<interlocutor> Ok, you please. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Morning Madam. My name is ***. And I am majoring in computer science and technology. I am a junior. And I am fond of English. And I will go abroad to further my study, so I'm now preparing for a TOEFL test. And I am particularly good at sport, especially basketball playing, especially basketball.

<interlocutor> Ok. Now that we know each other we can do some group work. First of all, I'd like to ask each of you a question. What do you usually do to keep fit? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Oh, I usually take some practice for running on morning and evening...... er I also...... keep... play volleyballs. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok. Do you think going on a diet is good for one's health? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Yes, I think it is a basic factor. In fact I think if you want to be healthy you must eat healthy food. And I I still think that besides keep a keep a diet [Pe-r] keep a healthy diet [Pe-r] er we can do some sports and do we must, and we also need to keep our mind healthy and I think our physical body will be healthy too. Thank you. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Do you think fast food is good for one's health? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Well, absolutely I don't think fast food is er is good for health. Because fast food is basically made for the purpose of quickly eating, so I think er not not too much food can be made to be quick eating food. Er maybe they are fried food, and also we cannot get obtained too much nutrition from fast food. Because because they are always fried and they are made er something especially sometimes they are too cold to eat. And they are bad for they do harm to our stomach and we cannot get too much nutrition from fast food. So I don't think fast food is a good choice. </sp3>
<interlocutor> 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 cards. </interlocutor>
<spall> Thank you. </spall>
<interlocutor> Now ***, could you please begin. *** and ***, please put your cards aside and listen to what she has to say. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Em, in my picture there are four pictures. And from the first picture I can see there are there are many foods on the desk and a boy is er is having a good a good habit to sell everything on the desk. Among the second picture I can see a woman is shopping in a in a in a supermarket. And she is picking fresh [We-ei] fresh [We-ei] fresh [We-ei] foods and vegetables. And among the third picture I can see a mum and a girl. And the girl is crying for er is crying because her mother didn't want her to eat at McDonalds. Among the fourth I can see a girl who says an apple a day keeps doctor [Mc] away. And I have comment on these pictures. Em, about the first picture I think it is er if we do like the boys, er I think it does harm to our health, because we eat we should eat proper food at proper time [Wi-ei] every day. And about and I think if we want to keep our health keep our healthy we should eat fresh [We-ei] food and vegetables. And about er fast food I think for me I don't always eat fast food er er eat fast food because I think first it is a bit expensive for me, and second and the most important of all I think it is not healthy for me to eat er to eat it every day. I think it will make me fat. And </sp2>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Ok. ***, it's your turn. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Ok. In my picture there are there are four pictures. And the first one there are two er there's a man and a woman they are jogging. And the second one is an old man he is doing Taijiquan and the third one is er three girls are doing aerobics. The fourth one is about swimming. I think doing enough er exercise will do good to our health. Because em for example, we are gradu- we are graduated [Mt] from senior middle school. And in senior middle school we er we are we have very heavy er very heavy load of heavy pressure on study. So we don't have enough time to do exercise. Because er because we are taking we are because our parents, er carefully we are take, I am sorry, excuse me. Er because why we are not got why we are not often got sick because er mainly because the parents carefully we are been taken carefully of by the parents. Er and when we when we are in university, I think always er sometimes people are getting sick and maybe er something cough because I think they are lack they are lack of exercise. Er er without your parents taking care of, you cannot get enough nutrition [P2n-s], get enough er sleep and you cannot take good care of yourself. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Ok. ***, it's your turn. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp1> In my picture there are four [Wour-ou] four [Wour-ou] pictures. In the first one there are a woman and a man, they are talking about the smoke. The man is smoking but the woman ad-advice him er not smoking. The the second one there are two men. One is sleeping the other one is staying staying up. The third the third picture a man is watching TV in in the in the desk there are too many small bad food. He is watching TV as eating some foods. The fourth [Wour-ou] picture a woman er maybe a woman is playing games. It's too late. Em, I think er smoking is harm for our health and pollute the air. </sp1>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Right. Now we all have some idea about various aspects we should consider in order to stay healthy. And I would like you to discuss this topic further and see if you can agree on which aspect is 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 most important for university students to stay healthy. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Ok. </sp3>
<sp2> Ok, I think that eating healthy food is the basic step to keep to stay healthy. So we should eat proper food at proper time [Wi-ei]. And we should choose fresh [We-ai] food and vegetables. And we should not always eat fried [Wi-ei] fried foods. That's my opinion. </sp2>
<sp3> Well, I think taking enough taking adequate physical exercises is important to keep healthy because er if one don't take er exercise he will some he will sooner or later got sick. And he will be er he will take a long time to cure his [Ms] sick. And I think no no matter what does what the exercise is it will do good to your health. Er for for me, I usually do body building, playing basketball, swimming and running. Er ?cause because of these exercises I take I do I did well it er obviously do good to health as you see I have strong muscles. I am tall and I don't got sick in the cold days especially when I have epidemic exams on this week. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp1> May I interrupt you? </sp1>
</interrupted>
<sp2> If you don't eat healthy, how can you keep how can you just do sports to stay healthy? </sp2>
<sp3> Well, I am I am not?- Well I think eating eating is important and is the basic mean. <sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp2> So you have to eat the right way, right? </sp2>
</interrupted>
<sp3> But I think only eating you should you should imagine one person just like in your picture. He eat too much and he don't do exercises he will be fat and he will got sick. How how do you explain this? </sp3>
<sp1> I think good health er healthy diet [Wi-ei] [Pe-r] and practice is important. But I think good living habit is also important to staying health healthy. </sp1>
<sp2> So don't you agree er eating healthy food is the basic step. You must, it is the base you must depend all others on that. </sp2>
<sp3> Yes. But well I I do think eating is er important is the most important, but I think </sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp2> Buy you still think others? Ok. </sp2>
</interrupted>
<sp3> You see I have friends I have two good friends. They are just, they don't do any exercise they just because the computer are is important in our dorm. They are just eating and play and surfing on the net and then sleeping. But they they have adequate sleep, they have adequate food, and they don't take extra, they don't take any exercise, and they became fat and when the when that when that epidemic er is is coming they often sick, and they often go to hospital and see doctors and they pay money, oh, that's a cost of waste of time and money. I think that </sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp2> But I still I still know a woman who is who is about in in her sixties. But since he is very healthy, but I am ask her why he stays healthy, he just say, eating healthy food, and do nothing just at home. Just she stays healthy. I don't know, I think just maybe some sports may be useful for our young youngsters and I do not know what is the fit for is fit for anyone. </sp2>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Oh, </sp3>
<sp1> I also think good living habit is important. Because you em... your living good habits will em... is the basic. </sp1>
<sp2> hum </sp2>
<sp1> Em, you sleep well. And er get up in regularly times will help you much. </sp1>
<sp2> So I think </sp2>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Right, that's the end of the discussion. Now, I'd like to ask you just one last question on the topic of staying healthy. ***, do you think that too much pressure is helpful to one's health? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp1> ... May I have </sp1>
<interlocutor> Do you think that too much pressure is helpful to one's health? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Oh, I don't think so. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Why not? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Em, too much pressure er will give a person on the mind [Wi-ei] and health. In in their mind [Wi-ei] will have a dark...... em day. When they do something they will have pressure. They don't the result will not be so good. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, ***. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Yeah. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Do you think people nowadays are more concerned about their health? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Yes. Because I think there are so competition in the society [Pe-r]. Everybody are strives so if he want to success, he must keeps keeps his body healthy just afford an important factor. If you don't keep your body healthy, how can you compete [Wm-n] with others? You will just [Wu-e] fail [Ma] and just not what you want. So I think today everyone is is concerned [Mern] with his body healthy. That's all. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Ok. ***. Now, what do you think the health conditions of our people today? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Well, I think the health conditions are well are greatly [Wea-e] improved er than that of the than we are then when we are in the past. Because in the past we don't get enough food and es-especially in some farms that er the the poor people are all over and living conditions are very low so they cannot get some enough nutritions, get enough food for our health. So they often get sick and some people may er some people were very thin and they are not they can't suffer from er anything as er anything epidemic. And now, er we are living conditions are better better improved. And people are people are people have more money to spend on food. And not only spend on food. But will children choose which one is more is green is the green one. Er I think it's a very popular [Wu-er] word. The green food is now er is it is now it is well accepted by the people because eating green food can do good do good to your health and they are not er fertilized they are not fertilized by the chemical the chemical things by the chemical things. And they are they are have to the health. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok. That's the end of the test. Thank you, everyone. </interlocutor>
<spall> Thank you. </spall>
