|Sport. | | |
|Sport is, or rather should be, an important part of| | |
|everyone’s life. | | |
|Here we should distinguish between big-time sport &| | |
|just keeping fit. | | |
|We can’t all be professional athletes, but we | | |
|should pay attention to out bodies. | | |
|Our body needs exercise just as it needs food. | | |
|Everyone chooses physical according to one’s | | |
|tastes. | | |
|Some people just jog. | | |
|Others prefer more active kind of exercise, such as| | |
|football, basketball, volleyball, martial arts. | | |
|Tennis has become very popular, & it really is a | | |
|good workout for all groups of muscles. | | |
|Fitness centres, body building & shaping gyms are | | |
|full of pumping iron. | | |
|There are some specific British & American sports | | |
|that are rather interesting - golf, cricket, | | |
|baseball, American football. | | |
|Tastes differ, but one thing is for sure - if you | | |
|want to be healthy & fit, you can’t do without | | |
|sport. | | |
|I start every day with a half hour of exercise - | | |
|push ups, sit ups, chin ups, warming up all my | | |
|muscles. | | |
|Then a quick shower, & I feel as fit as a fiddle. | | |
|Twice a week I have a two-hour workout in a gum on | | |
|various training devices & just lifting weights. | | |
|Once a week I visit a swimming pool . | | |
|It’s enough for me to feel fit. | | |
|Of course I would like to take up Alpine skiing or | | |
|para-gliding, but I have neither time nor equipment| | |
|for that. | | |

|Holidays. | | |
|Every family has its own holidays, connected with | | |
|some great events in its history. | | |
|For ordinary people holidays are mostly the chance | | |
|to relax & have a good time. | | |
|There are some almost universal holidays, such as | | |
|Christmas & New Year. | | |
|We’ve got 2 favourite holidays New Year & Easter. | | |
|The New Year is noisy & festive. | | |
|Christmas trees are decorated with tinsel, toys, & | | |
|strings of colored light bulbs. | | |
|Children put stockings under the trees for Santa | | |
|Claus to fill them up with gifts. | | |
|It’s a family occasion - the whole family usually | | |
|gathers, gifts are exchanged. | | |
|There are parties, dancing, champagne drinking, | | |
|fireworks & firecrackers. | | |
|At midnight everyone at a party stops whatever they| | |
|are doing to greet the New Year. | | |
|It’s the most colorful & merry of all holidays. | | |
|I can’t help mentioning Easter, which is connected | | |
|with the idea of spring & revival of nature. | | |
|We exchange painted eggs, special cakes, & | | |
|generally make merry. | | |
|There are also our birthdays parties- we celebrate | | |
|him or her with birthday, singing Happy birthday to| | |
|you, present our gifts & have our family dinner. | | |
|All holidays are nice, because people forget their | | |
|worries for a while, & enjoy themselves. | | |
