Exercise 2. Discuss on the given situation: You won 2 lottery tickets for the trip to FIFA World Cup. Who will you invite to go with, your brother, your colleague or your close friend? And share your impressions about the trip.
Exercise 3. Look at the photos. Have you ever done any of these sports?
| b) Read Part 1 of an article about five students who do the sports in the first picture and answer the questions: 1 What do the boys study? 2 What’s their house like? 3 How do they earn extra money? 4 How often do they do sport a day? 5 Who do you think is the fittest? | 
|
Part 1.
When you walk into number 4 Walpole Street, Chester, in the North of England, you have to be careful you don’t fall over the mountain bikes, sports bags and various pieces of sports equipment all over the hall. The house is occupied by five sports science students from University College, Chester, who eat, live and breathe sport. They work hard to keep fit. Karl, the canoeist, describes a typical day: “In the morning, we go for a run before breakfast, and then we have lectures at college. Then we go running again and or swimming, and then a quick lunch. In the afternoons we do coaching to earn some extra money, and evenings are spent in the gym or playing football”.
All five boys are obviously fit. But who is the fittest? We asked them to do a series of tests to find out the answer.
Exercise 4. Look at the questions and in pairs, guess the answers before you read Part 2. Choose from:
| the footballer the tennis player the canoeist the runner the shot putter |
1 Who had the least body fat? _________________
2 Who could keep running the longest time? ___________________
3 Who was the most flexible? _____________________
4 Who jumped the highest? _____________________
5 Who was the fastest sprinter? ___________________
Read Part 2 of the text. Check your answers in exercise 4.
Body fat. The testing started by measuring body fat. Not surprisingly, the one with the most was the shot putter, and the one with the least was the tennis player.

|
Endurance. The athletes had to run at a speed which was controlled by an audio signal from a cassette. After each minute, the signal got faster, and they had to try to keep going for as long as possible. The first to get tired was the shot putter who lasted 10 minutes followed by the canoeist (“you don’t have to run in a canoe!”), and the runner, not surprisingly, lasted the longest.
Flexibility. When they had recovered, they had to do some stretching. This gave the shot putter the chance to win some points, and he was the most flexible, followed by the runner.
Strength. The next test involved lifting weights to test the strength of their arms. Logically, the shot putter was the strongest. Then leg strength was measured using a jump test, and the runner jumped the highest, 1 cm more than the canoeist.
Speed. An electronic timing system was used to measure sprinting speed and the result, a surprise, was that the tennis player was the fastest, just ahead of the footballer, and the shot putter was last.
Abdominal muscles. To complete the fitness test, their abdominal muscles were tested by doing continuous sit-ups. The footballer only managed two minutes, and after five minutes the only one left was the tennis player who lasted the full eight minutes.
Exercise 5. Look at the photos of the Kazakh champions in London Olympic Games. Write their names in correct order:
| Olga Rypakova Serik Sapiyev Iliya Iliyn Alexander Vinokurov Yuliya Galysheva Svetlana Podobedova |
1. ____________
| 
2. ____________
| 
3. _____________
|
4. ________________
|
5. _______________
|
6. _______________
|
Exercise 6. Write an invitation letter to a conference, devoted to Kazakh sport.
Exercise 7. Listen to an interview with an ex-Champions League referee from Spain [1.6; p.9] and give T (true) or F (false) answers.
| True | False | ||
| 1. | I remember some of the Real Madrid-Barcelona matches | ||
| 2. | The atmosphere was incredible in the cinema | ||
| 3. | During my career there have been many great players, like Johan Cruyff and Diego Maradona | ||
| 4. | I was only 20 and I was refereeing a match in a town in Spain and the home team lost | ||
| 5. | That was my worst moment, and it nearly made me stop being a doctor. |

- Do you have a healthy lifestyle? Why/ why not?
Exercise 1. Use the extra information in sentences 1-5 to guess the meanings of the words in bold. Translate the sentences.
- He says he’s got the flu, but it’s really just a cold. He’s coughing a lot at night.
- He’s developed an allergy to cats. He starts sneezing as soon as he comes near one.
3. She’s got a stiff neck. She can hardly turn it.
4. I think I’ve sprained my ankle. I don’t think it’s broken.
5. I sometimes feel really dizzy and I have to sit down. The doctor says it might be because of high blood pressure
Exercise 2. Discussion. How many of the problems in bold and italics have you had in the last five years? Are there any you have never had?
Exercise 3. Match the patient’s and doctors’ comments
| a) It’s a chest infection. It should clear up with antibiotics. |
| b) Don’t scratch it. I’ll give you some cream for the itchiness. |
| c) It’s probably just sprained, but we should have it X-rayed. |
| d) Well, I have been under a lot of stress recently. |

| f) Did you feel dizzy or lose consciousness at all? |
| g) Will it need some stitches? |

Exercise 4. Look at the s ample Memo from Staff to Supervisor. Addressing late arrival for work as a result of not feeling well. Write your memo using new vocabulary.
| June 20, 2013 Date Address Dear Sir/Madam: Re: Late Arrival My Memo seeks to explain my absence from work this morning at the usual time. First, I apologise for being unavoidably late. I got up at the usual time and had all intentions of getting to work early, but for a severe headache (l bad feelings, high fever or adverse reaction to a recent meal). I called the doctor who advised I should come straight to his/her office. While there, I started feeling worse and was just unable to call to say I was running late. Again, I am really sorry for the late time I arrived; Sincerely, ______________________ |
Exercise 5. Read the text. Translate the text with a dictionary. You are going to read a medical website.
| Remember this is for information only. If you have any worries about your health, you should always consult your doctor!!! |
Fact or myth?
1. It’s difficult to ignore your mother when she tells you to “wrap up warm” or “dry your hair or you’ll get a cold”- but colds are not caused by the cold: they are caused by viruses! Walking around with wet hair or a T-shirt in winter may look silly, and will make you feel cold, but you will only get a cold or the flu, if you come into contact with an infected person. The best way to avoid viruses like these is to wash your hands regularly when there’s a bug going around.
2. Despite the huge medical advances that have been made over the last century, the common cold is still incurable and medicine does little for the symptoms either. Antibiotics won’t help as your cold is caused by one of over 200 viruses. The only time you may need them is if you develop a throat or ear infection. Otherwise, go to bed and drink lots of fluids and wait till you get better.
3. Acne is a hormonal condition which causes the skin to produce too much oil. Eating a lot of fatty foods may be bad for you in other ways, but research has failed to find any connection between diet and acne. Incidentally, washing too much can make the condition worse. It’s best just to wash gently twice a day and don’t rub the skin too hard.
Doctors have several ideas about what leads to arthritis including bacterial or viral infections and jobs which involve an overuse of your joints. Some types of arthritis can even affect children. However, no types are caused by cracking your finger joists.
Exercise 6. Answer the questions.
a) What do mothers often tell their children?
b) What is the best way to avoid catching a cold?
c) When you may need antibiotics?
d) What is the best way to deal with a cold?
e) What makes acne worse?
