimming as I am a fresher here.
I would like to attend the classes in the evening or on the weekends. Actually, this is not possible for me to attend the classes held in the early morning or in the afternoon as I remain busy with my professional engagements. I can manage time only in the evening or on the weekends when I do not have any tasks to do. The swimming classes are held for over one or two hours at a stretch, and this is unmanageable for me to attend those classes.
Swimming is a good form of exercise. This is the exercise that helps to make the arm-and leg-muscles stronger. It also needs the movement of the entire body at a time. So, it turns into a very good form of exercise for the swimmers. Therefore, I think this would be a good one for my health.
