Anna and Mark, former university classmates, catch up on how their university experiences shaped their careers, abilities, and healthy eating habits.
Anna
Hi, Mark! It’s been a while since we last chatted. How’s your job going?
Hi, Anna! It’s going well, thanks. It’s been quite busy, but I’m enjoying it. How about you?
Mark
Anna
Same here. Busy but good. By the way, I’ve been thinking a lot about how our university days prepared us for our current jobs. Do you feel the same?
Absolutely. I remember those group projects we did. They really helped me develop teamwork and communication skills that I use daily at my job.
Mark
Anna
Oh, for sure! I think my part-time job during university helped me a lot, too. It taught me time management and customer service skills. Did you have any part-time jobs back then?
Yes, I worked at the campus library. It was great for improving my organizational skills and attention to detail. It’s funny how those skills are so useful in my current role.
Mark
Anna
Definitely. Speaking of skills, have you picked up any new abilities since starting your job?
Yes, I’ve become better at multitasking and managing projects. What about you?
Mark
Anna
I’ve improved my problem-solving skills a lot, especially when dealing with unexpected challenges at work. By the way, how do you manage to eat healthily with such a busy schedule?
It’s a challenge, but I try to meal prep on weekends. That way, I have healthy meals ready for the week. How about you?
Mark
Anna
I do something similar. I also make sure to keep healthy snacks at my desk to avoid junk food. Do you think your eating habits changed since university?
They have. Back then, it was more about convenience. Now, I’m more conscious about eating a balanced diet. How did you manage your diet during university?
Mark
Anna
I tried to eat healthily, but it was tough with all the late-night studying in the dormitory. Now, I make it a point to eat more fruits and vegetables. Any tips for balancing work and healthy eating?
Planning ahead definitely helps. Also, staying hydrated and avoiding too much caffeine. It’s all about balance.
Mark

Mark works in an office, but his original dream was to become a personal trainer. During university, he was passionate about fitness. He joined health clubs, ate healthy meals, and took courses related to training and nutrition. His dedication was evident to everyone around him.
However, in his senior year, Mark suffered a severe injury while lifting weights. The injury was so serious that it ended his plans of becoming a PT. Faced with this new reality, Mark had to reconsider his career options.
After graduating, Mark accepted a job offer to work in an office. Though it was not his dream job, he found stability and a new routine in his work. Despite his new career path, Mark continued to eat healthily and stay active within his limits. He often shared fitness tips with his colleagues, integrating his passion into his everyday life.

Part 6
Discussion 1
Topic: Do you think everyone should adopt a healthy eating lifestyle?
Discuss with your teacher. The positive and negative effects of healthy eating lifestyle.
Suggesting points:
- Support: get better health, cost-saving in medical expenses due to fewer health issues,, enhance mental health, better life quality
- Against: High costs, not available for everyone, time-consuming.
Example
In my opinion, healthy eating is an important topic. Many people ask if everyone should adopt a healthy eating lifestyle. There are both positive and negative effects to consider.
First, eating healthy can lead to better health. When you eat fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious foods, your body gets the vitamins and nutrients it needs. This can help you avoid many health problems.
Second, a healthy eating lifestyle can save money on medical expenses. If you eat well, you might not get sick as often. This means fewer doctor visits and less money spent on medicine.
Third, eating healthy can enhance mental health. Good nutrition can improve your mood and help you feel more energetic. This can lead to a better quality of life.
However, there are also some negative effects. One issue is the high cost of healthy foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious items can be more expensive than junk food. This makes it hard for some people to afford a healthy eating lifestyle.
Another problem is that healthy foods are not available for everyone. In some areas, it is difficult to find fresh and healthy foods. People in these areas might struggle to eat well.
Finally, preparing healthy meals can be time-consuming. It often takes more time to cook a healthy meal than to grab fast food. This can be a challenge for people with busy schedules.
In conclusion, while a healthy eating lifestyle has many benefits, it also has some challenges. It is important to consider both the positive and negative effects. Discussing these points with your teacher can help you make an informed decision about your eating habits.
