Reading Task 1. Read the text. Are the statements True or False? Transport

There are as many means of transport as you can only imagine. They are a bus, a bicycle, a car, a ship, a train, a plane and so on. And today I want to discuss all of them.
The most popular means of transport is a car. Nowadays there are so many car producers and brands that a car becomes the most popular and comfortable type of transport. You can travel by car everywhere. Another popular transport is a bus.
The cost of travelling by bus is much lower than that of a car.
Bicycle is popular among young people. They use it during the warm seasons to travel around the city or the nearby places. It’s healthy and affordable for most of people.
Train is popular for its low cost and cozy atmosphere. You can make a long travel on the train and don’t need to pay a lot for it.
Planе is popular for its speed but the cost is quite high. The most luxurious means of transport is a ship. I mean not those small ordinary ships, but the ones that travel across the oceans with thousands of tourists. They are often called liners. So we just need to pick up the one we like and completely enjoy it.

Swimming Плавание
My name is Nikita and I’m fourteen years old. I’d like to tell you about my favourite type of sport. It’s swimming, of course. I’m into this sport since the very childhood. I even have some awards and medals for excellent swimming. We all choose which sport is the best for us. Some prefer cycling, some choose tennis, others go with basketball or football. It all depends on one’s tastes, talents and physical abilities. I chose swimming as I grew up in the countryside with a large lake. Together with my childhood friends we always went to swim in it. I can’t say it was crystal clear, but it was definitely useful in summer. Whenever it was too hot, we could go to the lake to freshen up or simply to sunbathe. Later on, when we moved to the city, I chose to attend professional classes of swimming. There were several reasons for it. Firstly, my parents regard swimming as a very healthy type of sport. And I agree with them. Every training makes me feel stronger, both physically and mentally. Other than that, it strengthens my immune system and boosts my spirits. Secondly, attending the swimming-pool brings me great joy. I have two classmates who go there with me, but we try not to get distracted. We can always chat or fool around after the training is over. One of my friends, who is rather fat, says that swimming is not as important as other sports. Hearing that, my coach said that one session of swimming is much healthier than any dieting. It burns as many calories as are found in an average piece of cake. Thus, swimmers don’t tend to gain extra weight. In conclusion, I’d like to say that there is nothing better than swimming when we want all our muscles to relax. перевод Меня зовут Никита и мне четырнадцать лет. Я хотела бы рассказать вам о своем любимом виде спорта. Это, конечно же, плавание. Я занимаюсь этим видом спорта с самого детства. У меня даже есть несколько наград и медалей за отличное плавание. Мы все выбираем, какой вид спорта лучше для нас. Некоторые предпочитают кататься на велосипеде, некоторые выбирают теннис, другие выбирают баскетбол или футбол. Все зависит от личных вкусов, талантов и физических Я выбрала плавание, так как выросла в селе, где было большое озеро. Вместе с друзьями детства я ходила туда купаться. Не могу сказать, что оно была кристально чистым, но уж точно было полезным летом. Всякий раз в жару мы могли пойти к озеру освежиться или просто позагорать. Позже, когда мы переехали в большой город, я решила посещать профессиональные курсы по плаванию. Для этого было несколько причин. Во-первых, мои родители расценивают плавание как очень здоровый вид спорта. И я с ними согласна. Каждая тренировка заставляет меня чувствовать себя сильнее, как физически, так и морально. Кроме того, она укрепляет иммунную систему и повышает мне настроение. Во-вторых, посещение бассейна приносит мне большую радость. У меня есть два одноклассницы, которые ходят туда вместе со мной, но мы стараемся сильно не отвлекаться. Мы всегда можем поболтать или подурачиться после тренировки. Одна из моих подруг, которая слишком полная, говорит, что плавание не столь важно, как другие виды спорта. Услышав это, мой тренер сказал, что один сеанс плавания гораздо полезнее, чем любая диета. Он сжигает столько калорий, сколько встречается в среднем куске пирога. Таким образом, пловцы не склонны набирать лишний вес. В заключение я хотела бы сказать, что нет ничего лучше, чем плавание, когда мы хотим, чтобы все наши мышцы расслабились.
