Speaking

1. Situation 1

Read the dialogue in pairs.

S: Excuse me. Are you Harry ?

H: Yes, I am. Do I know you? I think, I have seen you before.

S: Of course. Don’t you remember me? I’m Sarah. We first met in a seminar devoted to World Health Day.

H: Oh, yea. I have nearly forgotten about it. How are you? What did you get from the seminar?

S: I did what the lecturer said. I practiced a balanced diet. I only eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also take some vitamins. What about you? Have you stopped eating junk food? You were a junk food lover, weren’t you?

H: I was. But now I realize that I feel healthier than ever after avoiding myself from eating junk food. Now I don’t get tired so easily.

S: That’s good for you. Do you know that exercising does your body good? It stimulates our heart and lungs work more efficiently. I usually work out 3 times a week. With all this, we can gain a better life with healthy body and mind.

H: That’s true, Sarah. I have to go now. I have some work to do at home. It’s really so nice to see you. Keep in touch, okay?

S: Okay. Bye.

Act the situation out.
