Unit 8: Exercise 2
Listen to the speakers and choose the correct answers, True or False.

1 I think listening to music and enjoying art are good for relaxing. A lot of people think
they’re expensive but you can listen to music online and lots of museums are free, so I don’t
agree with them.

2 I know some people say reading books is relaxing, but I’m a student so I read a lot of
books, and when I’m relaxing I don’t think reading is an interesting activity.

3 I like to spend time with my friends, like everyone, but I prefer to meet my friends at home.
I think that’s more fun than going out, and it’s cheaper!

4 I know a lot of people who don’t agree that it’s important to get enough sleep, but
sometimes, I don’t get enough, and I always feel terrible the next day. So I think they’re
wrong.

5 I don’t like drinking water, and so I don’t drink it. But I drink lots of tea and fruit juice and
they both have water in them, so I drink it that way. Which is good because I do think it’s
important!
6 Playing basketball is very hard work, but it’s very good exercise. I play twice a week. It
helps keep me fit, but I enjoy it as well. It’s a great way to relax and have fun with my
friends.

Unit 8: Exercise 4
Listen to Susan talking about the Park Health Centre. Choose have to or don’t
have to to complete the sentences.

Hello, my name’s Susan, and I’m the manager of the Park Health Centre.
We’re open to everyone. Some people think that we’re only open to people
who are ill or unhealthy, but that’s not true. Anyone can visit us if they’re a
member of the centre; so if you aren’t a member, you need to join first. You
should go to our website, www.parkcentre.com. It is important that you live in
the local area. If you live in another part of the city, you should go to one of our
other centres.

At our centre, we offer advice on many different areas of health and keeping fit;
how to lose weight, eating a healthy diet and using exercise to help with
problems like aches and pains, for example. But if you’re just looking for
general advice on health, that’s fine. Maybe you would like to share your own play.MP3
ideas with us!

We also have some great classes such as yoga and Pilates, for example, but
they’re quite advanced, so it’s important that you’ve got some experience if you
want to join those classes. We have healthy eating classes as well, where you
can learn to make good healthy food for all the family. Don’t worry if you’re
not a great cook, our recipes are very easy to follow!

Remember, we’re open to all the family and…

1. you have to/don’t have to feel ill or sick to visit the centre.

2. you have to/don’t have to be a member to visit the centre.

3. Members have to/don’t have to live in the local area.  

4. you have to/don’t have to be looking for advice for a health problem to join the
centre.

5. If you want to join yoga or Pilates classes, you have to/don’t have to have some
experience.

6. you have to/don’t have to be a great cook to do the healthy eating classes.

Unit 8: Exercise 5
Listen and match each opinion with one of the two speakers, David or Emma.
Emma: Hi David.
play.MP3
David: Hi Emma.

Emma: Where are you going?

David: I’m going to the gym.

Emma: Do you always go alone?

David: No, I don’t. I usually go with my friend, Paul, but today I finished class
early.

Emma: That’s good. You should always go to the gym with friends if you can.
It’s fun to do exercise with other people.

David: Well, there are some sports you can do on your own.

Emma: Really!? Oh yes, like swimming I suppose. But anyway, I don’t play
sports, I’m not fit enough.

David: That’s not important. As you said before, playing sports is about having
a good time. And it helps you get fit.

Emma: OK! OK! I understand. I should start doing some sports.

David: Yes, you’d enjoy it! And if you stop eating fast food that would help
you to get fit as well. All those burgers aren’t good for you.

Emma: OK. And you should stop drinking coffee! You drink it so much!

David: I know, but I like it.

Emma: Tea’s better; it’s healthier. And water, it’s very important to drink lots
of water. I drink about 2 litres a day.

David: Yes, they say tea is good for you. What do you do to relax?

Emma: I go to museums.

David: That’s boring. I watch TV.

Emma: Really? I don’t think that’s relaxing, and I don’t think it’s healthy.

David: I disagree. Of course it’s not healthy if you watch too much, but I think
you should watch a couple of hours a day. It helps you relax.

Emma: I prefer listening to music. I think that’s a good way to relax.

David: I think everyone likes music, but I think it’s great when you’re
studying. It helps you to think better.

Emma: I don’t agree with that. I think it’s really important for everyone to
study in quiet.

David: OK, Emma, you study in your way and I’ll study in mine. Everyone’s
different!
