How to Keep Healthy
Ten years ago I used to be very healthy, I went to work by bike and I got a lot of exercise at the
weekend. I played tennis a lot and went for long walks. In those days, I didn't earn very much. I had a
job in an office, which wasn't very good, but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed.
Then, about 8 years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better. But the hours were a lot
longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day, and began to take people out to lunch. And I began
to be overweight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at the weekend, because I just
didn't have any time for things like that any more. There was a lot of stress in a job like mine; perhaps
that was why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of
whisky when I got home, and then I started filling the glass to the top. Then I had another glass, and
then another. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first Ijust couldn't believe it."I'm too young and I want
to keep healthier," I said. Luckily it wasn't very serious. I was in hospital for a few days and they did
a lot of tests. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He told me to do a lot of other
things. For example, he advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven't any time!
My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something that I used to do.
But if I do that, I won't earn much. I have a family to support. I just don't know what I should do.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Later, I knew one person who really believed in keeping fit
But now her story has completely changed the way I live.
