Engaging  in  regular  physical  activity  is  essential  for  maintaining  good  .  It  not  only  helps  in  reducing  the  risk  of  chronic  diseases  such  as  heart  disease  and  diabetes  but  also  improves  mental  health,  ,  and  quality  of  sleep.  For  adults,  it  is  recommended  to  accumulate  at  least  150  minutes  of  moderate-intensity  activity  per  week,  such  as  brisk    or  cycling.  Remember,  incorporating  different  types  of  activities  can  help  keep  your  exercise  routine  interesting  and  cover  all  aspects  of  fitness,  including  strength,  ,  and  endurance.

Correct answer: health

Explanation: Listen for "maintaining good health". It comes after "maintaining good", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "health" means the state of your body and mind.

Wrong options:

  • heath: It leaves out the "l". Write "health". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • wealth: This is a different word about money or riches, not body condition.
Correct answer: mood

Explanation: On the recording you hear "improves mental health, mood, and". The sentence needs a word for a feeling.

Meaning: "mood" means the way someone feels at a time.

Wrong options:

  • moods: "moods" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "mood", with no "s".
Correct answer: walking

Explanation: Listen again to "such as brisk walking or cycling". You need an action word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "walking" means moving on your feet at a steady pace.

Wrong options:

  • walk: "walk" is missing the ending. The speaker says "walking", with "ing" at the end.
Correct answer: flexibility

Explanation: Here you hear "including strength, flexibility, and endurance". It comes after 'including', so you need a word for a thing that ends in ity.

Meaning: "flexibility" means the ability to bend and move easily.

Wrong options:

  • flexibilty: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "flexibility". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • flexible: "flexible" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "flexibility", which ends in "ility".
