Essential Vocabulary for Part 2

Look at the cue card and the sample answer below.











SAMLL AnSWL8

Im going to talk about an activity that I really enjoy -- jogging. I go jogging in a
park which is about 2 kilometres from my home. I go jogging there because the air is
a bit cleaner than in my neighbourhood.

I usually run for about 4 to 5 kilometres and I always go by myself. I try to do this
activity every morning, although occasionally I get lazy and decide to skip it. In the
spring, I sometimes go jogging in the evening after work, because the weather is
fresh.

I really enjoy this activity because it keeps me fit. On top of that, because my job can
be very stressful sometimes, jogging also helps me to relax and think more clearly
when I am at work. What else? Oh yes, it also motivates me to stay healthy in
general. For example it motivates me to eat a balanced diet. So Id recommend this
activity to anyone.

Here are some sentences with more advanced words and structures (in bold), which
