UNIT 12

Writing
Part 2 Letter

Dear Sir / Madam,
I hope this letter finds you well. I noticed your request for stories about health
improvements in the recent edition of Best Life and, as such, I am writing to share
my own recent lifestyle changes with you in the hope of inspiring your readers.
Recently, I noticed that I’d become rather lethargic in my day-to-day life, which was
undeniably due to a lack of exercise. As someone with a full-time office job, it can
be near impossible to find the time to work out or eat healthily, and I’m afraid I let
these kinds of activities slip. So, I decided to start making incremental steps to
transform my lifestyle.
Initially, I made small changes, like getting off the bus a stop earlier on my
daily commute and buying a pedometer to gauge my step count. This worked
fantastically and I became quite competitive with myself. Soon I was going for brisk

walks during my lunch hour rather than spending it immobile in front of the screen.
Next, I decided to introduce some dietary changes. I’m not a fan of calorie counting,
so I just made a commitment to cut back on takeaways to just one a week. With just
these initial steps, I’m feeling so much better than I did before.
To anybody wanting to make lifestyle changes, my advice would be to make sure
you set realistic goals that you can build around your existing routine. Start with
an initial set of small changes and when they become second nature, slowly
build upon them. This is a much better approach than making sweeping changes
on day 1, as these kinds of promises to yourself are always very hard to stick to.
Lastly, don’t give up! People can do anything, if they only set their minds to it. https://english0905.com/private/
With best wishes
