Do you ever choose to walk or cycle somewhere instead of driving or taking the bus?

A natural way to answer

Whenever I can, yes. I cycle to work in good weather, which I find far less stressful than sitting in traffic. It's a nice way to fit exercise into a busy day.

Key phrases to use

• stretch your legs — to walk a bit, especially after sitting for a long time“Let's stop and stretch our legs.”
• clock up — to accumulate a number or amount over time“I clocked up ten thousand steps before lunch.”
• go the long way round — to take a longer route than necessary“I went the long way round to enjoy the view.”
• whizz past — to go past very quickly“Cars whizz past so fast you miss everything.”
