Dear Laurence,

I am always hungry. I eat three good meals a day but then I want crisps and biscuits too. Of course, now I am quite fat. Can you help me? Lois

Dear Laurence,

I know I have an unhealthy diet. I work about 10 hours a day and get home late, so I don’t have time to cook and I eat convenience food. What can I do? James

Dear Laurence,

I try to eat a good diet – I eat pasta and vegetable, and I don’t eat any meat, fish or cheese – but I’m always tired. What is wrong with my diet? Karin

Dear _______

It is horrible when you feel tired all the time. You need some meat, fish or cheese on your diet. They give you energy. Also, why don’t you take some exercise? That gives you energy too. How about a walk every evening after work? I hope that helps. Laurence (Total English, St’s Book, 39)

YI. People’s rubbish tells us about their lives. Here Laurence looks at the diet of two families. Do you agree with him about the diets of these families? Speak about your diet.

Hello and welcome to In the rubbish bin, the show where we look at people’s lives by looking at their rubbish. I am Laurence Redburn. Today we look at the diets of two very different families. I have their rubbish bins in the studio, with a typical day’s rubbish, so, let us start with the rubbish bin A. What does thus family eat and drink? We have some cans… cola cans – not very healthy. Mmm, instant coffee. Some boxes … cheese and tomato pizza, burgers. Some biscuits, and crisp packets – all fast food, and not very healthy. Do they eat any vegetables or fruit? I don’t think so. Oh dear, not a healthy diet. A lot of this food is bad for you, so this family is probably not very healthy.

Now let’s look at the rubbish bin B. This is very different – it’s good. The family eats a lot of fruit and vegetables … some potatoes, carrots, … bananas and apples. What do they drink? We have some juice cartons, some milk bottles ands we have a water bottle … two water bottles – very good, all very healthy so far. Tea bags … well OK. They eat some pasta, and fish – that is good. I can’t see any fast food here. I think it’s a very healthy family. (Total English, St’s Book, Typescripts, 152)

SPORTS AND GAMES.

Sport has played an important part in our lives for many centuries. For some people it is as necessary and natural as eating and sleeping. For others it is just entertainment on TV. Some people do amateur sports and some are professionals.

Sport at an amateur level should be for enjoyment and fitness.Fitness comes not only from exercises done but from the way you live all the time. Good eating and sleeping habits, also plenty of fresh air are important parts of the way to keep fit.

Professional sport is an exciting sphere of hard work and competition. But professional sport seems less to do with enjoyment and more to do with making money. Sport is not just for participants, it is for spectators too. Millions of people all over the world spend hours watching sports events on TV, or at stadium. People enjoy being “fans” or supporters of one team or one particular sport personality.

The government policy in Belarus is to make sports accessible to all. The country has excellent sporting facilities in schools and higher education facilities. Belarusian sports facilities for the general public include: stadiums (243), swimming pools (250), gymnasiums (about 5,000), athletics centers (46), ice rinks (20), sports grounds. Many sports are played in Belarus. Amongst the most popular are: track and field athletics, football, gymnastics, skiing, hockey, tennis, fencing, wrestling, volleyball, handball, swimming, chess and checkers. The Raubichi Centre in Belarus is considered to be one of the best biathlon centers in the world. It has a ski track, freestyle slopes, ski jumps, shooting grounds with mechanical targets, indoor sports centre with gymnasiums, artificial pitches and swimming pools.

Belarus has already produced 280 world and European championsin different sporting disciplines. In theBeijing 2008 games,Belarus won 19 medals, including 4 gold and 5 silver. The team was most successful in athletics, canoeing and weightlifting, and finished 16th in the medals table overall. Belarus also fields a strongParalympics team. At the 2008 Beijing Paralympics Belarus won a total of 13 medals including 5 golds.

As for me, I like sports, though I am not active at it now. When I was at school I did sports more. I liked swimming and I went to the swimming pool regularly. But now I hardly do sports regularly, though I understand that it makes people strong, healthy and optimistic.
