Millions of people are fond of watching. There are many different TV programmes, shows, soups, interesting films, advertisements, news, plays to watch. My parents spend a lot of time watching everything. Of course, sometimes they show something interesting but not very often.  If somewhere something important or dangerous takes place journalists will report these events on TV, but their endless soups are awful. Other people say that television is becoming a national disease. I agree with them.  Lots of my friends are fond of watching but I have to confess, I hate TV programmes. I think it's waste of time. And I think that they damage their eyes, become lazy, put on their weight and have no time to do sports or to read books.  I prefer doing sports, playing games in the open air and taking part in different sport competitions. 

 Миллионы людей любят смотреть телевизор. Есть много различных телевизионных программ, шоу, сериалов, интересных фильмов, рекламных роликов, новостей, пьес, которые можно посмотреть по телевизору.
Мои родители проводят много времени, смотря все подряд. Конечно, иногда по телевизору показывают что-то интересное, но не очень часто. Если где-то что-то важное или опасное происходит, журналисты сообщат об этих событиях по телевидению, но их бесконечные сериалы - это ужасно.
Другие люди говорят, что телевидение становится национальной болезнью. Я с ними согласен.
Многие мои друзья любят смотреть телевизор, но я должен признаться, я ненавижу телевизионные программы. Я думаю, что это пустая трата времени. И я думаю, что они портят зрение, становятся ленивыми, увеличивают свой вес и не имеют времени, чтобы заниматься спортом или читать книги.
Я предпочитаю заниматься спортом, играть в игры на открытом воздухе и принимать участие в различных спортивных соревнованиях.

Me: Hi Fren, how are you doing with losing weight?

Fren: As usual, nothing changes, I want to lose weight, but I can't.

Me: Since it doesn't work, then you are doing something wrong?

Fren: I don't think the exercise at home helps me.

Me: I can advise you to try going to the gym

Fren: Why do I need this? Will exercising in the gym with a trainer help me lose weight?

Me: There are many benefits to the gym. For example, if you go to the gym, your metabolism will speed up. Bones, tendons, ligaments will be strengthened, blood pressure will normalize, strength indicators will increase, health will improve, you will gain confidence in yourself and your strengths.

Fren: Wow, that's cool, I didn't know it was that good, but doesn't the gym have any downsides?

Me: Of course there are downsides. For example, joint injuries (bruises, fractures), sprains, tears of muscles and tendons, muscle stiffness, sluggishness, loss of stamina, increased blood pressure. The listed disadvantages of exercising in the gym often arise only when a beginner neglects safety techniques ...

But you will be with the coach, and he will explain everything to you. Good luck, if you have the financial ability, you can give it a try.

Fran: Thanks, I will definitely try, I think it will help me.
