Conversation about Healthy Lifestyle

Here is a list of 10 discussion questions with sample answers for practicing English speaking with your language partner.

 

  • Do you think you have a healthy lifestyle? Why?

Hmm, it’s a work in progress! I try to eat well, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. But, I definitely have moments where I slip up! I’m always learning new things about healthy living, and I’m trying to make healthier choices every day.

 

  • Is it possible to have a healthy lifestyle in the modern world? Explain. 

Absolutely! It can be challenging with all the temptations around, but it’s definitely achievable.There are so many resources available now to help people make healthy choices. It’s about finding a balance and making conscious decisions to prioritize your health.

 

  • Why do many people try to have a healthy lifestyle? Explain.

Many people try to have a healthy lifestyle for a lot of reasons. Some people want to improve their physical health, while others want to boost their mental and emotional well-being. Others want to increase their energy levels, improve their sleep, or manage their weight.  Whatever the reason, healthy living can have a huge impact on our lives.

 

  • What is healthy food? Give examples.

Healthy food is food that provides our bodies with the nutrients they need to function properly. It’s about eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

 

  • Do you pay much attention to what you eat? Why or why not?

I definitely pay attention to what I eat. I try to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients and that I’m not overindulging in unhealthy foods.  It’s a constant work in progress, but I believe it’s important to be aware of what I’m putting into my body.

 

  • Do you think it is more important for you to eat healthy or tasty food? Why? 

I’d say it’s important to find a balance between eating healthy and tasty food. There are so many delicious and nutritious foods out there, so we don’t have to sacrifice flavor for health. I try to find ways to make healthy food taste good, and sometimes I allow myself to enjoy a treat if I’m really craving it. It’s all about moderation and making conscious choices!

 

  • Do you have a snack every time you are hungry or do you wait for lunch or dinner? Why?

I usually try to wait for lunch or dinner. I know it’s better for my body to eat regular meals rather than snacking throughout the day.  But, I have to admit, I’m not always perfect! Sometimes I’ll have a small snack if I’m feeling really hungry, but I try to make it something healthy like a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts.

 

  • Do you agree with the saying: “Eat your breakfast, share your lunch with a friend and give your dinner to your enemy”? Why do people say so?

I’ve heard that saying before! It’s a popular one. People say it because they believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s supposed to provide us with the energy we need to start our day.  Some people also say that eating a healthy breakfast can help with weight management and improve concentration.

 

  • What are the most efficient ways to lose/gain weight? Explain. 

The most efficient ways to lose or gain weight are to make sustainable lifestyle changes. That means eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. There are no quick fixes or magic solutions. It’s about finding a plan that works for you and sticking with it.

 

  • Do you think diets are useful or not? Explain why.

I’m not a big fan of diets. I think they’re often restrictive and not sustainable in the long term. If you want to make lasting changes to your body and your health, it’s better to focus on healthy eating habits and regular exercise rather than following a strict diet.
