1
In the past, people didn’t need sports like
running to stay healthy because they
were very active. But these days, many of us
spend most of the day sitting down. This means
we need to get some exercise in our free time,
and running is a cheap and easy way to do it. It’s
more fun than doing boring exercises in a gym,
and all you need is a good pair of trainers and
some comfortable clothes. Also, it’s a sport that
people can do at any age – for example Fauja
Singh finished a marathon at the age of 101!
2
To make running interesting, you can
enter a race. Fun runs are very popular.
These are often 5 km long and are great for
beginners. You can run with your friends
and maybe dress up. For fitter people,
there are half-marathons, marathons,
or even ultra-marathons. These can be
70–400 km long. One of the most famous
is the Marathon des Sables which takes six
days and goes through the Sahara desert.
3
Running is fun and scientists say it is
one of the best ways to keep fit. However,
make sure you don’t do it every day – it’s
important to have a rest between runs. Running
improves the health of almost every part of your
body, including your brain. It can make you feel
happier and healthier, and live longer. It also
helps you sleep well, and that gives you the
energy to enjoy your life more. Perhaps it’s the
perfect sport!

My family and I are going on a cycling
holiday soon, but I’m not very fit. Can you
give me some advice?
I want to improve my English. It’s really bad
and I feel worried! What should I do?
In pairs, think of three pieces of advice for each
person.

Another idea is to … It’s important to …
2 Compare your ideas with another pair’s ideas.
Who gave the best advice? Create a colourful ESL classroom presentation about for Uzbek students with very weak English. Keep the original lesson content. Simplify the English but do not remove the important exercises. Put the Uzbek translation directly under EVERY English sentence. Use one large, attractive, age-appropriate illustration or photo on every slide. Use very large fonts, short sentences, plenty of visual examples, colourful headings, and minimal text per slide. Make it suitable for teaching on a classroom projector. Do NOT make it look like a corporate presentation. Make it look like an engaging English lesson for teenagers.
Please keep it simple yet engaging
