Yes, in my opinion the government has a big responsibility to try to persuade people to live more healthily I think they could provide more education in schools to teach children how to eat more healthily and show them the importance of taking physical exercise In fact, it‟s the parents too that also need to be re-educated on these issues Another thing, I think there should be more government warnings on TV showing people the dangers of obesity and poor diet, for example Actually, they have some that show the health risks of smoking and drinking, which are quite powerful, but not really about healthy eating Finally, there could be more public facilities to help people keep fit, like swimming pools, gyms and sports centres More to the point they need to be affordable so that everyone has the opportunity to use them Speaking Practice Test: Practice Test - Work Part - sample questions  Do you work or study?  What you for living?  Did you have any difficulty getting your present job?  Do you enjoy your work?  Which part of your job is exciting?  What are the main tasks in your job?  Do you plan to continue/stay in this job for a long time?  Would you like to change this job?  Which is more important – your job or the people you work with?
