Have practice in writing a letter of advice How to Lose Weight

Level A2

Dear Jane,

I’ve just got your e-mail and I was sorry to hear you’re worried about your weight. I bet the problem isn’t as bad as it seems, though! In any case, there are lots of things you can do to lose weight. What you should do is eat a healthy diet, with lots of fish, fruit, and fresh vegetables instead of junk food and sweets. If you do this, you’ll soon lose weight and you’ll look and feel much healthier, too.

You could also exercise more and walk whenever possible rather than going by car or bus. That way you’ll burn calories and get your body back in shape at the same time. I know it’s hard to do at first, but believe me, it will work!

Good luck, and don’t forget to let me know how you’re getting on.

All the best,

Julia
