W thank you for agreeing to take this interview. I know you are quite a busy man.
M I am always happy to talk to people and answer questions from the audience.
W that is very nice to hear. People are calling you the world?s healthiest man. What do you think about that?
M what do I think? I think people are being very kind to me by saying so. I don?t think I am the healthiest man in the world, but I do take my health seriously. I exercise every day, running, swimming, and lifting
weights.
W you certainly look great!
M thanks. Better than that, though, I feel great. Exercise makes me happy, keeps my stress level down, and gives me all sorts of energy for my work and family.
W do you have any special words for the audience? M yes. Start exercising today, and start living a better life. Listening
10 short conversations
1. W wow！ You look great! What have you been doing to look so good?
M I have been lifting weights. I really feel great. Strange, but it hardly took anytime at all before I started seeing improvements in my body.
2. M can you help me open this bottle? Someone put the cap on too tight.
W sure thing! Umm…there! Hey, that wasn?t tight at all! You really need to work out a little more and build up your strength!
3. M I just don?t know what I am going to do about my energy level! No matter what I do, I always feel tired!
W here?s an idea: since you have already been exercising a lot
with no result, maybe you can change your diet.
4. M I?d really like to begin an exercise program, but I simply don?t know how to begin.
W I?ve spoken to a doctor about it. I will tell you what you told me: start off with a little bit of running and then do more and more every day.
5. M I?ve been feeling terrible lately. Do you think exercise could help me?
W I can?t say for sure. It probably wouldn?t hurt, but exercise can?t cure all of your problems.
6. W you always do so well in your classes!
M running gives me energy to stay up late into the night. This allows me to study more. Do the same and run with me tomorrow! 7. M there?s a strange limp in your walk. Did you pull a muscle or something?
W nah. I just feel a bit tired from all of the exercise I?ve been doing at the gym. I?ll return to normal in just a moment.
8. M have you seen how much weight Angela?s put on? Why do you think she stopped exercising and started eating such unhealthy foods? W it is a sad story. Her parents got divorced, and now she is totally ignored her health.
9. W hello? Are you the person I talked to on the phone about
checking in for an appointment?
M yes. Just sign your name on this piece of paper, and the doctor will see you as soon as he is free.
10. W I?ve been so very worried, and I don?t have a clue as to why I?ve been so sick.
M try not to worry too much. Do some running, see me in a week, and let me know if things change. I?ll run some tests on you if you are still not feeling well.
Understanding a long conversation
M hey! Hold up! Can you spare a minute? W ugh, do you think you can make it quick?
M I?ll only need a minute, and then you can return to your run. W fine, what?s up?
M Ma and Pa asked me to talk to you about all the exercising you?ve been doing. They told me I could find you here at the school track.
W so what of it?
M they think you?ve been doing a bit too much.
W you know what the doctor said---if I don?t get active, I could die of a heart attack.
M yeah, but I don?t think he meant for you to do so much. You
