OK.
Actually, I don’t like sport. I’d rather stay indoors reading than play sport.
That sounds good.

Reasons Examples
No time
He has to hang out with friends during the week.
Concerned about the money
No partner
School work is too much.
There are many after-school activities.
He can’t afford the classes in the nearby gym.
Swimming classes are so expensive.
Jogging along the same part every morning and repeating the same movement day after day with no one to talk is boring.
He would soon give up without a partner.

Time
Exercise can be fitted into one’s schedule.
Money
Exercise does not necessarily require money.
Company
Exercise can be done with one’s family or friends.
Speaking
In pairs, role-play a conversation between Rachel and Leo about ways Leo can make exercise a regular part of his life.
Starting a conversation
Tip
To start a conversation, you can:
Start the topic directly, e.g. We are here to discuss/talk about … Our topic today is …
Invite your partner to give his/her opinion by asking questions. Try to ask open-ended questions than yes-no questions, e.g. What do you think of… How do you feel about…
Sample
Leo: I went to see the doctor and she said I have to make exercise a regular part of my life. I know I need to exercise but I don’t have time or money. What should I do
Rachel: A few minutes a day is all it takes. Start doing small amounts of exercise whenever you can. Take the stairs instead of the lift when possible. And if you have been sitting for too long while studying, get up and dance to your favourite music.
Leo: Interesting! I can do that. But do you think I need to pay to exercise in the gym
Rachel: Not necessarily. The good news is that you don’t need money to exercise! You can go running in your community’s park or try walking to school.
Leo: Great suggestions! How do you feel about joining me I don’t want to exercise alone.
Rachel: Of course! I’ll help you get into an exercise routine if you’re serious about it.
Leo: I am! Thanks for encouraging me, Rachel. We should find other friends to join us too. What do you think of it
Rachel: That’s the best idea you’ve ever had.
Help Rachel write a reply to Leo to encourage him to work out regularly. Use your ideas from part C and the information in parts A and B to help you.

Use diagrams, such as a mind map or a flow chart, to organize your ideas. You can also make a list of the points you want to cover.
Consider the purpose of your writing and your reader, which determine your language style, formal or informal. An email to encourage a friend is usually informal.
Show your understanding with expressions such as “I’m sorry to hear that …” and end your email

Please let me know without hesitation if you need any help.
Sample
Dear Leo,
I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well recently. But the doctor is right — you do need to exercise more. I have some suggestions that you might find helpful.
First, remember that you don’t have to exercise for 30 minutes or a whole hour non-stop. Instead, try to do small amounts of exercise whenever you can. For example, try taking the stairs up to your flat instead of the lift. When you study for a long time, remember to take regular breaks. Get out of your chair and move around a bit: take a walk or practise some dance moves.
Start by showing your understanding of the situation.
Give suggestions with reasons.
Second, you don’t have to pay to exercise. Many forms of exercise can be done outside the gym. For instance, you can go running in your school playground, in the park or around your community. All you need is a pair of comfortable running shoes!
Finally, I understand that exercising alone can be boring, but you could invite your family and friends to work out with you. Encourage them to take exercise too so that you can have fun exercising together. This way, you are more likely to stick with your exercise routine.
I hope you’ll find these suggestions helpful. I’m sure you’ll soon be feeling happier and healthier.
yours truly,
Rachel
