Part 2 高频题解析

Describe something you do to keep healthy

You should say:

What it is

How you do it

When you do it

And explain why you think it can keep you healthy

I like walking a lot because it can help me relax and appreciate my living environment. I would usually take a walk after dinner because there’s a saying in Chinese, “Walk after you dine; live to ninety nine.” It’s my pleasure to look at the beautiful blossoms at different seasons. I would usually take a walk there with my parents or friends after dinner. We could talk about what happens during the day and share our feelings. Sometimes, my dad would tell jokes to us during the walk. I’m just wondering how he could remember so many funny stories.

There’re actually quite a lot of people taking a stroll after dinner. We could see people at all age walking and talking. Sometimes, we could also see some neighbors walking their dogs. When two dogs meet, they’ll make a scene. There’ll usually be some barking and fighting among the little dogs, and then their owners have to use a lot of strength to pull them away.

I think walking is a very good habit to have because it provides the time to communicate and exercise. I hope I can continue it in the future.

备注

1. 词汇：

Walk after you dine; live to ninety nine.饭后走一走，活到九十九。

Blossom [n.]开放的花。[v.]开花。开花不可用“open”

Take a stroll 散步、漫步

Make a scene 当众大吵大闹

2. 对于体育运动、保持健康这一类话题来说，干巴巴地说“强身健体、保持心理健康”会使答案显得很苍白。同学们可以联系实际生活描述一下所见所感。对于生活中真实存在的事例的描述，我们称之为“细节”，这也是同学们能够扩充答案，使答案个性化的一个要点。
