<interlocutor> Ok, Xiao He, do you think fast food is good for one's health? </interlocutor>
<sp3> uh, To tell you the truth, I hate fast food. I'm a very regular person. So I always keep regularity in my life. I never eat fast food such as uh fast noodles, um and Macdonald's [Pl-r]. I hate Macdonald's [Pl-r]. I think I I spend a lot of money and I can't after eating it I'm hungry I'm still hungry. And I think fast food is harmful to your body. And so I always eat uh regular meals. Thank you. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, now let's move on to something more specific. The topic for our discussion today is staying healthy. Each of you will be given a card with four pictures showing an important aspect that we should consider in order to stay healthy. I'd like you to describe the pictures briefly and comment on them. You will have one minute to prepare. And each of you will have one and a half minutes to give your presentation. Don't worry if I interrupt you when time is up. Now here are your pictures. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Ok. </sp1>
<sp2> Thank you. </sp2>
<sp3> Thanks. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, now ***, would you please begin? *** and Xiao He, please put your cards aside and listen to what she has to say. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Ya, in my picture fist to keep healthy we must we can't we can't smoke. Ya, no smoking especially in public in public place. If in public place you're somebody is smoking, we should stop him. Because others will be affected by the by the smoke so others will be ill. And [Pd-er] in fact in my own opinion I I didn't appreciate the smokers. Because they not only make make themselves ill but also the others. And in my second picture uh we uh I I can see that if we want to if we want to be healthy we have to have regular time to uh to go to to go to sleep, and to get up. But in fact in my daily life, I can't I can't do that. Because [Pau-r] because my study my study task is a little heavy so I have to er sleep a little late, in in ten o'clock. Maybe eleven o'clock or a little later in the weekend because maybe we have some entertainment and watch a little TV. Ya and er we can I I also I can't keep the time to get up at six o'clock because I am a little lazy. And To uh to keep my keep keep my sleeping time full, maybe I get up at seven o'clock. But I get used to it so I think it's ok. It it won't affect my health. And I in the third picture, um it tell it tell me that if we want to keep health if we want to be healthy we can't watch TV too much. And because watching TV too much will affect your eyes. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Sorry, time is up. ***, it's your turn. </interlocutor>
<sp2> My pictures are mainly about diet. The boy in the first picture is very happy and he eats a lot of food. The whole table was empty. And in the second picture a girl was the girl is was crying for Macdonald's. But her mother just forced her away from the Macdonald's. And the third picture a woman picked a lot of vegetable and milk in the supermarket. And the girl in the fourth picture ate apple very happy and and she said an apple a day will keep doctors away. I've heard I've heard the sentence in a song by ? mn in my point of view I think we should eat regularly and always eat some vegetables and milk and what's more impor what's more important is that mn we follow the the suggestion of the nutrition's pyramid that make the carbohydrate most and the oil ?? least. And I don't the Macdonald's and fast food is a disaster to our life. We think I think we seldom eat them we didn't we don't eat them every time every meal [Wea-ei]. That's ok, I think. That's all. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Ok, Xiao He, it's your turn. </interlocutor>
<sp3> First, let me des let me describe my picture. My picture is about the importance for adequate physical exercise. It shows me several four kinds of exercise-exercises. The first one is jogging. I think jogging is a very good kind of exercise. For every morning when you get up, you can breathe some fresh air in the outside. And the second one is Taijiquan. And I think it's a kind of exercise which is fit to the old aged people. And the third one is gyms. Mn You see a lot of young people like gyms after a tired day of work or study. Mn They may go to the gyms to do some aerobics. And after doing it they feel refreshed. Mn and a lot of people use this kind of exercise to keep fit. The fourth one is swimming. I think swimming is a exer- is an exercise which needs a lot of strength. And it can build your muscles. Mn Then let me give my comment on this picture. I think as for our university students we don't have we don't have a lot of time to do exercise [S3]. So I prefer jogging very much. You see, I always stay up late into the night to study. So the next morning I can't get up too early just like what *** has said. So mn I I only do some jogging jogging at noon or after supper. Mn I think Taijiquan Taijiquan is not fit for our young our youth. Sometimes I do some aerobics to refresh myself. Mn Every summer vacation I will go to swimming with my parents. I think it have give me. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Sorry, time is up. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Uh. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Now we all have some idea of various aspects we should consider in order to stay healthy. Now I'd like you to discuss this topic further and see if you can agree on which aspect is the most important for university students to stay healthy. During the discussion you may argue with each other or ask each other questions to clarify a point. You will have about four and a half minutes for the discussion. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion. Remember during the discussion you should try to come to an agreement on which aspect is the most important for university students to stay healthy. </interlocutor>
<sp3> I think *** our topic is very proper for you for you study medicine. So you must have a lot of opinions to tell us. </sp3>
<sp2> Yes, in my point of view I think the daily exercises is contribute the most to our health. Because in our university we all have high burden [Wur-o] a heavy burden of study. So we don't have time to we don't have regularly regularly daily life. So and I think most in the dining room the food is not so healthy for us to eat. And I think I think the exercise is very important. </sp2>
<sp3> I think I'm kind of I'm kind of I'm not so agreeful with you. First, I think regular life is more important than exercise. For me I don't have a lot of time to exercise but I'm the most healthy one in my dormitory because [Pau-r] I keep a very regular life. Every morning I get up at 6:30 and [Pd-er] when my roommates are just hurry hurry hurry eating some fast food like fast noodles. I'm go to the cafe go to the dining room to have my breakfast. And I always go go to bed early not so early maybe eleven o'clock. But I think it's early for our university students. And mn I think I never stay up stay e too too late up into the night. And mn I think my method is healthier than you. </sp3>
<sp1> Ya, I agree with Xiao He. But I think sometimes it is difficult to do so like you. Ya but I think a good uh healthy psycho-psychological mind is very important. Ya you have to keep your mind healthy, ya, because [Wau-er] I know that many of my classmates they feel nervous. They feel nervous and have a </sp1>
<interrupted>
<sp3> They can't have a good sleep. </sp3>
</interrupted>
<sp1> Ya, have a heavy burden of study. So many times they complain to me that 'Oh, my god, I'm too ya I'm too tired.' But I don't think her body is tired, but her mind. They just feel tired. </sp1>
<sp2> I don't think so. I just believe that if you have a regularly life everyday... you just maintain your health level everyday. But if you have exercise, you strength you you body, you heart, and you lung, other part of your body will will be better and work more more. </sp2>
<sp2> Ya </sp2>
<sp3> Ya </sp3> 
<sp1> ??? Each other. Ya. </sp1>
<sp3> But my purpose is only to maintain health. </sp3>
<sp2> but if you only maintain health, your health will easily interrupt by sometimes by er... </sp2>
<sp3> Then I can go to hospital to find you to cure me. If if if my health isn't interrupted, then you're the people who have career careers like you doctors will lose your job [Wo-er]. </sp3>
<sp1> And the good condition the good condition in your mind is very important. Because if you have some bad conditions in your body, you can go to the doctor and fetch some medicine to cure you. But if if you have some uh some diseases or a kind of unfitness in your mind, it's difficult. </sp1>
<sp3> But you see our topic is how to keep physical health I think. I think physical health if you have good physical health, that demonstrate that you have good psychological health. For you see, I'm a regular person, that shows I have a peaceful mind. </sp3>
<sp1> Ya, maybe. </sp1>
<sp2> I also think that if we do exercise from now, it will do good to our whole life because your muscle and your blood vessel is very strong. When you growing old, there will few disease. </sp2>
<sp3> Ya. </sp3>
<sp1> Ya, then your mind will will become better? </sp1>
<sp2> Yes and Everything is better when you health will strong. </sp2>
<sp1> Ye, ye. </sp1>
<sp3> So we should have a regular life, and having enough exercise and keep an active mind? </sp3>
<sp1> Ye, I think so. Uh the psycho-psychological health is important but maybe not so important as you mentioned. </sp1>
<sp3> Ya. </sp3>
<sp2> I also think do some sport will contribute to mind because you if you like sports you'll see some competition, you'll know some some success, will feel some failure. </sp2>
<sp1> Ya. </sp1>
<sp3> But I never have time to have sports. So I just keep a regular life. </sp3>
<sp1> Ye, that that's ok. </sp1>
<sp3> I'm I'm an optimistic girl. Just as you see I think mind gives me a lot of strength. </sp3>
<sp2> And also hope you if you have some time you should do some exercise. </sp2>
<sp1> Yes, that's that's better. </sp1>
<sp3> Yes, of course I'll try my best. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, that's the end of the discussion. Now I'd like to ask you just one last question on the topic staying healthy. ***, </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yea. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Do you think too much pressure is harmful to one's health? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yes, I think so. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Why? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Because if your mind have so so much burden, you the burden will affect your body, will affect your digestion, or your sleeping, maybe your your food. Your eating, your eating your diet. I think so. It will affect your mind. Your concentration, or your your nerve. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, *** what do you think university authorities can do to improve the health of students? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Mn... first I think they should... the run the run of class should change. They don't shouldn't have so much class on the early morning. They should give some time for the students to do some exercises in the morning. And I also think that they should they should give the students more more space like some playing yards to, playing square for them to playing some sports. That's all. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Ok, sorry Xiao He, do you think people nowadays are more concerned about their health? </interlocutor> 
<sp3> Yes, I think so. For we see with the development of of society people's life has become more and more richer and richer. But we have a lot of rich illness just as fat just as too fat just as too fatness and so on. I think my father my mother and I concerned more about our health than ten years ago. You see, my father is a very regular person. Every morning at 5:30 he will get up to have some exercise. And my mother after work he will go to go to gyms go to gyms to have a lot of sports. I sometimes I will go to play table tennis. And a lot of my classmates all concerned their health more than before for for they have realize that one who want [Wa-ae] to keep a good enterprise must first love his health for if you doesn't have good health you will achieve nothing. So a lot of person are are are spend are spare time are sparing time to do some exercises. Thank you. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, this is the end of the test. Thank you, everybody. </interlocutor>
<spall> Thank you. </spall>
