II. Read the text and questions below. For each question, circle the correct letter A, B, C or D.

EXERCISE CAN BE FUN!

Exercise has become a huge part of our world. There are gyms everywhere, but if you’re not keen on them, there
are hundreds of exercise videos to choose from. Exercise is good for you. It makes you feel better, look better
and can help you live longer.

But what happens if you are the kind of person who would do anything rather than spend five minutes on an
exercise bike, including cleaning the house, visiting a boring relative or watching a terrible TV programme? If
you are that kind of person, you need a plan!

First of all decide when you are going to exercise. Choose three times a week, like me. Write EXERCISE in your
diary, on your calendar, on the wall if necessary! Then make sure you do it. Don’t do anything else. I never make
other arrangements.

Next, vary what you do. I went to the same aerobics class for two years! No wonder I was bored! Now I use
different machines at the gym, I often change my jogging route and I never do aerobics.

Make exercise fun and find an exercise you enjoy. Why not play a sport, or join a dance class? I recently started a
modern dance class. It’s great fun and I’ve met lots of new people, but as soon as I get bored I’ll find something
else.

1. What is the writer main aim in writing the text?

A. to describe different ways of keeping fit.

 B. She may not do it forever.
