Feedback: Your response is clear and relevant to the question. Just a small grammar adjustment, you should use “should” instead of “should to”. Otherwise, well done! Good luck with your IELTS preparations.
Teaching children or learners about health in schools can be realised in the following two ways. To start, one of the obligatory records teachers need to honestly maintain is the Health Check record book, and in it details about hair, nails, skin and teeth condition are kept. Concerns about the neglect of personal hygiene should be communicated to the learners, parents and guardians routinely. By doing this the school and parents would be working in partnership to promote good health in the younger generation. The other thing schools can do is also concerned with good hygiene – that is to ensure that children wash hands thoroughly before eating, especially the ECD children they need to be supervised. If children wash their hands before touching their food, cases of tummy ailments are likely to be significantly reduced, more often than not, once habits are formed they become established.

That’s an interesting question….. One way that I think children could be taught to become healthy in life is to start instilling habits that they can adopt in their formative years that can translate them into healthier adults. Among the things that children could adopt is ditching the habit of being glued to a television set all day long or playing video games. Instead , they could pick up a sport such as soccer, tennis ,volley ball or just cycling or running in their neighbourhood. These activities can also be done as extramural activities at school. By simply adjusting lifestyle habits, they will be able to shed off unnecessary kilos and stay fit. It even sounds better for them as they can become professionals in the respective activities that they set their sights on in early life. Wouldn’t that be rewarding for children and parents and definitely ‘killing two birds with one stone’?
That’s a great response! Here is a corrected version of your answer:

Tricky questions.
I guess thay should to have lots of sports classes as physical activities classes.
In these classes they should have teach students how to stretch effectively their health.
Good effort! Here is a corrected version of your answer:
Tricky question. I believe that schools should offer plenty of sports and physical activity classes. In these classes, students should be taught how to effectively improve their health through stretching exercises.
Mistakes in your answer:
1. “Tricky questions” should be “Tricky question” as there is only one question.
2. “I guess thay should to have” should be “I believe that schools should offer”.
3. “as physical activities classes” should be “like physical education classes”.
4. “have teach students” should be “teach students”.
Keep practicing and you will continue to improve! Good luck with your studies.
I think they are already doing that. From small grades they teach kids a subject called general science and when I check my child’s exercise books I saw some general knowledge about basic sanitation needs. I also saw how the teachers discourage them not to eat junk foods. In my opinion I expect not so much from school especially for kindergarten and grade one students.
I appreciate your response to the question. It’s great that schools are already addressing health education, but there are a few areas where improvements can be made. Firstly, it’s important to ensure that the information provided is accurate and up-to-date. Secondly, encouraging physical activity and proper nutrition should also be emphasized in addition to basic hygiene practices. Keep up the good work!
Corrected Version:
I believe that schools are already teaching children how to take care of their health. From early grades, they introduce subjects like general science, where students learn about basic sanitation needs. I have also observed teachers discouraging children from consuming junk food. In my opinion, I don’t expect too much from schools, especially for kindergarten and first-grade students.
Mistakes:
1. “they are already doing that” should be “they are already doing so.”
2. “I expect not so much from school” should be “I don’t expect too much from schools.”
3. “when I check my child’s exercise books” could be clearer as “when I checked my child’s schoolwork.”
4. “not to eat junk foods” should be “not to eat junk food.”
Good luck with your studies!

In my perspective, there are two plausible ways in which young learners can have a solid and fundamental understanding of how they help themselves to have optimal health. First, it is of paramount importance that the academe as a whole should have an active participation to make this into fruition. Firstly, they can organize some symposium or workshop that delves into basic routines that can eventually engage young students in having a more physically active lifestyle. Particularly, just adding simple exercises like stationary jogging or basic squatting can play a vital role in helping students avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Moreover, I consider inviting health experts to show the ropes of acquiring optimal health can be a good addition to the list of strategies on how learning institutions can help their young learners have robust health.

It is very knowledgeable question. Probably , I guess, the young school child should be taught the importance of health and well-being to protect their health , for example, the keeping of sanitation, many children do not know the significance of sanitation to prevent an infection like using soap after toilet. Second, the schools should have supervisors, to improve the health of children to get an evaluation department on the environment of the schools to be appropriate to teach the children.
It is a good start! Here is a corrected version of your answer:
“It is a very relevant question. In my opinion, young school children should be taught the importance of health and well-being in order to protect themselves. For example, they need to understand the significance of sanitation to prevent infections, such as using soap after using the toilet. Additionally, schools should have supervisors who can assess and improve the health of children and evaluate the school environment to ensure it is conducive to children’s learning.”
Mistakes to note:
1. “It is very knowledgeable question.” – Change to “It is a very relevant question.”
2. “Probably , I guess, the young school child should be taught…” – Choose one word “probably” or “I guess,” and remove the extra comma. Also, change “the young school child” to “young school children.”
3. “many children do not know the significance of sanitation to prevent an infection like using soap after toilet.” – the sentence structure needs adjustment. Consider breaking this up into a clearer idea.
4. “Second, the schools should have supervisors, to improve the health of children to get an evaluation department on the environment of the schools to be appropriate to teach the children.” – The sentence is a bit confusing. Clarify the idea and adjust the structure for better readability.
I guess one thing they can do is to have awareness campaigns for kids and their parents which talk about the benefits of healthy food and the dangerous of junk food. As well, they should obligate children to practice morning exercises such as running.
Junk food cause chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. To maintain healthy body Kids should reduce eating junk food and practice regular physical activities.
For instance, In Japan students in primary schools they clean their classes and whole school by themselves. In my opinion this is a perfect example for doing daily exercise and keeping children’s health.

Mistakes:
1. “the dangerous” should be “the dangers” to match the plural noun “benefits.”
2. “they should obligate” should be “schools should require” to improve the formality of the sentence.
3. “Junk food cause” should be “Junk food causes” to match the singular subject.
4. “For instance, In Japan students in primary schools they clean their classes” should be “For example, in Japan, students in primary schools clean their classrooms” to correct the structure and eliminate redundancy.
Overall, your answer is well-structured and provides a variety of relevant ideas. Keep up the good work!
in my perspective , the schools are playing an outsized role to encourage the pupils to eat healthy food like fruits and and vegetables .No no can deny the role of the families that play significant role in convincing their children to consume healthy food and avoid junk food as much as they can. schools and teachers are guiders they support the students moreover, they inform the students about negative consequences of consuming unhealthy food in the long term , in many developed countries like the united states and the United kingdom the students are eating junk food at the schools that lead to highest rate of obesity which has caused many diseases such as heart diseases and blood high pressure. to sum up , both have responsibility schools and parents to look after their children and inform them to distinguish what is right and what is wrong .

Corrections:

That’s a tricky question. I would say that children should be taught how to take care of their health by doing exercise, eating healthily, among other things.
For example, most children like playing football, which is practically the most popular sport nowadays. There are also other sport activities they can do such as, tennis, volleyball, etc. It’s just a matter of making them aware how crucial is to do an activity in general, in order to be in good health.
To be honest, I don’t think it is that difficult to get kids involved in any sport they like, since kikds in general, enjoy any kind of sport activities. They just have to choose the one which best adapt their taste.
That’s a great attempt at answering the question. I’ve made some corrections and suggestions for improvement below:

I never really considered it before, i think children are to small to know or think about their health. The only things that teachers can do is by teaching them about the function of vegetables and that we should eat more vegetables or the teachers can also held a sport competition since a lot of children love to playing around and sport is the best option.

Well, I reckon that one of the most important things that schools should do is to help pupils develop a good habit of keeping hygiene, especially young children. It is be taught through books and stories or videos as children love to follow what they see.
Secondly, teaching them about healthy eating habits is also necessary. They ought to know what is good and bad about their intake; for example, they’d better be aware of the consequences of energy drinks and fast food consumptions. So, they can consume them less or go for healthier alternatives like green vegetables or salads.
Last but not least, sports. Schools should ensure that children have time to do sports or exercise to keep their body strong and healthy. I believe that if all of these become their habits, they will live with their good habits even after they leave school.
Well done! Your answer is well-structured and covers the main points of the question. However, I noticed a few errors that could be improved:
1. “It is be taught” should be “It should be taught.”
2. “They ought to know what is good and bad about their intake” could be improved to “They should know what is good and bad about their diet.”
3. “For example, they’d better be aware of the consequences of energy drinks and fast food consumptions.” – You can use “consumption” instead of “consumptions” and rephrase the sentence to: “For example, they should be aware of the consequences of consuming energy drinks and fast food.”
4. “So, they can consume them less or go for healthier alternatives like green vegetables or salads.” – You can rephrase it as: “So, they can either consume them less or opt for healthier alternatives such as green vegetables or salads.”
Overall, great job! Your points are clear and well-supported. Keep it up!
