LESSON 2.
1. What does it mean to you to be healthy?
(To be healthy means that every organ works well. I don’t think being healthy
means beautiful or muscular. Your body is in good condition.
2. I think it is important to be healthy, isn’t it?
(Yes, it is. If you are healthy, you are happy, you can work and rest well. Sick
people usually have bad characters, they are never pleased or satisfied. They are
not easy to deal with)
3. Do you think it is important to lead a healthy way of life?
(Yes, I think. Otherwise you can easily fall ill and lose the possibility to lead a
happy life. Nobody likes to be ill. Sick people usually have bad characters, they are
never pleased or satisfied. They are not easy to deal with. They usually have few
friends, and have to spend much money on medicines and doctors instead of
having fun.)
4. What do you think one can do to be healthy? Does it have much with what
you eat?
(I think that a healthy way of life is eating healthy food and exercising regularly.
Giving up bad habits and going in for sports can make you healthy.)
5. Do you think going in for sports can make you healthy?
(Yes, I do. Exercise makes us strong and healthy, make our muscles work well)
6. What sports do you go in for? Are you good at sport?
(I do not want to go in for professional sport because it can be harmful and cause
injuries. I think if you are choosing a sport for keeping fit you should choose
something like jogging or table tennis, swimming. The possibility of injuring while
doing these sports is very low.
7. Do you keep to a certain diet? What is it if you do?
(I’m not really on a diet. What I can say I try to eat less of sugar, bread, sweets and
alike things)
8. Do you think it is OK to take pills to be healthy?
(I think if a doctor prescribes you to take medicines, that’s OK. But taking pills or
vitamins without consulting a doctor can be dangerous. )
9. Keeping your normal weight is very important for being healthy, isn’t it?
(Yes, I think one should exercise watch one’s weight)
10. What about exercising?
(Exercises make us strong and healthy because our muscles work well and get
enough food)
11. What else do you have to do to lead a healthy way of life?
(There are several hygienic procedures, which are necessary to be health, such as
visiting a dentist, cleaning your teeth correctly, taking shower every day. If you
don’t have any bad habits, watch your weight and exercise regularly, then your
way of life can be considered healthy.)

THE SECRETS OF A VERY LONG LIFE


There are several places in the world that are famous for people who live a
very long time. These places are usually in mountainous areas, far away from
modern cities. Doctors, scientists, and public health experts often travel to these
regions to solve the mystery of a long, healthy life; the experts hope to bring to the
modern world the secrets of longevity.
Hunza is high in the Himalayan Mountains of Asia. There, many people
over one hundred years of age are still in good physical health. Men of ninety are
new fathers, and women of fifty still have babies. What are the reasons for this
good health? Scientists believe that the people of Hunza have these three benefits:
1) physical work in the fields or with animals; 2) a healthful environment with
clean air and water; and 3) a simple diet high in vitamins and nutrition but low in
fat, cholesterol, sugar, and chemicals.
People in the Caucasus Mountains are also famous for their longevity. In this
area, there are amazing examples of very long-lived people. Although birth records
are not usually available, a woman called Tsurba probably lived until age 160; a
man called Shirali may have lived until 168. His widow was 120 years old. In
general, the people not only live a long time, but they also live well. They are
almost never sick, and when they die, they have not only their own teeth, but also a
full head of hair, and good eyesight.
Vilcabamba, Ecuador, is another area famous for the longevity of its
inhabitants. This region-like Hunza and the Caucasus-is also in high mountains, far
away from cities. In Vilcabamba, too, there is very little serious disease. One
reason for the good health of the people might be clean, beautiful environment.
The temperature is about 700 Fahrenheit all year long; the wind always comes from
the same direction; and the region is rich in flowers, fruit, vegetables, and wildlife.
In some ways, the diets of the inhabitants in the three regions are quite
different. Hunzukuts eat mainly raw vegetables, fruit (especially apricots) and
chapatis – a kind of pancake; they eat meat only a few times a year. The Caucasain
diet consists mainly of milk, cheese, vegetables, fruit, and meat; most people drink
the local red wine daily. In Vilcabamba, people eat a small amount of meat each
week, but the diet consists largely of grain, corn, beans, potatoes and fruit.
Experts found one surprising fact in the mountains of Ecuador: Most people
there, even the very old, consume a lot of coffee, drink large amounts of alcohol,
and smoke forty to sixty cigarettes daily.
However, the diets are similar in two general ways: 1) the fruits and
vegetables that the inhabitants of the three areas eat all natural; that is, they contain
no chemicals; and (2) the people consume fewer calories than people do in other
parts of the world. A typical North American takes in an average of 3,300 calories
every day; a typical inhabitant of these mountainous areas, between 1,700 and
2,000 calories.
Inhabitants in the three regions have more in common than calories, natural
food, their mountains, and their distance from modern cities. Because these people
live in the countryside and are mostly farmers, their lives are physically hard.
Thus, they do not need to go to health clubs because they get a lot of exercise in
their daily work. In addition, although their lives are hard, the people do not seem
to have the worries of city people. Their lives are quiet. Consequently, some
experts believe that physical exercise and freedom from worry might be the two
most important secrets of longevity.

2. The areas of the world where people live a very long time are usually near the
sea, and the weather is very hot.

4. According to experts, most people in these regions eat mainly junk food, drink a
lot of alcohol, and smoke cigarettes.
5. The secrets of long life might be lots of rest and no hard work.

TEXT: 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!

Read the text and questions below.
For each question, mark the letter next to the correct answer – A, B, C or D
The government published a report yesterday saying that we need to eat
more healthily- more fruit and vegetables, less fat and sugar. So that means fewer
burgers, chips and fried food as well as cutting down on sweet things. We went
into central London yesterday at lunchtime and asked people what they thought
about it. ‘It’s got nothing to do with the government what I eat,’ says Paul Keel, a
building worker, as he eats a beefburger and chips washed down with strawberry
milkshake. ‘ I think I have a healthy diet. You see, I don’t normally eat a
beefburger for lunch. Normally I just have the chips.’ Any fish? ‘I like cod. But
I’ve only ever had it once.’ Tim Kennor, a librarian, welcomes the government
advice. But he also has his own rules. ‘I think,’ he explains, eating his fried
chicken and chips,’ it’s important to eat a variety of food’. We then asked Dorothy
Matthews, aged 74. ‘I don’t think it’s the government’s business to tell us what to
eat.’ We went into Simpson’s restaurant and asked the manager if people had
changed what they were eating. ‘I don’t think people believe all these reports any
more. What they say is good for you in June, they say is bad for you in July.
People have stopped taking notice. We serve what we’ve always served. Almost all
of it is fattening.

EAT TO BE HEALTHY
Our eating habits affect how we feel during the day. What happens if I have
no breakfast, or poor breakfast? I’m likely to be tired or cross, and of course,
hungry till having lunch.
There is a ring of truth in that well-known saying: “A man is what he eats”.
Food is a form of fuel. It gives us energy, helps us to grow, resist disease and form
strong teeth and bones. No single food can take care of all body’s needs. Different
foods do different things for the body. Some foods are better than others in helping
make strong muscles. Among them are meats, eggs, fish and poultry. Some foods
are better in helping keep bones, skin and blood healthy. Among these foods are
fruit, vegetables, milk, and cheese.
There are certain sayings about foods from long ago. “Fish is ‘brain’ food”,
people say it’s good for brain. They say carrots are good for eyes. Another saying
is: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, - meaning that you will be healthy if
you eat an apple every day.
There are so many kinds of food – fast food, snacks, junk food that it may be
difficult to follow a healthy diet. Fresh fruit and vegetables are important for a
healthy diet. In the past, sailors who went on long sea voyages stayed on their
ships for many months without going ashore. They did not get fresh food and so
often suffered from a disease called scurvy. Scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin
C, which is found in fruit and vegetables.
In our country, bread is an important part of our everyday food. When we sit
down for a meal, there is always bread on the table. For breakfast, we have bread
with butter or cheese. Some people have jam or olives. For lunch, we have bread
with a meat or vegetable dish. Again at dinner, we eat bread with whatever food
there is on the table. When there is rise or potatoes, we have bread too. My granny
says that if there is not bread, there is no food.

EATING IN FAST FOOD RESTAURANT


A: Hi, Helen, what are you doing here?
B: Hi, Mike. I’m on my lunch break and I’m going to eat something.
A: I’m on mine too. Can I join you?
B: Sure. Where do you want to go?
A: Let’s go to Central Park for a hot dog with double ketchup and mayonnaise.
B: What? Do you really want to eat that unhealthy food?
A: What do you mean? I always have a hamburger or hot dog during my lunch
break.
B: You can’t be serious! It’s so fattening and unhealthy! It’s not good for you
at all!
A: You must be kidding! It’s tasty and you don’t waste your time waiting to be
served as you would in a restaurant.
B: Maybe you don’t waste your time eating in hot dog stalls but you definitely
waste your health!
A: But this kind of food is very nutritious and contains fibre, protein,
carbohydrates, and some vitamins.
B: Come on, it’s junk food!
A: Do you want to tell me that you never eat any takeaway food?
B: I sometimes eat Chinese food, but I try to lead a healthy life. I have my
lunch in a small vegetarian restaurant just round the corner from here where
the service is very quick and you don’t waste your time. Apart from eating
a tasty, low-fat meal, you can spend some time there with your friends, and
instead of standing up in a fast food bar, you can sit in comfortable
armchairs. Then afterwards you can have a delicious Italian coffee.

A: You’ve convinced me. Let’s go there.


B: But look what time it is! We have been arguing for ages and now we don’t
have time to eat anything.
A: Yes, we do. We can always have a hot dog in Central Park.

EATING IN FAST FOOD RESTAURANT (Dialogue)


Mike: -Привет, Элен, что ты здесь делаешь?
Helen: -Привет, Майк. У меня обеденный перерыв, и я иду что-нибудь
съесть.
Mike: - У меня тоже перерыв. Я могу к тебе присоединиться?
Helen: -Конечно. Ты куда хочешь пойти?
Mike: -Давай пойдем в Центральный парк на «хот-дог» с двойной
порцией кетчупа и майонеза.
Helen: -Что? Ты серьезно хочешь есть эту вредную еду?
Mike: -Что ты имеешь в виду? Я всегда ем гамбургер или «хот-дог» во
время обеденного перерыва.
Helen: - Ты не говоришь серьезно! Это такое жирное и нездоровое! Это
тебе вредит!
Mike: - Ты наверное шутишь! Это очень вкусно и не нужно тратить
времени в ожидании пока тебя обслужат, если бы ты был в
ресторане.
Helen: -Может ты и не теряешь время, когда ешь в ларьке «хот-дог», но
уж определенно наносишь ущерб своему здоровью!
Mike: -Но эта еда очень питательная, и содержит в себе клетчатку, белки,
углеводы и некоторое количество витаминов.
Helen: -Но в ней нет питательной ценности!
Mike: -Что ты хочешь этим сказать, что никогда не берешь никаких
готовых блюд на вынос?
Helen: -Я иногда ем китайские блюда, но стараюсь вести здоровый образ
жизни. Обедаю в небольшом вегетарианском ресторане, здесь за
углом, где обслуживание очень быстрое и не приходится терять
времени. Кроме того, что там можно съесть вкусную диетическую
еду, ты еще можешь провести там немного времени с друзьями, а
вместо того, чтобы стоять в ресторане быстрого обслуживания,
можно посидеть в удобных креслах. Затем можешь выпить
восхитительный итальянский кофе.
Mike: - Ты меня убедила! Пойдем туда!
Helen: -Но посмотри, который час! Мы так долго спорили, что теперь у
нас уже не осталось времени, чтобы съесть хоть что-нибудь.
Mike: - Да есть же! Мы всегда можем съесть «хот-дог» в Центральном
парке.

Is it good or bad for people to eat in fast-food restaurants?

2) the food is inexpensive yet tasty
3) the food is usually consistent (плотная)

READIND:
The title of the article below is The history of dieting. Paragraphs B-H are in
the wrong order. Decide on the correct order for the paragraphs, and write
the letter next to the number below. The first and last paragraphs are correct.

A The word “diet” originally meant ‘things that people usually eat’, but these days,
we use the word to mean an eating pattern or programme designed to change
something.
B But it has taken a long time to find out exactly what these are. Sea travel led to
some increase in understanding. When it became possible to build ships that could
go on long voyages, sailors started to spend many months at sea. They also started
getting a strange disease called ‘scurvy’. Eventually, it became clear that they
needed fruit or vegetables to survive. Today, we know that Vitamin C is the
reason.
C But when did it all start? There’s a story that in 1087, William the Conqueror,
King of England, had become so fat that he could no longer ride his horse. he
stayed in bed and drank alcohol instead of eating food to try and lose weight.
D Although the discovery helped their lives, there was much more that wasn’t
known. Nobody knew, for example, why some people got fat and others didn’t, or
what to do about it.
E Now, it may or may not have worked for him, but we can’t really recommend it
as an approach for most people. What’s important is the kinds of food you eat,
because different foods contain different things our bodies need.
F However, despite all these, we usually say ‘diet’ about losing weight. This is
certainly the area where the money gets spent. And it has a long history.
G We could be talking about any one of many different kinds. There are diets for
avoiding certain chemicals, like salt, and there are diets to increase amounts of
certain things, like potassium. There are even diets to help people put on weight.
H Then, in the 1890s, a chemist called Wilbur Atwater began investigating how
foods consisted of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. he found that he could
measure the heat value of these by burning them and called a unit of this heating a
‘calorie’.
I This measurement he created can be seen as the start of modern food science and
dieting. Since then, knowledge has come quickly-some people say too quickly!
Keys: A-this paragraph introduces the topic and the general idea of diets;
G- this paragraph goes on to explain ‘the different kinds ‘ of diets introduced in the
previous paragraph;
F- this paragraph picks up ‘all these’ the list of kinds in the previous paragraph-
and focuses on the modern meaning;
C-This paragraph begins with’ it’ meaning the ‘history’ at the end of the previous
paragraph;
E- this paragraph links to ‘William the Conqueror’ in the previous paragraph with
‘him’
B-this paragraph talks about these, linking back to different things our bodies need
in the previous paragraph
D- this paragraph links the discovery to the realization about Vitamin C in the
previous paragraph;
H- moves on from the previous one-‘nobody knew’ to the work of Atwarter;
I-links this measurement’ to the calorie.

Southdown’s healthy eating initiative began four years ago with the start of a
breakfast club.
now Ms Culley, the head teacher of the school, says that the teachers very
clearly see the link between diet and concentration. “Children’s concentration and
behaviour 3__________________.” The teachers would also like to give the
children the experience of eating together. It turned out that some children weren’t

The modern way of life, when people have little physical activity, use cars instead
of walking, watch television for many hours, and work on computers is turning
them into legless creatures. Although a lot of people are interested in staying
healthy, not many people do very much about it. Only 10% of adults take part in
sport more than twice a week.
The majority of people live in towns and cities, where space for team sports is
limited. To keep fit, most people take part in individual sports. They usually go
walking, swimming, cycling, or do aerobics. Taking part in all of these sports is
informal and casual. Most people just want to relax. If they do aerobics or go
swimming, they usually go to the sports centre; but not many people join a sport
club.
Some people argue that sports are not very useful. It takes a lot of energy and time.
As a result of going in for sports, people have broken legs and arms and other
injuries. Besides, it makes you unhappy when you lose. A lot of people prefer to
watch sports competitions rather than take part in sports. Thousands of people go
to the stadiums to support their favourite teams and sportsmen. The most popular
spectator sports are football, hockey and figure skating. Most of the important
competitions are televised, and people enjoy watching sports programmes on TV.
They needn’t buy tickets and go to a stadium, especially in cold and rainy weather.
But certainly watching sports events and going in for sports are two different
things.
In my opinion, people can’t do without sports. Sports play an important part in our
lives. I think sports help us in different ways. First of all, it helps us to stay in good
shape, to keep fit and to be healthy. It makes people strong, fast and agile. What is
more, sport builds character; it teaches us to compete and practice sportsmanship.
It makes us more organised and better disciplined in our daily activities. Besides, it
is a good way to meet people and to make new friends.
Sports are essential part of our everyday life. To have a healthy mind, you must
have a healthy body. But to be healthy, it is not necessary to become a professional
sportsman. You may go in for sports just for pleasure, when you have free time.
As for me I go in for table tennis ( ping-pong). It needs mobility, liveliness and
much energy. It keeps a person in form. I have been playing tennis for several
years but the more I play the more I like it. I get a real joy taking part in
competitions or simply playing with my friends.
I. Read the text about changing your lifestyle. Choose the correct alternative.
Many/Much/A lot health experts believe that children and young people
today are more unhealthy than they used to be. So why has this happened?
One reason is bad eating habits. A little/lot/many of young people don’t
have a healthy diet. They eat too much fast food like3 hamburgers and pizza and
not enough fruit and vegetables. In the US, many children eat/ are eating/have
been eating fast food regularly since they were very young. In fact, almost one
third of American children aged four to nineteen have eaten/ have been eating/ eat
fast food nearly all the time. They also don’t do exercise and spend too
few/much/many of their time watching TV, surfing the internet or playing
computer games.
So how can you change your habits if you’ve followed/’re following/’ve
been following an unhealthy lifestyle for a long time? First, change your diet and
eat more fruit and vegetables, next, find an activity you enjoy. Why not try
something different like rock climbing, surfing or hiking? Many young people
have found/ found/ been finding that becoming fit and healthy can be much/ little/
a lot of fun.

VEGETARIANISM
Mary: -Hi, Jane, how are you? I’ve heard you have become a vegetarian.
Jane: -Yes, that’s true. How did you know?
Mary: -Mary told me. She was very surprised.
Jane: -Why? I’ve always felt that eating meat is not healthy and that we should
protect animals.
Mary: -Is it only meat that you don’t want to eat?
Jane: -I avoid eating eggs too because in my view egg-eaters are really no
better, as eggs as future chickens.
Mary: -Are you such a passionate believer in vegetarianism? Are you one of
those vegetarians who regard people who eat meat as worse than
criminals?
Jane: -No, of course not. But I feel that everybody should think about their
eating habits and decide what is more important for them: pleasure and
killing or a healthy way of living and saving animals’ lives. I suspect a lot
of people never even think about animals and environmental protection
when they eat meat.
Mary: -Maybe you’re right but I suspect that all vegetarians harbour a secret
desire for a nice juicy steak from time to time.
Jane: -Even if that’s true, I’m not one of them. I prefer vegetables and I reckon
that nearly all consumers of such poisonous things as meat, sugar, white
bread and so on will die young.
Mary: -I hope you are not correct, although I admire your strong will. I doubt I
could ever give up eating meat, eggs, and cheese. But what about other
areas of life? I know that vegetarianism does not only concern food.
Jane: -Yes, vegetarianism in my personal philosophy. I fight against whaling
and seal-hunting and I would never buy a fur-coat. I refuse to accept that
zoos serve any useful purpose and I am in favour of wildlife parks and
nature reserves.
Mary: -That sounds interesting. Do you think that I could join you in your fight
but at the same time not change my eating habits?
Jane: -I’m sure I’ll convince you that eating meat is unhealthy sooner or later.
But it’s great that you want to fight for animal rights.

Mary: -Привет, Джейн. Как дела? Я слышал, что ты стала вегетарианкой.


Jane: -Да, это правда. Откуда ты знаешь?
Mary: -Мэри мне сказала. Она была очень удивлена.
Jane: -Почему? Я всегда думала, что вредно есть мясо и что мы должны
защищать животных.
Mary: -Ты не ешь только мясо?
Jane: -Я также избегаю яиц, потому что, по моему мнению, люди, которые
едят яйца, на самом деле, ничем не лучше, потому что яйца, это ведь-
будущие цыплята..
Mary: -Ты такая страстная сторонница вегетарианства? И одна из тех
людей которые относятся к людям, употребляющим в пищу мясо,
хуже, чем к преступникам?
Jane: -Нет, конечно, нет. Но я чувствую, что каждый должен думать о
своих предпочтениях в еде и решить, что более важно для него:
удовольствие и убийство или здоровый образ жизни и жизнь
животных. Я подозреваю, что многие люди даже и не думают о
животных и о защите окружающей среды, когда они едят мясо.
Mary: -Возможно, ты права, но я подозреваю, что все вегетарианцы, время
от времени, по секрету мечтают о вкусном, сочном куске мяса.
Jane: -Даже если это правда, я не принадлежу к их числу. Я предпочитаю
овощи и считаю, что почти все потребители таких вредных вещей,
как мясо, сахар, белый хлеб и так далее, умирают в молодом
возрасте.
Mary: -Я надеюсь, что ты не права, хотя восхищаюсь твоей сильной волей.
Я сомневаюсь, что когда-либо смогу перестать есть мясо, яйца и сыр.
А что относительно других областей жизни? Я знаю, что
вегетарианство касается не только пищи.
Jane: -Да, вегетарианство –это моя личная философия. Я борюсь против
охоты на китов и тюленей, и я никогда не купила бы шубу. Я не могу
согласиться, что зоопарки служат какой-либо положительной цели и
предпочитаю парки дикой природы и заповедники..
Mary: -Это интересно звучит. Как ты думаешь, я могу присоединиться к
тебе в твоей борьбе, но в то же самое время не изменять своих
предпочтений в еде?
Jane: -Я уверена, что рано или поздно мне удастся тебя убедить в том, что
есть мясо- это вредно для здоровья. Но это замечательно, что ты
хочешь бороться за права животных.

One must keep fit to do well at the University. One has to get up early to get
to the University in time, one has to spend long hours indoors attending lectures
and seminars or reading in the library. One has to stay up late getting ready for
seminars, writing essays or doing exercises for one’s English class. So one needs
to be strong and healthy. What are they ways to keep fit?
First of all you must miss no chances of outdoor activities as an antidote to
our sedentary lives (сидячий образ жизни). Of course, there is your physical
training class but that’s definitely not enough. Skating or skiing in winter and
swimming in summer must become part of your everyday life. Second, exercise.
You must exercise whenever you can – in the morning, after your classes, in the
evening. Jogging has become quite popular nowadays and a lot of people run
before breakfast. If you’re too busy in the morning, find some time for it in the
evening. Third, regular meals are a must if you want to keep fit. Try to avoid going
without any food for hours. Some students actually live on sandwiches. Remember
that an apple, a glass of milk or just a raw carrot that you brought from home is a
better snack than sandwiches and coffee. Fourth, and this is very important,
smoking is something you must give up for good if you want to keep fit.
There is nothing new in all this. It’s everything your mother told you, but
sometimes you didn’t listen. The key word is everything. You must work on
everything at once-exercise, diet, health habits. There are basic principles. Try to
build in at least a few routines that will last, something you’ll do every day from
now on.

1. Why is physical fitness necessary for your good progress at the University?
2. What are the four rules you must follow to keep fit?
3. What outdoor activities do you practice in winter/summer?
4. Do you exercise regularly?
5. When do you exercise?
6. Describe your eating habits. Do you think they are healthy?
7. Why is smoking harmful for your health?
