雅思口语P2有话说 ｜8分素材之下班/放学后的活动

　　雅思口语P2有话说 ｜8分素材之下班/放学后的活动，题目要求的是“often”，可以说一些冷门的兴趣爱好，来彰显不同，但是要是经常频繁可以做的事情。比如，如果你说你enjoy蹦极，总不可能天天吃完晚饭没事儿就找个楼跳跳吧。

　　I’d like to describe an activity that I do after work which is jogging. Actually, jogging is quite a popular exercise among Chinese people, and nowadays more and more young people have taken up this activity as a hobby and a way to keep fit. For me, it is definitely a way to stay healthy and release stress.

　　Well, I usually go jogging in our community after dinner. My routine is run ten laps, which usually takes me about one and half hours. In fact, I’ve been doing this activity for three years now. I still remember how hard it was when I first started it. I couldn’t keep it up for even 30 minutes. But over time, I got better at it; I guess my body had adapted to this physical task. And now, I can keep running much faster and cover a longer distance compared with when just started.

　　Finally, let me talk about how I feel about this activity. I feel absolutely great about this activity. It’s easy and cheap. All I need is just a pair of shoes and I can run anywhere I find suitable. I don’t need to buy any membership or expensive gear. I guess the only catch is the persistence it takes. I also feel that this activity has made me a happy person. I mean life is hard. Your work keeps you busy and you’re constantly under a lot of stress. When you get kids, all of a sudden you have more responsibilities, like cooking for them, reading to them and worrying about their studies. Often, you wish you could rid yourself of all the worries and concerns even if just momentarily. And this is where running comes in. after this activity, I feel refreshed and ready to face everything in a positive manner.
