    Triathlon

    Triathlon is a sport that consists of three parts, swimming, cycling and running. Athletes race

    against each other. They swim first, cycle second and run last. Triathlon became an Olympic

    Sport in 2000 at the Sydney Summer Olympics in Australia. In the Olympics athletes swim for

    1.5 km, cycle for 40 km and then run for 10 km. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics in China the

    womens gold medal in triathlon was won by an Australian, Emma Snowsill, who completed

    the race in just under two hours. Jan Frodeno from Germany won the mens gold medal; he

    finished the race in one hour and 48 minutes.

    A popular triathlon event is the Sprint Triathlon. It is a shorter race. It is half the distance of the

    triathlon of the Olympics. In the Sprint Triathlon athletes swim for 750 metres, cycle for 20 km

    and run for 5 km. If you think that this is too short for you, you can try the Ironman Triathlon.

    I believe that doing sports is the best way to keep fit. There is always a kind of sport which will suit you.. If you like team games, try hockey, football, volleyball or basketball. Games for you to play with a friend include badminton, squash and tennis, and if you enjoy doing things on your own, you may take up swimming, riding, golf or athletics. For me, "Sport makes people healthy". No doubt, that's true. I only want to say that they should be careful and remember that the health is given to a human being only once, so, do your best not to lose it. An important attraction of sport is also its competitive and challenging nature. I like sport. In my opinion, you don't need to be good at sports to enjoy them - according to

    http://www.englishtopics.net/topicsmenu/4-topicshigh/8-sport-in-my-lifehttp://www.englishtopics.net/topicsmenu/4-topicshigh/8-sport-in-my-life

  • the Olympic motto it is the participation and not winning, that matters. I like sport. I'm sure you don't need to be good at sports to enjoy them - according to the Olympic motto it is the participation and not winning, that matters. I know it for sure that it's very difficult to become a good and successful sportsman. I believe that being a sportsman means constant hard work, lack of free time and almost absence of private life. Frankly speaking, if you want to achieve something in the sphere of professional sport, it has to become a style of life and even a sense of it.

    b) Look at this table of Communicative strategies. Then do exercises 1 and 2.

    Ask the students to have a look at the communicative strategies, then, ask them to compare the sentences and do the exercises 1 and 2.(10 minutes)

    Giving your opinion

    Asking for someones opinion

    I believe... / I dont believe ... In my opinion, For me, Personally, I think .. I think that... / I dont think that....

    Do you agree? What do you think about this? Do you think thats right? Whats your view? Are you OK with that?

    1. Check your language: asking for opinion. How can we

    make questions? Compare these two sentences:

    I believe that doing sports is the best way to keep fit. Do you believe that practicing sport is healthy?

    2. Visit this link and order the sentences to make question.

    sport and fill in the gaps.

    Play the video using the projector and ask the students to fill

    upload it on the blog. (30 minutes).

    Hey Sports fans! Welcome to my blog! I encourage everyone to chime in and give me your

    input on anything that I choose to discuss here. Im giving my opinion, so why not give me

    yours?

    This weeks blog is going to circle around the poll question for Football Fridays and that is

    whether or not athletics is as essential to high schools as academics.

    First things first: this matters to me because when I was in high school, I played tennis and

    basketball and I attribute both sports as the core of my lifestyle today. I believe that hands

    down, sports are just as important as academics and for some people, it can lead to amazing

    opportunities in college. I learnt discipline and I became conscious about exercising.

    I believe that there are some cases when kids need to have activities to keep them busy in

    order to keep them out of trouble. High school is supposed to be one of the most exciting

    times of your life. You grow so much during those years. Who are some people in your life that

    this has affected?
