1. What can governments do to improve people’s health?

There is a lot that the government can do to improve people’s health, but the most effective strategies （策略） are providing exercise facilities and promoting good health. For example, if a government opens many public exercise facilities such as running tracks and public gyms then people are incentivized （鼓励）to use these facilities. Furthermore, if the government creates advertisements that promote exercise and eating healthily then people are more likely to live healthier lives.

2. What activities can school organize for children to keep fit?

The best activity that schools can organize to keep children fit are competitive sports days. These are days where all the students compete in a bunch （一群）of athletic games for prizes. For example, races, football games and cross country running. These days （这些节日） encourage children to exercise and rewards them for their hard work. Thus, I believe that oiganizing competitive sports days are the best way for a school to keep children fit.

3. How can you tell whether a website is reliable or not?

It can often be very tricky （棘手）to tell whether a website is reliable or not. There is a lot of incorrect information on the internet and many websites that are quite misleading. Therefore, it is important to check who the website it created by to see if it is reliable or not. For example, websites created by the government, charities and news broadcasters are normally quite reliable sources of information. It is important to know where your information is coming from.

4. Do you think people are healthier now than in the past?

I do not think that people are healthier now than they were in the past. I think in the past people were more fit and exercised more frequently. Nowadays, people spend so much time on their mobile phones and playing video games that very few people exercise anymore. Also, people eat a lot more junk food （垃圾食品）nowadays than people did in the past. So, I believe that people in the modem world are becoming very unfit and unhealthy and that people in the past were much healthier than people are today.
