Health (Unit 27).

Nice to meet you. I am Lewis. Let’s speak about health. Health is an essential part of our life. I can give you some advice that can improve your life. If you’ve put on weight and want to lose it, you should think carefully about what food you buy. You shouldn’t eat junk food, you have to exercise regularly and drink 2 liters of water every day. For example, if I’m overweight I try to be on a diet. I eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Since I cut down on eating fast food and chocolate, my weight has gone down by several kilos. I wish I did more exercises to be slim, but I haven’t got time. I want to relax more bur my job is very stressful. I would like to reduce working hours but I have too much to do. So, staying healthy can be difficult when you sit at work all day.

It is also important to give up all your bad habits. For example, my father wants to stop smoking because smoking is very bad for the lungs. But he is on 40 a day, because he always gets stressed. As for my mother, she is a very relaxed person. She is a vegetarian and doesn’t eat meat. My mother doesn’t spend all her time working and has a good work-life balance. So, she never gets tense. Besides, she doesn’t go to bed too late and gets a good night’s rest. I would like to be as laid back as my mom.

The trends in economy (Unit 29).

Hello! My name is Frank. I work in sales for Bayer, the German chemicals company. I help to develop sales for the north European part of our business. We’ve had many changes in the last few years and my work has increased a lot. But it’s very interesting and I enjoy it.

Last year was a very lucky year for our company. We increased our sales and, more important, our market share went up a little, so we reached our target. The most important thing in business is to reach the target. But I have to say that competition in my business area is very strong now. You can see that with prices. Though some of our product prices decreased a little last year, at the moment it is rather difficult because of political problems in the world. We should strengthen the economy in Germany because prices have risen a lot. For example, petrol prices and typical supermarket goods are very high.

Last year the turnover of our company increased but now it went down by 2 million €. As a fact, inflation rose by 2 % so far this year. Last year taxes and bank interest rates fell by 0,5 %, but now they have already increased a lot.A lot of factories were closed, people lost their jobs, so unemployment went up. It is a real problem, because it's difficult to find work and I think it will be a long time before we see unemployment go down.
