Dr Chen: Hello, Leo. What’s the matter ?
Leo: I’ve got a cold. I’ve been suffering from a headache and a runny nose for several days.
Dr Chen: Does this happen a lot ?
Leo: Yes. Also, I find it difficult to fall asleep at night. So I’m always tired during the day, and I often find it hard to concentrate at school.
Dr Chen: I see. Tell me, in the last two months, have you been eating healthily ?
Leo: Well, not really. I’ve been eating a lot of fast food recently.
Dr Chen: Why not try a healthier diet? It’ll help your body grow stronger.
Leo: OK.
Dr Chen: How about exercise? Do you do any sport?
Leo: Actually, I don’t like sport. I’d rather stay indoors reading than play sport.
Dr Chen: Well, many teenagers today don’t feel like playing sport. But it would

be good for you to be more active, that is, to do some exercise. This will strengthen your immune system so you can fight off illness. Exercise will also burn energy, so you’ll feel tired, and sleep better at night.
Leo: That sounds good.
Dr Chen: And it’ll be even better if you can choose an activity like swimming or jogging to do twice a week. You know, aerobic exercise helps improve brain functions. That may help you concentrate.
Leo:(unenthusiastically) OK, I understand.
Dr Chen: Take this medicine twice a day. If you still feel uncomfortable, come back and see me in one week, OK? But over the long term, you need to improve your lifestyle. That’ll make a difference.
Leo: Thanks, doctor.

Checking your writing
Dear Leo,
I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well recently. But the doctor is right—you do need to exercise more. I have some suggestions that you might find helpful.
Start by showing your understanding of the situation.
Sample
First, try to do small amounts of exercise whenever you can. For example, try taking the stairs up to your flat instead of the lift. Second, you don’t have to pay to exercise. For instance, you can go running in your school playground, in the park or around your community. All you need is a pair of comfortable running shoes! Finally, I understand that exercising alone can be boring, but you can invite your family and friends to work out with you. Encourage them to take exercise too so that you can have fun exercising together. This way, you are more likely to stick with your exercise routine.
Give suggestions with reasons.
I hope you’ll find these suggestions helpful. I’m sure you’ll soon be feeling happier and healthier.
Yours truly,
Rachel
End the email by offering encouragement.
Keep moving! Nothing is impossible to a willing heart!
