Кто нибудь i never used to worry about my health until recently. when i was a kid, i did loads of exercise. even in my twenties and thirties i was very fit and never ill. i have been lucky all my life – always in the best of health. i rarely get even a cold. i suppose time catches up with you. now i seem to be getting lots of little aches and pains. i should go to the doctor for a health check, but i’m too busy. the older you get, the more you worry about your health. one good thing is that i’m eating more healthily now than ever before. i no longer have fast food and midnight snacks. i also sleep a lot more. i’ve read that getting seven or eight hours sleep every night is one of the best things you can do for your health. тест 1. when he was a kid a) trained a lot b) never did any exercising c) was good at sports 2. he was lucky because a) he was young b) he got cold c) he was healthy 3. he thinks when people become older a) have better health b) worry about health c) need medication 4. in his opinion, a good thing is a) he eats healthier food b) he ate healthy food before c) he does not care about food 5. now he sleeps a) less b) more c) better

An English teacher wrote these words on the whiteboard: «woman without her man is nothing». The teacher then asked the students to punctuate the words correctly.

The men wrote: «Woman, without her man, is nothing.»

The women wrote: «Woman! Without her, man is nothing.»

Учитель английского языка написал эти слова на доске: «Женщина без ее человека - ничто». Затем учитель попросил студентов правильно перемещать слова. Мужчины писали: «Женщина, без ее человека, ничто.» Женщины писали: «Женщина! Без нее человек ничего. »

Speed, excitement, danger. You can find all these in the different extreme sports that have become popular last 10 years. Take bungee jumping. You jump off a bridge and you all and all, and the, just before you hi the ground or water, an elastic rope pulls you back. In skysurfing you jump out of aeroplane and use a board to ''surf'' the air doing gymnastics in mid-air! And extreme sports on and can be just as dangerous.Winter sports have always an element of danger. For example snowboarding, which has all the excitement of sufing but on snow, is more dangerous even than skiing. Probably the most dangerous of all the new winter sports is snowrafting.  You sit in a rubber boat and sail down a mountain at great speed - and you can't control the boat!Of course, water sports have always been fun. Ice diving, for those people who are absolutely crasy. You put on diving equipment and dive under a frosen lake. And, if that's not enough, you try to walk upside down on the ice! I feel cold just thinking about it.
A lot of people are not fit nowadays. It's a big problem today. If you want to feel fit you'd better go in for one kid of sport or another. I think that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Good health is better than the best medicine. All kids of physical exercises are very useful to make our bodies strong and to keep ourselves fit and healthy. To tel the trurh I on't do sports regulary and it is not an essential part of my daily life. In the morning I do some exercises just to awake. In summer I go swimming as there is a beautiful lake with pure water where my Granny lives. In winter I sim in the swimming pool. I like to ride the bike. I shouldn't call myself a sports fan. Of course, I like to watch sports competitions on TV, like hockey or football. But most of all I admire extreme kids of sport. I think hey are really cool.
