Now a days peole are realising the importance of sport for a healthier and longer life. Sport allows your body to be stronger and more resistant to different challenges. For example, if people go running they will have a better heart rate , better blood oxygenation and less dificulty in their older ages, because their body is capacitated to recist certain trials that other people who do not exercise can not. Sport can have a big affect on a persons life.

ESSAY 1

Nowadays food, sports, cooking and health have become very important in our life. Trying to instill some healthy life habits.
First of all, knowing how to cook and knowing how to cook healthily are not the same and all advertising campaigns lead to an unhealthy life, and students spend many hours watching TV.
This is the reason that, in my opinion, the school should teach about healthy cooking and teach students the real ingredients of food and how they harm our health.
Finally, I believe that it should be taught about a healthy lifestyle and not only about cooking.

THanks Andrea!
I like the ideas that you express. Let me help you with some corrections:
1 – You have used 99 words, remember that these exam tasks need 140-190 words.
2 – In the exam task, you are given a guide. 1 – speak about health 2 – speak about jobs – 3 – add your own idea. Siempre tenemos que seguir la guía del Essay para el examen de B2. En el próximo vídeo os explicaré cómo hacerlo paso a paso.

The health is more important in the life than another thing. But, to preserve it, we need to respect some rules.
Firstly, eat with healthy :
1-observe our nutrition
2-eat only three meals in a day
3-no cook vegetables so much
4-no eat much read leat, opt for the white meat.
Secondly, do sport, minimum three time in a week.
Thirdly, drink water between one o two litres in a day.
Jobs:
I need to tell about the teenagers jobs. Now, many of them need work to have more money to pay their studies, to buy lovely things, to enjoy themselves. For that, they opt for one o two jobs in the fast food, in the restaurants, in the librairy, etc…
My opinion: healthy and job constitute two things more important in the life. The relation between this two components is the base in the life. The meditation and the sport too.

Thanks for your Essay!

Good use of the expressions to order your ideas!!! Great job!

In English when we speak about something in general, like “health” (la santé) we do not use articles.
So we say— HEALTH is more important in LIFE than other things. (notice we remove “The” before “Health” and “Life”.

To give advice or recommendations remember to use the expression YOU/WE SHOULD… or YOU/ WE OUGHT TO
To eat healthy :
1- we should we should observe our nutrition.
2 – we should not cook vegetables so much

We should do sport…

When you give your opinion in the last paragaraph you can use these expressions:
I BELIEVE… IN MY OPINION….. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW….
AS I SEE IT ….

Good job!

First of all, everyone should be aware how their fitness is currently, since it will depent what kind of sport you will be able to practice. It is not the same when you are an adult, a teenager or an elderly person. This means that you ought consider your state of form in order not to injure yourself and the same time be healthy.
