What health problems does fast food lead to? What should you do to avoid them?

In fact, fast food is very unhealthy. It has additives which make it tastier, but which are dangerous for our health. People, who often eat fast food, become overweight. In order to lose weight they should do regular exercise and eat healthy food. A well-balanced diet includes different products: grains, fruit, vegetables, dairy products, meat and fish.

19. Let’s talk about sport.

1) Let’s talk about sport. What is your favourite kind of sport?

A lot of people all over the world are fond of sports and games. Sport helps them to keep fit and healthy. Many sports are popular in Belarus. They are: football, basketball, volleyball, weightlifting, tennis, track-and-field, boxing, wrestling, fencing, figure skating and others.

I’ma great sports fan. I’m simply crazy about figure skating and gymnastics. I think these are the most beautiful kinds of sports. I look forward to all the competitions in figure skating and gymnastics, and I usually watch them from beginning to end. And I’m very proud when Belarusian athletes show high results.

 

2) What do you do to keep fit?

Personally I go in for volleyball (football, tennis). I also try to eat more fruit and vegetables, drink more water, and have positive emotions. I also avoid bad habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs or overeating.

3) What questions will you ask a professional sportsman?

4) Are there any sports clubs at the lyceum? Which of them will you advise your friend to join?

There are several sports clubs at our lyceum. They are very popular. We all enjoy going on boat trips and on hikes, and our tourist club is our favourite place in the lyceum. We talk about our trips and sing tourist songs there.

 

5) Some pupils try to skip PE lessons thinking they are of less importance than other school subjects. What do you think about it?

I think that PE lessons are as important as other school subjects. They help us to keep fit.

In addition, team sports develop our social skills and teach us to cooperate with others.

20. Let’s talk about fashion.

1. Let’s talk about fashion. What clothes do you prefer to wear in different situations?

I think that in different places we need to wear different clothes. At school we have a dress code and our clothes should be businesslike. So I usually wear trousers, a shirt and a pullover (trousers or a skirt and a jacket or a blouse). If I go out with my friends, I can wear something casual and comfortable, for example jeans and a sweater. But if I go to the theatre or to some formal event, I try to look elegant, so I put on a suit, a shirt and a tie (a beautiful dress).I believe that one of the most important things is to look neat and clean and always have clothes that fit you.

1. Do you prefer fashionable clothes to comfortable ones? Why (not)?

Frankly speaking, I prefer comfortable clothes.( Of course, I try to follow the latest trends in fashion but some fashionable clothes can be unsuitable for everyday wear. For example, it can be quite difficult to walk up the hill to our lyceum in some fashionable high-heeled shoes or boots.) I think when you are comfortable you have confidence, and when you feel confident you look more attractive.

3. What questions would you ask a fashion designer?

1. What can you advise a person who wants to change something about his/her style but doesn’t know how to do it?

I believe that one of the most important things is to look neat and clean and always have clothes that fit you. One should also remember about proportion in clothes. The general rule of fashion proportion is that a big top needs a small bottom part and a small top needs a big bottom part.Wearing only one colour is boring and wearing all the colours of the rainbow at once is too much. You ought to find a balance. And last but not least, you should remember that accessories are as important as your clothes and your footwear.
