* comer comidas rápidas: eating fast foods
descansar: resting
ir al gimnasio: going to the gym

So, you could write:

* *A Diana le gusta descansar. No le gusta hacer ejercicio, entonces descansa en su lugar.*
Diana likes to rest. She doesn’t like to exercise, so she rests instead.

* *Fabiola prefiere comer comidas sanas. No le gusta la comida rápida, y siempre prepara comidas saludables para llevar al trabajo.*

* *A Mariela no le gusta permanecer en cama. Ella prefiere levantarse e ir al trabajo aunque esté enferma.*
Mariela doesn’t like staying in bed. She preferes to go to work even if she’s sick.

* *Don Miguel probó los dulces porque le gusta la comida dulce. Siempre come comida saludable, entonces no le hace mal comer un dulce.*

* *A Aguayo no le gusta ir al médico. Prefiere quedarse en su casa hasta que se le pase el malestar.*
Aguayo doesn’t like to go to the doctor. He prefers to stay home until the bad feeling is over.

Then, you need to answer: What opinion do you relate to the most? What do you do to stay in shape?
