Answer 1

Nowadays, keeping fit is everyone’s concern and I am not an exception. Since I am very busy, I can’t arrange time to go to the gym as often as when I was a student. However, in order to stay fit, I register for a street dance club, we practice twice a week near Hoan Kiem lake .

Unlike running on the treadmill, dancing is more fun. It helps me burn a lot of energy. In addition, it enhances my flexibility with a lot of stretching movements. Dancing also allows me to work on all the parts of my body. You might look at dancers and think that dancing is light and easy, but you are wrong. In order to be that flexible and light, dancers have to work on their core muscles to maintain their stamina. Dancing can help to burn as many as 360 calories in just an hour of intensive training.

By maintaining a schedule of dancing twice a week, I successfully manage to keep fit. Not only that, dancing helps me release stress especially after a hard working day.

   Money is necessary to improve facilities and train athletes
   The level of professional sport is much higher than that of amateur sport

   In daily life we compete to get jobs or the highest grades
   Sports are a safe form of competition
   Healthy because it pushes us to give our best
   Competitors and fans can release energy and aggression Supporters of teams feel a sense of belonging to a community
4. Opinion: professional sport salaries are too high
   Sports professionals earn too much money
   They do not provide a vital service
   Football players, for example, earn enormous salaries by simply kicking a ball
   We could all live happily without professional football
   Life would be difficult without doctors, engineers and other vital professionals.
   Society does not seem to value these professions as highly as professional sport
   Sports salaries should be compatible with the wages most people earn
5. Opinion: professional sport salaries are fair
   It is fair that the best professional earn a lot of money Sport is a multi-million-pound industry
   There is a large audience of sports fans

   Only the most talented among them will reach the top
   A sports career many only last 10 years
   Sports fans are willing to pay to support their teams
6. Sports and Politics

   Governments are involved in the hosting of sporting events such as the Olympics.
   These events attract investment and create jobs.
   The Olympic Games are an advertisement for the host nation
   They attract huge numbers of visitors and sports fans
   Wealthy countries tend to hold these events
   Developing countries should be given the chance to become hosts
