英文原版对话1000个:740 Staying Healthy

Todd: OK, Keren, we're talking about health¹. And, first of all, do you do anything to stay in shape? Like do you exercise or belong² to a gym³ or anything?

Keren: At the moment, I don't belong to a gym but I go jogging⁴. Usually I go jogging four times a week, and I always go in the morning because for me it's the best time to exercise because it keeps me awake⁵ all day, but at the moment I don't do any other exercise.

Todd: Wow, just the running⁶.

Keren: Just the running.

Todd: Yeah, well, that's pretty good that you get up and go running in the morning, I have a hard time like running early in the morning.

Keren: Yeah, I think it's easy in the summer because it's really light and the weather's better but in the winter I find it really difficult and actually⁷ the last few⁸ weeks I've stopped jogging.

Todd: It's OK, I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm in the same boat... OK, so let's change the talk to diet⁹.

Keren: OK.

Todd: Do you have a healthy diet?

Keren: Reasonably healthy. I'm semi-vegetarian so I don't eat meat. I only eat fish and I eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but I also like my junk¹⁰ food and usually once a day I eat either¹¹ potato chips¹² or cake, so yeah, I have a balanced¹³ diet.

Todd: And lastly, do you do anything else to stay healthy? Like for example, do you do yoga or do you meditate¹⁴ or do you get so many hours of sleep night?

Keren: It would¹⁵ be great if I could¹⁶ get eight hours sleep a night but I don't and I don't do yoga. I actually find walking very relaxing¹⁷ and usually when I'm at home in Britain¹⁸ I walk a lot.

Todd: OK, thanks a lot Keren.

Keren: That's OK.
