                                                          A Healthy Lifestyle

I consider that man’s health depends on his mode of life. To prevent the diseases it’s necessary to keep some simple regulations: to go in for sports, to eat carefully, to take a rest and to walk frequently in the open air. I’m fifteen years old and the last three years I do my morning exercises. It inspirits and gives strength to me for a whole day. I add dousing with cold water in winter. I think that conditioning to the cold is the main method for preserving my health. My favourite winter sports are cross-country skiing and skating. I prefer to run in the park and play tennis in summer. I go to the swimming pool twice a week the whole year round. Swimming increases the respiratory system. I also try to observe a day regimen. Every day I go to bed and get up at approximately the same time. I give special attention to meals. I don’t eat fatty and high-calorie foods and I don’t drink heavily gas-cut beverages. At my time of life some peers smoke and drink alcohol but I think that it’s dangerous for a human organism and sooner or later it will be injurious to our health. I think that everybody must begin to take care of his health in his youth because it’s easier to take care of our health than to recover it.

Я считаю, что здоровье человека зависит от его образа жизни. Для того чтобы не болеть, нужно соблюдать несколько простых правил: заниматься спортом, правильно питаться, полноценно отдыхать и чаще бывать на свежем воздухе. Мне 15 лет, и из них 3 последних года я делаю по утрам зарядку. Это придаёт мне бодрости и сил на весь день. Зимой я добавляю обливание холодной водой. Считаю закаливание самым главным сохранения здоровья. Мои любимые зимние виды спорта это бег на лыжах и катание на коньках. Летом я предпочитаю бегать в парке и играть в большой теннис. Круглый год я посещаю бассейн два раза в неделю. Плаванье укрепляет дыхательную систему. Также я стараюсь соблюдать режим. Я ложусь и встаю в одно и то же время каждый день. Особое внимание я уделяю питанию. Я не ем жирную и высококалорийную пищу, и не пью сильно газированных напитков. В моём возрасте некоторые сверстники уже курят и употребляют алкогольные напитки, но я считаю, что это разрушительно для организма и если не сейчас, то в будущем обязательно скажется на здоровье. Мне кажется, что каждый человек должен начинать заботиться о своём здоровье в молодости, так как уберечь здоровье проще, чем вернуть его.

Each person has his hobby and as a matter of fact little free time to do something we like doing most of all. I also have many hobbies. As I am a pupil I haven`t got much free time during the school days. And I study in Russian school so I`ve got only one day off. It`s Sunday.

In my free time I usually hang out with my friends or surf the Net. If it is summer I don`t use the computer much and have a great time outside. But in autumn, winter and spring I have to use computer more because sometimes wecan`t do our homework without using the Internet. And I usually chat with my friends because I don`t see some of them for a long time.

On Saturdays or Sundays I usually help my mum with the housework, watch TV, meet my friends and often play the guitar because I`m mad about music.

But sometimes if the school days were busy and I had to study much harder I simply relax. I think we must do something interesting in our free time because we become borried and tired after doing homework and studying so hard.
