T3W3 TS Q27 – Selective High School

Dr Jones told Jolene that she must take the 30-minute walk to the train station everyday to increase her health, instead of driving to work. Jolene states that driving is more convenient, and that it saves her from stressing out, which is also bad for her health.

Which statement, if true, could Dr Jones use to strengthen his argument?

It is best to do what is convenient, as stress causes more damage to health than not exercising. Studies have shown that walking, rather than driving, is highly beneficial for the environment. Using public transport can increase a person’s health as the fumes from cars are dangerous, and can cause disease and stress. Studies have shown that a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise a day can contribute to lowered stress, higher levels of general happiness and health.

Are you sure you want to leave?
