Reading
9 Read the text.
Interviewer Dr Watson! Just how important is sport for teenagers?
Dr Watson 1_________________ It's no good just spending two or three hours a day playing video games.
You can't be fit and healthy if you hardly ever do exercise. Three or four hours a week is OK. Different
sports exercise different parts of the body. For example, swimming is excellent for your arms and shoulders.
2_________________ Then, there are team sports, where you need to use special skills to play well. Team
sports can also help you work more easily with other people – and this is important when you want a job.
Interviewer 3_________________
Dr Watson These are not a very good idea, because they can be quite dangerous. You need special
protection like a helmet for your head, pads for your knees and elbows. It's always a good idea to work with
a trainer, who can help when you have problems.
Interviewer 4_________________
Dr Watson Things like board games or bowling can also be very good for you. They don't give you much
physical exercise, of course, but they are important mental exercise. And they are often good fun too.
5_________________ Oh, and finally, I would also recommend listening to or playing music. It's important
to work with both mind and body, and music can do that very well!
