Staying active

B2 First · Speaking Collaborative · Cambridge Ready original exercise

Talk with your partner about the ideas in the mind map for about two minutes. Then spend about a minute deciding something together.

Now I'm going to ask you to work as a pair for a couple of minutes. Here you'll see some ways of making exercise part of everyday life, and a question for you to talk about. Take a moment to look at them before you start.

Staying active

walking or cycling to school

joining a sports club

taking the stairs

exercising with a friend

following online workouts

Now, take about a minute and try to agree which idea would work best for people who don't enjoy sport.

Now, talk together about how easy it would be to fit each of these into everyday life.

How can people make exercise part of their everyday life?
