C Read this talk by a fitness instructor and answer the questions. Then underline the
words that mean the same thing as the words in bold in the text.
Why exercise?
Exercise is important for your body in many ways. First of all, exercise builds
muscles. You need strong muscles to do all the things you want to do during the day,
even if your favourite hobby is playing computer games. If your muscles aren't strong,
you can get tired easily.

Did you know your heart is a muscle? That's why exercise is good for your heart too.
A strong heart can help prevent heart disease. This illness kills many people in
developed countries because they don't have healthy habits. The best activities for your
heart are activities like running that make you breathe hard.

Exercise is good for you because it helps you use the calories you get from food. If
you don't exercise enough, the calories you don't use can make you fat. And people
who are overweight are generally not as healthy as those who are not.

The best reason to get exercise is that it's fun. If you enjoy being with other people, try
playing basketball or volleyball. Team sports are a good way to make friends and have
fun while you got fit. But you don't have to do a sport to get exercise. Try walking or
taking the stairs. These activities don't take much time, but if you do then, regularly,
they can help you get fit.

1 Why do you need strong muscles?

You need strong muscles so that you don’t get tired when you do activities
during the day.
2 What kills many people in developed countries?
Heart disease kills many people in developed countries.
3 How does exercise keep you slim?
Exercise uses up the calories you get from food, so it keeps you slim.
4 What sports are a good way to make friends?
Team sports like volleyball and basketball are a good way of making friends.
5 How can you get exercise without doing a sport?
You can get exercise by walking or using the stairs.

111
 D Write a paragraph about your favourite sport.

These questions might help you to plan.

Proofread your paragraph when you have finished. Think about how punctuation can
help the reader understand it

My favourite snort is football. I like it very much because it helps me have a lot of
friends, keep fit and healthy. I like watching and playing football. My favourite team
is Iraqi National team. I usually watch football on TV, but sometimes I go with my
friends to the stadium, we support, sing and dance. We enjoy our time and build our
bodies in a healthy way by this great snort

 Lesson 6
A Read about the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping. Is the author
mostly for or against it?

ONLINE SHOPPING
More and more families are getting computers and Internet access and many adults and
teenagers are buying products online Many people think online shopping is wonderful,
but many others don't like it, or are afraid to try it out. Let's look at some of the reasons
why.
Shopping online is easier than shopping in a shop. One reason for this is you don't
have to leave your home. Have you ever driven or walked from shop to shop looking for
something very special and come home exhausted at the end of the day? With online
shopping, you can visit hundreds of stores from your home It is also easier because you
don't have to carry heavy shopping bogs. When you go to the mall, you have to carry
everything with you. You may try to do a lot of shopping at once to save time. Your bags
get heavier and you get tired If you buy what you need online, it is delivered to your
house and you don't need to carry It at all.
Another reason people like shopping online is that it can be less expensive. Shopkeepers
spend money to take care of their shops. Because of this, they often charge more for their
products. Products that you buy online often don't come from a real shop, so they can cost
less n is also easier to compare prices on the Internet to find the lowest one
However, there are disadvantages to shopping online. One is that you can be disappointed
when the product arrives. This can happen because you can't see or touch the real product
when you shop online. You can only look at a picture This is usually not a problem if you
buy o book or a computer game, but imagine what can happen if you buy shoes online.
They may be too big or too small. If you open your box and find your new toy is broken,
you really feel bad.
Is it safe to buy online? Can people find out information about you and steal your money?
Yes, they can if you are not careful. You should always make sure you are shopping on a
safe site. If there is a little picture of a lock at the bottom of your screen, the site is safe
Shopping online can have disadvantages. However, if you think carefully about what you
buy and where you buy it, it can save you time and money.

121
 B Highlight the important parts of the text. Then write a summary of the main point.

Shopping online is easy because you don’t have to travel anywhere and you don’t
have to carry anything. It can also be cheaper because the people selling things online
don’t have the expense of running a shop and because you can easily compare prices
online and find the cheapest.
There are two disadvantages. First, you may be disappointed when the things you buy
arrive. For example, clothes may not fit you. Secondly, shopping can be unsafe, but not if
you use a safe site

B Work with two partners. Say what you think about shopping online. Think about
what the text said and these questions:

1 What kinds of things can you buy online?

2 Do you agree with the advantages discussed in the text?
3 Can you think of any other advantages?
4 Do you agree with the disadvantages discussed in the text?
5 Can you think of any other disadvantages?
6 Do you like going to shops? Why?/Why not?
7 Have you ever bought anything online?
8 Would you like to?

 E read about Saturn and answer the questions.
Saturn is a giant planet. Second only to Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system,
Saturn is ten times as wide as Earth. Unlike Earth, it is not a rocky planet but is made
mainly of gases.
When people think of Saturn, they think of its rings. The rings were first seen in 1610.
At the time, telescopes were not very strong and the rings were not very clear. Today, if
you look through a modern telescope, you will see that Saturn has hundreds of rings.
They are mostly made of ice, although some contain small rocks.
Several spacecraft have visited Saturn. The first three visits were by Pioneer II in 1 979,
Voyager 1 in 1980 and Voyager 2 in 1981. Today, the spacecraft Cassini is visiting
Saturn. Cassini is sending back pictures of Saturn's rings and moons. Saturn has over 40
moons, many of them very small. Most of them orbit Saturn at the edge of the rings, but
pictures from Cassini have shown us that at least two small moons orbit inside Saturn's
rings. Cassini is also sending back a lot of pictures of Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
Scientists hope these pictures will help them understand how Titan was formed.

1 What planet is larger than Saturn?

Jupiter is larger than Saturn.

2 What is Saturn made of?

It is mostly made of gases.

3 How is Saturn different from Earth?

Saturn is much wider than Earth and it is made of gases, not rocks

4 What are Saturn's rings made of?

Saturn’s rings are mostly ice, with some small rocks.

5 Where do Saturn's moons orbit?

Most of them orbit at the edge of the rings, but some orbit inside the rings.

since there is no gravity. However, they need to stay fit for when they get back to
Earth. This environment can be bad for the muscles and bones, so the astronauts have
to exercise and have a healthy- diet. They use special machines to exercise. They eat
food with lots of calcium and vitamins. To help them sleep, they wear eye masks to
keep out the light and earplugs to shut out the noise.

I think about this question and I discovered that the answer is to be a pilot. I love this job
and I hope to make this dream true.

languages. It is a great chance to visit countries while you are working.
In addition to that, it is enjoyable to travel high in the sky, above the clouds away from the
crowded streets.
And last but not least being a pilot is a chance to be rich. I think pilots earn a lot of money.
