How are sport and exercise good for us? Discuss your ideas with a partner and write them down.
Sports and exercise are really good for us.
Firstly, they make our bodies stronger. When we run, jump or play ball games often, our muscles grow and we have more energy. For example, running can make our legs powerful.
Secondly, they're good for our minds. After exercise, we feel happy because our body releases something that cheers us up. It can also help us relax when we're stressed.
What’s more, doing sports helps us make friends. We play together, talk and help each other.
In a word, sports and exercise bring us lots of benefits.
Read three students’ accounts of their ways to keep fit. Fill in the blanks with use an exercise app,skateboarding,or play baseball.
