Answer 1

1) Nowadays young people know that they need to do sport in order to be healthy and fit. It isn't cool to be overweight.

2) There are a lot of different sport clubs and teams in my school. Our schoolchildren can join football, volleyball, basketball teams or do karate. My favourite one is Ultimate Frisbee Club.

3) I keep fit by jogging and roller-skating. I also like cycling very much.

4) Sport may do some harm if I don't follow certain rules. I always do some warm up before practising any sport.

5) Professional sport means a lot of training and can lead to injuries, but people are paid for being athletes and for participating in competitions. Amateur sport means doing sport for pleasure, not rewards.

6) I think professional sport is interesting to watch but it isn't good for our health.

7) I woudn't like to be a professional athlete.

8) I'd like to go to the Olympics as a spectator, not a participant.

9) I always watch the Olympic Games on TV.

10) I like to watch figure skating, football, swimming, tennis, and track and field events.

11) Healthy food is food that helps us to be healthy: vegetables, fruit, lean meat, fish, dairy products.

12) I try to lead a healthy life, but sometimes it is difficult not to eat sweets and crisps. Ans sometimes I'm too lazy to go jogging in the morning.

13) In Russia people go in for a lot of kinds of sport.  I think the most popular ones are football, tennis and swimming.

14) I believe sport is good for health. It is certainly much better than being a couch potato.

15) I live in Russia, and we can say that our country (when it was part of the Soviet Union) hosted the Summer Olympics in 1980 in Moscow, and in 2014  the Russian Federation hosted the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.
