Jane: I`m glad you like it. It is always a pleasure to sit here and read magazines and newspapers after a long day in the office. And where do you live in St. Petersburg, Mary?
Mary: We live in a four-room flat in a new district of St. Petersburg.
Jane: Is your flat comfortable?
Mary: Yes, it is very comfortable. There is very much built-in furniture in our hall and in the kitchen. Our windows are large and the rooms are light.
Jane: In which room do you like to spend evening hours?
Mary: I like to spend my evening hours in the sitting-room. We usually watch television there or listen to music on the records.
Jane: Yes, it is always nice to spend a quiet evening with the family.
good health is very important for every person. moreover, there is nothing more important than health. wise people even say: “health is above wealth”, because if you don’t care of your health, you can’t study or work properly.
unfortunately, having perfect health is almost impossible nowadays. due to highly polluted environment people suffer from many diseases.
the best way to stay healthy is to do regular morning exercise, to eat healthy products, to sleep at least 8 hours a day and to quit bad habits. the good thing is that people are becoming more health-conscious. in my opinion, the number of smoking and alcohol drinking people is decreasing in our country. this is happening because people started to understand how dangerous these two bad habits are. obesity is another health problem. people, who eat lots of fattening food and do almost no exercise, are often overweight. a healthy diet involves many fruit and vegetables, seafood and wholegrain products. salt, sugar and fat should be avoided. excessive dieting can be also dangerous. some people refuse to eat meat and become vegetarian. however, doctors say that meat is an excellent source of good nutrition.
to my mind, one of the best ways to stay healthy and fit is to go in for various sports. my favourite sport is swimming. i spend a lot of time in the swimming-pool. i think it revitalizes my body and gives me energy for the whole day. other sports i enjoy are cross-country skiing and figure-skating. to stay healthy, it is also important to spend lots of time in the open air. it is especially useful to go for a walk before going to bed.
following these simple rules regularly is the only way to promote our health.
