INTRODUCTION
As elsewhere in the world, my people have become more health conscious in
recent years. The three main aspects of a healthy life—namely, diet, exercise,
and stress reduction—will be dealt with in terms of a typical lifestyle. (39

BODY
The traditional customs and dishes in my culture
are generally good for
(beneficial to) a balanced diet. For example, rice
is the staple food and is
complemented by a wide variety of vegetables and fruit. Fish, seafood, and
white meat are generally preferred to red meat. Alcohol is consumed in very
moderate quantities, and when it is consumed, it is mostly beer.
As
far as exercise is concerned, my people,
in general, get higher than
average amounts of exercise as part of their daily routines. That is to say,
those in the cities seldom own cars or motorcycles. They often go to work
and back (commute) on foot or by bicycle, and are not unwilling (reluctant)
to walk long distances or do manual labor.
An easygoing temperament is a national characteristic among my people. For
instance, foreigners are amazed to find that road rage and public violence are
virtually nonexistent in my country. In addition, because of the social position
of women, domestic violence has never reached disturbing levels. Lastly, my
people love to partake
in one of the popular sports, like ping-pong (table
tennis) and basketball. (181 words)
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it could be said that my people keep (maintain)
healthy
lifestyles as far as their diet,
exercise patterns, and stress levels are
concerned. The future will show to what extent a more Westernized lifestyle
will change the status quo (present situation). (40 words) (Total words: 260)
