Dear Ann,

I'm sorry that I haven't written you for a long time but I was very busy. Now I have some time to drop you a line.

My best friend is Jimmy. He's very fun and kind. We met two years ago in our school. I'm very glad to spend time with Jimmy. We usually play computer games. Jimmy is a very good player. He also studies well. Sometimes he helps me with this or that subject. We also go jogging in the mornings together.

And how are you? What do you think about my friend? Would you like to meet with Jimmy?

Well, I have to go now. See you later.

Love,

Tim.

Sport and Healthy Lifestylе

Sport and health are closely related. Generally speaking health has several components and sport is one of them. Others are healthy diet, hasteless and calm lifestyle, being in harmony with yourself and with others and positive attitude, of course. Sport is regarded more as a component of physical health.

However, everybody knows that healthy body means sound mind. Sport is mostly associated with young people, but that’s a false opinion. Many old people also regularly exercise. Nowadays, there are several ways to keep fit. First is to do regular morning exercises. Second is to exercise during the day through cycling, roller-skating, walking in the park, jogging, swimming, ice-skating etc. And the third way is to attend specialized fitness – centers, which can be found nearly everywhere now. They offer wide opportunities for people with different needs. They are often combined with swimming-pools or ice-rinks. There are many opportunities for such exercises as yoga, aerobics, karate, belly dancing, body building, weightlifting, and a simple work out in the gym.

Children also have numerous opportunities to keep fit. Every school offers physical education as a compulsory subject. Some schools even offer swimming lessons in summer and skiing lessons in winter. The most popular sports in our country are gymnastics, figure skating, football, hockey, skiing, athletics, swimming, tennis, basketball, volleyball and some others.

Everybody can choose the type of sport they want to do. Some people even become professionals; some simply do it as an amateur in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
