1. Read the interview:
Interviewer: We spoke to some girls to find out their opinions about sport.
Speaker 1: I play tennis quite often, and it’s a great form of exercise. It keeps me healthy. It’s important to stay in shape and a good game of tennis really makes your body work. Everyone needs to find a way to get some exercises and for me, it’s tennis.
Speaker 2: I’m not really very interested in most sport, but there is one I like – motor racing. Some people think it’s boring to just watch car going round and round, but I love it. It’s really exciting, and it takes a lot of skill. I’d like to try it, but I think I’d be a bit frightened because they go very fast.
Speaker 3: We’ve tried a few different sports at school, and I really like playing volleyball. It’s a great feeling when you know you’ve played better than the other team. You have to be quite fit to do it well. I’d like to play it again, but none of my friends are interested. I think I need to find a team in my local area.
Speaker 4: I love going to football and basketball matches. I try to go every weekend, with my friends. What I like about those sports is that the players have to work together to be successful. You can be a fantastic player, but without the others, you’re nothing.
Speaker 5: I like sport, but I don’t really take it seriously. Winning and losing aren’t very important to me, but spending time with my friends. We get together every Saturday and play a different sport – football or baseball, usually. It’s a lot of fun.

4. Comment on the following:
Nowadays many people think they are too fat even if their doctors disagree. They think the best way to improve their fitness is following a diet. But is dieting really so effective and healthy?
On the one hand, if you want to lose weight it is very important to keep your eye on what you eat. To begin with, you should cut down snacks and desserts. Besides, you ought to cut down on fat as it is believed to be one of the main causes of obesity. Finally, you may reduce the amount of food you eat and lose weight.
On the other hand, strict dieting may be dangerous as well as fast food. Fast food is not nutritious, it is rather harmful to our health.
