In the exam you might be asked to describe different ways of getting fit or staying healthy. You may be asked to describe different sorts of exercise that we can take to get fit, or the sort of food we should and shouldn’t eat. In the Writing Paper, you might have to write a report recommending a health club or sports centre, an article recommending a healthier lifestyle, or a letter in which you will give advice to a friend that wants to lose weight.
