From China, 6 minute English is an awesome programming for English learners. I want to say a Chinese idiom "相见恨晚" which means feeling sad meeting something good after a long time. It's a good listening material, also you can speak following it to improve your spoken English. My resolution of new year is to improve my spoken and listening English, because I will want to Paris to take part in a competition as respondent. Also in this year, I face to CET-6 and TOFEL examination. All of these are important, that' really a key year. In the interview in Tsinghua university or Peking university they prefer testing you in English, and then if you want to go abroad, either US, UK, JP etc. All universities need good English ability, I have poor English since I was a kid and can't get away from it. In new years, my best wishes and the most great resolution is to improve my English largely. Love 6 minute English. Best wishes.

My summary while listening A lof of people have made resolutions such as doing more exercises on their daily basis but most of them fail to do so. The today’s topic is discussing about how to do the least amount of exercise to achieve health goals. According to Dr. Zoe Saynor - a sports physiologist, if we don’t have much time to execise, we could try to work out in shorter sessions with higher intensity. One effective way to work out for office workers is that they could travel more actively by walking faster. Even though they’re unable to achieve 10,000-step goal daily, it would be beneficial for them when walking 5000 steps with faster speed.

Despite knowing the outcome of exercise we procrastinate. We do not push ourselves toward arduous or cumbersome exercises. Sometimes easy win exercises seem difficult to us. we prefer lying on our bed to going out and walking for a while.

But like him, i am too serendary to get my ass off until one day when i was too disappointed with my life, i thought i needed to trade off getting out of comfort zone with living a dream life. Though my living area didn't have much space for exercising, i tried my best to get bang for my buck. That's how i changed my life. What about you?

In the question you make at the begining: What is the least amount of exercise someone can get away with doing while still staying healthy? What does get away with mean? I know get away with something means to do something wrong and not get a punishment about it, to get your way in other words but in this question i can't get the meaning
@bbclearningenglish
@bbclearningenglish Год назад
Hey there! The sentence means 'what is the minimum you can do to still be healthy?'. 'Get away with' here means 'achieve something, but not in the best way or putting in too much effort'. We hope this helps.
