Pre – reading
T: Before you read, try to guess if sport is so

T: Read the paragraphs below and see if you were right.
I am Alison
and I am not very fond of sports. I am a bit plump and it is difficult for me
to run and jump. I don’t like to compete, but I like to watch sports on TV.
Best of all I like watching figure skating. I sometimes go skating myself.
I am Peter.
Sport plays a great role in my life. I love every kind of sports – football,
hockey, volleyball and basketball. I also play chess and I love to play
football. I go to our local football club every spare minute and my dream is to
become a football player. I also watch football on TV a lot.
I am Ann. I
am not crazy about sports, but I think it is very important to keep in good
form and stay healthy. I want to become a model, so I take great care about my
body. I go jogging every day and I attend fitness room three times a week. When
I have time, I also attend classes of aerobics, but they are quite expensive,
so I can't go as often as I want.
My name is
Alex. I don’t understand people who think only about sports and physical
perfection of their body or watch others doing the same on TV. Such people miss
out a lot in their lives. It is much more fun to train brains. In the modern
world people do not need muscles, difficult things can be done by machines. I
am happy sitting on my sofa with a book or in front of the computer.
