but kunkun knows a lot about healthy food
told me that was a bad idea
said if I keep going hungry, I will feel so bad that I will stop trying
instead: he told me to eat more fruits + vegetables, / because they are healthy + delicious
would not feel hungry at all
best part: how he made it all sound so simple / instead of starving myself, I just swap the bad food for fruits + vegetables
key point: that simple switch / from suffering to actually enjoying what I eat
said the key is patience / the weight will come off slowly if I keep going

4. Wrap-up

decided to listen to Kunkun
no more extreme dieting
will eat healthy food + be patient
believe I can reach my goal in a year

My Answer Notes

54. Describe a person who met difficulties but succeeded

lose weightskip mealshealthy foodfruits and vegetablesnever stopped trying

1. Introduction

friend Kunkun, who really wanted to lose weight
hard at first, / but in the end he succeeded

2. Background

about a year ago, when Kunkun decided to lose weight
at the start, he tried to do it by skipping meals / sometimes he only ate one meal a day, so he felt hungry + tired all the time + almost wanted to stop trying

3. Main Part

best part: how he got so excited about this one special salad he'd eat every lunch / like, it wasn't boring at all, so he stuck with it
read a healthy food book + realized skipping meals was actually bad / because your body stores more fat instead
so he switched to eating lots of fruit, vegetables / low-fat foods
the variety was amazing / honestly, the food tasted good, so he never felt hungry
on top of that, he'd do sports every morning at six / gradually he lost weight week by week
just this simple combination / better food choices + exercise / that really made the difference for him

4. Wrap-up

in the end Kunkun lost all the weight he wanted / I really admire him for not giving up
taught me that when one method doesn't work, you should try a different way
