F = Finn

Part 1

F: Often it’s hard to find a time to exercise when you have a full-time job. Lots of my

friends belong to gyms but I prefer to go running outside to keep fit. How about you?

What do you do to keep fit?

M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.

Part 2

M1: Uh … I do quite a few things actually. Um, I go to the gym quite regularly. I go

for runs. Er, I’m also a little bit involved in the sport of rowing. So, I’m down there

quite a bit. I coach, actually coach rowing as well.

W1: I have three children, and I work full-time. And I don’t have a lot of time to do

any extra organized exercise.

W2: Er, the main thing I do is I do practice yoga, that incorporates different positions

as well as meditation, and different breathing techniques.

M2: Usually, I ride my bike, like I got here. And I go to the gym more or less three to

four times a week. And I also watch what I eat.

W3: I dance, and I do yoga – and I just try to be as active as possible – enjoy nature

2

also.

M3: I try and walk everywhere because, um, I don’t really enjoy running.

W4: I have quite a hectic lifestyle as a musician but I do try to keep fit – going to the

gym, yoga classes, Pilates classes, er, sometimes running, and generally keeping

active.

W5: I’m a police officer, so I have quite an active job. Um, I can spend 8 or 12 hours

doing foot patrol, um, walking round the streets of London so I suppose that keeps

me quite fit.

Part 3

F: What other things would you like to do to keep fit?

M1: I’d love to get involved with some team sports. I really enjoy, sort of, the team

aspect of sport. Er, particularly I think I’d like to get into hockey.

W1: I’d quite like to learn how to play tennis properly. Er, it’s probably one of the

only sports that I’m interested in; it’s something I would watch on TV.

M2: I would like to run, but, er … my legs are, are not running legs, so I prefer to

cycle.

W3: I would like to learn to rock climb.

M3: I would actually like to join a rowing club, er, but unfortunately I don’t have

time and it is a little bit expensive.

W4: I really enjoy getting out of London at the weekend and going sailing.

W5: When I was at university, um, I got quite into swing dancing, which is very like

jive, 1940s jazz dancing. Er, I’d quite like to take that up again since it’s an easy way

3

of keeping fit, and you meet a lot of people.

Part 4

F: Do you do anything that isn’t very healthy?

M1: Um, I have a bit of a sweet tooth. Um, I love dessert, and I love to eat, er, sweet

things.

W4: I definitely drink too much coffee, and I do like chocolate as well.

W2: Eating late is really bad for you so I try and avoid that – as much as I can,

although it does happen quite regularly.

W1: I love chocolate, and I probably eat too much of it.

W5: Um, because of my shift work, I eat a lot of fast food, er, especially in the early

hours of the morning.

W3: Gosh, I don’t know. I’m a vegetarian. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink

caffeine.

M3: I eat far too many crisps, and chocolate and biscuits. And because I bake, I also

eat a lot of cake.

I = Interviewer; W = Woman

I: Can you tell us a little about superfoods?

W: Well, um, superfoods include tomatoes, broccoli and spinach.

I: Hmm.

W: These have lots of vitamins, and they are really good for you.

I: Right.

W: Anyway, they may improve our health, but I don’t think superfoods will be the

answer to our eating problems in the future.

I: Can you tell us why not?

W: Well, the most important thing is to eat healthy food every day.

I: Um, right.

W: And this is more important than the idea of superfoods. Eating an apple a day is

better for you than eating a kilo of spinach one day a week.

I: I see. So what you’re saying is …

I: There’s been a lot of talk about food pills.

W: Yes.

I: Are they healthier than other types of food? Could they be the food of the future?

W: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space. It was

dried food and they added water to it.

I: Right.

W: But I don’t think food pills will replace normal food.

I: Right. Why’s that? For health reasons or social reasons?

W: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always

will be. You sit down together at a table and you eat and talk. It’s a very old tradition,

and eating pills isn’t the same.

I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pills?
