What steps do you follow to stay healthy?

Our modern world makes a person be flexible and mobile, that’s why people should be healthy and fit. Sport makes us strong. It quickens our reaction, teaches us to win and to lose. Sport helps us to have a healthy mind in a healthy body. For some people sport is a pleasure or hard work, even business, for others it’s a lifestyle.

Many people do their morning exercises, jog in the morning, attend sports sections and clubs. Besides, physical training is a compulsory subject in our schools. We play basketball, football or table tennis. In winter we usually ski.

I personally can’t imagine my life without sport. I jog in the morning and sometimes play sport games with my friends and go to the swimming pool. I also like to watch the Olympic Games, especially figure skating competitions, on TV.

For me, sport is a source of exciting emotions and feelings. But I understand that not only sport helps us to keep fit. Healthy lifestyle is necessary. There is a wise saying “You are what you eat” or “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”; which means that a balanced diet is the best way to get a healthy body.

We should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables full of vitamins. We should cut down the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food. Scientists say that such food increases danger of cancer and heart disease. WE should limit the amount of fizzy drinks, alcohol and fat or junk food. It leads to health problems. I personally try to eat only healthy food. I don’t eat a lot of meat or fried food. I try to eat porridge, fish, soup, salads, fruit and vegetables.

In conclusion I’d like to say that today people realize how important it is to stay healthy if they want to be active and successful in life.

Let’s talk about clothes and fashion. What role does fashion play in your life?

Clothes are very important in our everyday life. People choose clothes according to their personal style. Fashion reflects the social and economic status of each person. TV, music, magazines, our friends and even our parents influence our style. The style is like a language because it can tell much about a person. There are many reasons for our manner of dressing: physical attraction, emotions, religion, traditions. For example, at school we wear formal uniforms. I think that everybody has the freedom to choose the clothes he/she likes, but we should be appropriately dressed for the occasion. School is a place where students get knowledge, it’s not a playground. So, in general I like my school uniform, but when the school is over I wear my favourite clothes: jeans and sweaters. I am sure casual clothes are more comfortable than formal clothes. I should also mention that in our modern society fashion models, singers, actors and sportsmen are like idols for teenagers who try to copy their style, hair-do, even walk. You can see the lifestyle of celebrities on TV, in magazines and in the Internet. Their lifestyles play on our feelings and emotions. Some young people spend a lot of money to buy fashionable and expensive clothes. But I’m not a person of that kind. Of course, I like good and attractive clothes, but I try to think twice before spending money on clothes. Besides, the world of fashion is always changing. Many people think that those who have expensive clothes are much happier in their lives because being attractive is like being rich. That’s why we often judge people by their clothes. The clothes we wear tell a lot about us. For example, people in expensive clothes are called wealthy, rich and beautiful. And, on the contrary, we think that people in old and dirty clothes are ugly. I’m sure it’s better to have your own style in clothe and your own hairstyle to show your individually. In conclusion I should say that the best thing is not to worry about your clothes, but just try to be an interesting person.
