weekdays = days of the week (≠ weekend)

Tell me about your health habits:

INTRODUCTION:

Do you think you are in good health or in bad health?

DIET:

What do you eat?

What should you eat? And what shouldn’t you eat?

Do you ever do to fast food restaurants?

Do you eat between meals?

How much do you spend on sweets?

EXERCISE:

Are you a couch potato?

Do you often get exercise?

Do you go to school on foot?

Should you get exercise more often?

Should you spend less time watching television?

SLEEP:

What time do you go to bed on weekdays?

How much sleep do you get on schooldays?

Do you ever feel tired?

Do you ever have nightmares?

CONCLUSION:

Should you change your health habits?

 

 

example :

My health habits:

          I think I’m in good health, but I should change my diet. I shouldn’t eat so much chocolate, and I should eat more vegetables. I spend a lot of money on sweets and snacks, and I often go to fast food restaurants when I am in America, but I don’t eat between meals very often.

    I get exercise once a week, but I should get exercise more often. I go to school on foot and by bus, but I spend a lot of time watching television. I think I spend more than twenty hours a week watching television, so I sometimes feel I am a couch potato!

    I usually go to bed at two o’clock in the morning on weekdays, so I only sleep between four and six hours a night. I don’t have nightmares, but I often feel tired. I should change my health habits, of course.
