Part 3 – IELTS Speaking: Keeping Fit and Healthy

• How should children be educated about the importance of maintaining good health?

Well, I think that kids mostly are not aware of maintaining good health and also they don’t develop that preference for an aesthetically pleasing physique yet. But we could help children to form good eating and exercise habits from a very young age. Those two are the key elements for overall physical wellbeing.

• How can governments play a role in this?

From my point of view, the government should promote more physical activities in educational institutions throughout the country. Personally, the government should put emphasis on making PE class more enjoyable than how it is now. For instance, many students in Vietnam are intimidated by such challenging PE exams that those students tend to shy away from participating in physical activities outside the class.

• What are the negative impacts, if any, of technological advances on the lifestyles of people nowadays?

Technological advances are turning people into sedentary lifestyles. Many young people spend all day scrolling through social media or playing video games on their smartphones and don’t go outdoors doing exercises or playing sports which would lead to them developing spine diseases such as disc herniation. Moreover, with the booming of delivery services, a lot of people prioritize ordering takeaway food over preparing home-cooked meals themselves. I find it worrying when it comes to eating out because I don’t have a clue what they put in the food. It could be very high in saturated fat which is why cooking your own food is the way to go.

• Should unhealthy products be banned? If so, then how?

I mean every food nowadays is pretty much considered unhealthy to some extent because even if you prepare your own meal, the ingredients are mostly not organic and contaminated with chemicals and pesticides. So if you were to ban all the unhealthy food available, there would be nothing left to eat. In addition, the food and beverage industry is willing to prioritize profits over people’s health.

For example, those sandwiches which are packaged in the supermarket can last up to weeks compared to traditional bread because they are loaded with tons of preservatives. And people deliberately take these junk foods despite being aware of they causing many health problems. For instance, coca-cola is pumping out millions of bottles of coke every day to satisfy the needs of ignorant citizens. It’s a matter of supply and demand, if people stop buying all the unhealthy food and only shop for organic alternatives, the industry will follow without strict regulations from the government.
