健康（Health）在 Task 2 佔比約 10%——但涵蓋範圍最廣：肥胖、心理健康、健保制度、久坐生活、運動習慣、加工食品。每個子題都有專屬詞彙，用錯立刻扣分。

大多數台灣考生健康題寫來寫去就是 healthy, sick, doctor, exercise——Band 6 上限。Band 7+ 要的是 sedentary lifestyle, preventive care, chronic illness, mental wellbeing。

先搭配 Band 6 → 7 詞彙升級 與 Academic Collocations。

健康題詞彙的特殊性

這個主題的詞彙跨醫學與社會學——既要能描述個人狀況（obesity, burnout），又要能談體系（universal healthcare, preventive medicine）。考生常只學一半。

題目脈絡：Some argue governments should focus on preventive medicine rather than treating disease.

I strongly support redirecting healthcare spending toward preventive care, as the economic and human returns are substantial. Chronic illnesses such as type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease now consume around 70% of healthcare budgets in developed nations, yet the majority of these cases stem from modifiable factors — a sedentary lifestyle, poor nutrition, and sleep deprivation. Programmes that help citizens lead a healthy lifestyle through subsidised regular exercise, nutritional education, and free regular check-ups catch problems when they are still inexpensive to reverse. Finland's decades-long campaign to tackle obesity via community sport and clearer food labelling cut cardiovascular mortality by 65% — a result no hospital system could match by treating illness after it emerges. Of course, treatment services remain essential, but a health system that waits for people to suffer from advanced disease before acting is both morally and financially indefensible.
