Getting Healthy
Read how James changed his life to become healthy. An A2 reading story with past, present and future, key words and questions.
Six months ago, James was not healthy. He never did any exercise, and he ate fast food almost every day. He often felt tired, and he did not sleep well at night. One day, his doctor gave him some important advice. “You need to change your lifestyle,” she said.
James decided to make some changes. Now, he walks for thirty minutes every morning before work. He has also joined a gym near his house, and he goes there three times a week. He does not eat fast food any more. Instead, he cooks fresh meals with vegetables, rice and fish at home.
The changes were difficult at first, but now James feels much better. He has more energy, and he sleeps well every night. Next month, he is going to run in a 5-kilometre race with his friends. James is proud of himself. He says that anyone can become healthy if they really want to. It is never too late to start.
