I really understand your situation because many persons are facing up with this difficulty in modern life. I think you do not need to go to the gym or buy any equipment to do exercise. You only need to wake up a little bit earlier than normal and spend 30 minutes per day to work out at home. Work out at home can give you more freedom and flexibility and fit into your busy schedule. You can do several simple exercises such a squat, plank, push-up or take break time to walk around your office. The level will increase day by day, don’t push you yourself to reach high target at the beginning. In addition, do not forget to prepare menu with healthy dishes: drink 1.5 – 2 liters of water per day, eat salads and fresh fruits, and avoid using caffeine, cigarettes, fast food as much as possible. I hope my suggestions can help you to improve your health in some ways. And you can search more information to know more about how to work out at home from the Internet.

SUGGESTED ANSWER Dear Harris Parks, I would like to thank you for your letter which arrived on 8th May. I am writing to provide you with information about the stay of my group in Manchester. We really appreciate the possibility we were given by English Language Academy. This visit is a big advantage for us for the reason that it helps to improve and foster our English communication skills. Regarding the accommodations, all of us prefer staying with local families instead of the youth hostel. It will be a great opportunity for us to get to know local culture and enjoy different kinds of local food. Most members in my group are around 20-25, so I would expect to take them around the city and visit several famous places in Manchester such as Manchester Town Hall, Centre Library or Football Club Museum when they can arrange their time. Thank you again for your support and your warm welcome to your city. Yours sincerely, Michael
