Bài mẫu:
There are many activities for you to keep healthy such as jogging, cycling or doing yoga. And the activity which I would like to talk about is jogging. I go jogging in the morning with my dad, who has never missed his jogging in his life. We often do it in the park near our house. I go jogging for a lot of reasons. First, it helps me to lose weight. I myself used to be very fat, but now I am fitter due to jogging regularly. Secondly, jogging also improves immune function in your body. When you exercise, the white blood cells and antibodies are responsible for immune function, help the blood circulate better and protect the body from infectious diseases. Last but not least, it is said to improve your psychological well-being. It can help reduce your risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. In conclusion, jogging is one of the most effective forms of exercise. Practice it for a healthy body! |
Có nhiều hoạt động giúp bạn duy trì sức khỏe như chạy bộ, đạp xe hoặc tập yoga. Và hoạt động mà tôi muốn nói đến chính là chạy bộ. Tôi thường chạy bộ vào buổi sáng với bố tôi, người chưa từng bỏ lỡ việc chạy bộ trong đời. Chúng tôi thường chạy bộ trong công viên gần nhà. Tôi chạy bộ vì nhiều lý do. Đầu tiên, nó giúp tôi giảm cân. Bản thân tôi đã từng rất béo, nhưng bây giờ thân hình tôi thon gọn hơn do chạy bộ thường xuyên. Thứ hai, chạy bộ cũng giúp cải thiện chức năng miễn dịch trong cơ thể bạn. Khi bạn tập thể dục, các tế bào bạch cầu và kháng thể chịu trách nhiệm về chức năng miễn dịch giúp máu lưu thông tốt hơn và bảo vệ cơ thể tránh được các bệnh truyền nhiễm. Cuối cùng, nó được coi là cách cải thiện tâm lý cho bạn, giúp bạn giảm nguy cơ suy giảm nhận thức và chứng mất trí. Tóm lại, chạy bộ là một trong những hình thức tập luyện hiệu quả nhất. Hãy tập luyện nó để có một cơ thể khỏe mạnh nhé! |

Read the following passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.
Smoking is one of the biggest causes of death and illness in the UK. Every year around 78,000 people in the UK die from smoking and many more live with smoking-related illnesses. It increases your risk of developing more than 50 serious health conditions. Some may be fatal, and others can cause irreversible long-term damage to your health. You can become ill if you smoke yourself or if people around you smoke (passive smoking). Smoking causes around 7 out of every 10 cases of lung cancer (70%). It also causes cancer in many other parts of the body, including the throat or voice box (larynx). Moreover, smoking damages your heart and your blood circulation, increasing your risk of developing conditions such as coronary heart disease and heart attack. Breathing in secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoking, increases your risk of getting the same health conditions as smokers. For example, if you have never smoked but you have a spouse who smokes, your risk of developing lung cancer increases by about a quarter. Babies and children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of secondhand smoke. A child who’s exposed to passive smoke is at increased risk of developing chest infection, meningitis, persistent cough and, if they have asthma, their symptoms will get worse.
