Model Answer 1:
Thank you very much for this excellent topic. So, for this topic, I'll be talking about an activity that I highly enjoy doing on a regular basis, and which also helps me remain healthy and fit.

The activity I am talking about is playing football every evening. Doing some kind of physical activity is essential for a healthy life, and it has become even more important in the modern era when obesity and health issues have become so widespread. Every evening, except for some rare occasions, I, along with a few friends of mine, go to our college playground and play football for about one and a half hours or so. This is not just merely something we do to remain fit, rather we play football because we love this sport.

I've been playing football since my childhood, and I am very enthusiastic about it. But I've been indulging to play it regularly as a healthy activity for the last two years.

I play football with a few of my friends who live nearby the college playground or in our locality. They also take it as a good opportunity to spend some quality time with friends while also doing some exercise each day.

Since I love football, I thoroughly enjoy playing this sport. It is a healthy activity because it helps me remain fit. Football, as a sport, builds our body and enhances our stamina and strengthens our muscles. It is also a team sport that helps us develop our skills in working in a team. I also love to do it because it gives me a good opportunity to go out in the evening and spend some good time with my friends.


Sample Answer 2:
One healthy activity that I enjoy doing regularly is hiking. It has become a significant part of my life, allowing me to connect with nature, challenge myself physically, and find solace in the beauty of the outdoors.

Hiking involves exploring nature trails and landscapes, usually in mountainous or forested areas. It requires walking over varying terrains and elevations, often with the goal of reaching a specific destination or viewpoint. It is a form of exercise that engages the entire body, promoting cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and endurance.

I have been hiking for the past five years, and it has become an integral part of my routine. Initially, I started with shorter hikes on well-marked trails and gradually progressed to more challenging and longer treks.

While I occasionally hike alone for personal reflection and introspection, I often prefer to hike with friends or fellow nature enthusiasts. Hiking in a group not only enhances the overall experience but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and mutual support.

There are several reasons why I enjoy hiking as a regular activity. Firstly, it allows me to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse myself in the serenity of nature. The scenic views, fresh air, and peaceful surroundings offer a respite from the stresses of work and responsibilities.

Moreover, hiking provides a wonderful opportunity to challenge myself physically. The varying terrains and elevation changes push my limits, build stamina, and improve my overall fitness.
