Want to lose weight? Write

The following exchange of conversation occurred after a writing exercise in the IELTS review course I facilititated:

Me: Okay time's up, pens down. (while going around to collect their answer sheets)

Issa: Ano ba yan nakakatuyo ng utak! (My brain dried up!)

Leah: Grabe nga e, wala na akong maisulat. (I ran out of things to write about.)

Ross: Naubusan ako ng Ingles dun a! (I ran out of English words!)

Me: (While distributing a new set of questionnaire) Are you still up to it or would you like to take a break?

Everyone: Break muna mam!

Me: Fine, so you can recover all the energy you lost.

Issa: Kaya siguro mam walang writer na mataba kasi nakakaubos ng lakas ang magsulat. (Maybe mam, the reason why there are no fat writers because it's such a draining work.)
