    Tips to answer this Cue Card

    1: Vague Descriptions

    Using vague language can make your answer unclear. Avoid general statements that do not provide specific details about the activity you do to keep fit.

    bulb icon

    Tip

    Be specific about the activity. Instead of saying 'I exercise,' say 'I go jogging in the park every morning.'

    2: Lack of Personal Connection

    Failing to connect the activity to your personal experience can make your response less engaging. Candidates should share their feelings and experiences related to the activity.

    bulb icon

    Tip

    Include personal anecdotes. For example, mention how you felt after a workout or why you enjoy doing it with friends.

    Ignoring Health Benefits

    Not explaining why the activity is healthy can weaken your answer. Candidates should highlight the health benefits to demonstrate understanding.

    bulb icon

    Tip

    Clearly state the health benefits. For instance, say 'Jogging improves my cardiovascular health and boosts my mood.'

    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    I am not a fitness enthusiastic, but before 2025, once in a blue moon, I used to go on a walk or to do some exercise or yoga. Since I have been indulged in a lot of junk food or processed food lately, I thought I should take care of myself. So 2025 goal, my 2025 goal was to be fit as a fiddle and I started waking up early in the morning and me and my mother, we both go on a morning walk every single day. We walk there for half an hour and in the park where we go, there is a yoga and meditation area where they help people to meditate and do yoga exercise to keep them fit. Additionally, I have been cutting down all the junk food before I used to eat every single day. Now I eat only once a week. Moreover, I have also cut down on my sugar. I hardly consume any sugary food or sugary drinks, especially the Coke. Even if it is diet, I don't consume it as sugar is one of the major reasons for all the health problems which is faced nowadays. It is very important to limit the sugar. So I have completely cut down on sugar. Also the salt, I have been using a very less salt, which is also a problem that has given rise to many BP problems. So sugar and salt has been completely cut it down. I go on to meditate and morning walk, which gives me fresh energy and makes my day hold better.
