Part 1 Questions and Answers about the IELTS Running topic

.

Q1.Did you have to run during school sport lessons? A1: Let's see now. Yes. There were a variety of running activities that my PE teachers got me involved in when I was younger. For instance, before taking part in team sport activities, we'd warm up by doing light jogs around the gymnasium. We also performed a lot of short and fast paced speed drills to help increase our leg muscles and endurance. Q 2. Are there any good places to go running where you live? A2: It's sad to say, but in the city center, most people prefer the safe and boring option of going to fitness clubs and running on treadmills. However, in the suburbs there are some large scenic parks with soft and even surface running paths. Another option is using school race tracks, which are sometimes available for public visitors to use.

Q3. Have you done any long distance running? A3: Have I? Well, I've never participated in any formal long distance running events. However, when I was a member of my school rugby team, I had to run a lot. If my memory serves me correctly, my coach directed my team to run 10 non-stop laps around the field every practice. I believe that is equivalent to running around 3000 meters - I guess. Q4. Would you choose to watch important running races on TV? A4: I find it fairly boring to watch most running events. That being said, I'm always intrigued to know who the fastest runner in the world is, and that is often considered as the winner of the prestigious 100 meter dash. So anytime the Olympics or World Championships occurs, I don't mind tuning in to watch the world's fastest sprinters.
