Walk and talk – level 1
28-03-2025 15:00
Nilofer Merchant says that we can work and be healthy at the same time. She has a simple idea: walking meetings.
Instead of sitting, we can walk when we talk. Sitting too much is bad for health and can make people sick. Walking helps us feel better. Merchant first tries a walking meeting when someone invites her. At first, it is strange. But she likes the idea. Now, she walks a lot every week while working.
Walking meetings help her think better and stay active. She says that we do not have to stop working to be healthy. We can do both together. Walking and talking help people get new ideas and feel good.
Difficult words: instead of (in place of someone or something else), invite (to ask someone to come somewhere), active (busy, doing something).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
