Model Answer 1:
I am not exactly a “health nut”, and I don’t really have to be one because I think that I am fairly healthy. But, still, I like to read health-related articles, in order to learn more about a healthy lifestyle, when I get a chance. Today, I would like to talk about one such article that I read about a few months ago.

Now, I must say that the article, I am talking about, was no “generic” type of article, written by some kind of ‘average’ journalist or health expert, rather it was a very well-written article by one of the most expert medicine and cardiologist specialists of my country.

Anyway, the article explained pretty much everything about how to keep our hearts healthy without using any kind of medicine. Initially, of course, I was a bit sceptical about the opinions and findings, published in the article, but, as I kept reading more and more deeply into the article, I just couldn’t ignore the experience, knowledge and findings of an industry expert who had been providing medical treatments to heart patients very successfully for well over 50 years. Here it is also worth mentioning that the article went to a great length to explain what kinds of food to take and when in order to keep our hearth healthy.

By the way, I found the article to be very important and timely, as far as I am concerned because my father had suffered from a massive heart attack about 5/6 years ago without giving any prior warnings or complications which eventually led to a "bypass heart surgery". And since then, my father has been spending tons of money on buying his medicines so that he could live a “semi-normal” life.

Anyway, in the end, I found the article to be very informative and important for those who want to live a heart-healthy life without sacrificing their taste bud and food habits. Besides, the article would also go a long way to help people save a lot of money on their healthcare.


Model Answer 2:

Introduction:
Reading is a great habit that provides an opportunity to learn new things. I love to read articles about health and fitness because they help me to improve my lifestyle. Here, I would like to talk about an article on healthy eating that I read in a magazine a few months ago.

What the article explained:
The article was about the benefits of eating a plant-based diet. It explained how a plant-based diet is rich in nutrients and how it helps to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. The article also discussed the environmental benefits of a plant-based diet and how it helps to reduce carbon emissions.

When you read it:
I read this article a few months ago when I was waiting for an appointment with my doctor. I picked up a magazine from the waiting room and started reading it.

How important you think it was:
I think this article was very important because it provided valuable information about healthy eating. Many people are not aware of the benefits of a plant-based diet, and this article helped to raise awareness about it. It also highlighted the impact of our food choices on the environment, which is an important issue in today's world.

And explain how you felt about it:
I felt really good about reading this article. It was informative and engaging, and I learned a lot from it. I have always been interested in healthy eating, and this article provided me with new information and insights that I had not considered before. It also motivated me to make some changes in my diet and to incorporate more plant-based foods into my meals.

Cricket once was considered as the sport for the rich. But with the change of time, it has become common for all and even the poorest country in the world may have a cricket team of their own. In cricket, usually, 11 players are in each of the sides. After tossing, the winning team usually decides to bat first or allows the opposition to bat (depends on pitch condition) and continues the sport. The batsmen try to hit the ball and run between the bowling l...
