参考范文：Describe a favorite sport which you watched

1. What do old people in your country do to keep fit? 在你的国家，老人如何健身?

Oh, plenty of stuff, actually. They try to stay active as long as possible. The elderly does morning exercises on a regular basis, choose the stairs over the elevator, walk a lot. do garden work and play with their grandchildren. All these actions make them move a lot and train their muscles in everyday routine. Some old people think it’s not enough and add doing functional fitness exercises to improve different types of movements necessary for daily life. They train bend-and-lift movements to be able to squat down to lift a shopping bag of groceries from the floor, single-leg movement for climbing and descending stairs, pushing movements for lifting the torso from a side-living position, pulling movements for being able to pull the car door and rotational movements to be able to reach across the body. The most active old people jog, swim and cycle as well.

2. How are the Olympic players trained in your country? Do they usually start training when they are born?

Well, I don’t think that training for the games starts when the Olympic players are born, but what I am sure of, it starts many years before the event and demands a lot of efforts. I think that players in my country are trained more or less the same way as in the rest of the world, and it seems to me they devote huge amounts of time to physical training. They also work extensive sports psychologists to mentally for the event, eat properly and sleep tor 8-10 hours a day.

3. Why does somebody dislike to watch the Olympic Games? 为什么有人不喜欢看奥运会?

Well, I think on a large scale because of the commercialization of the Games and the fact that the Olympics are no longer a sporting contest but a contest of sponsors. Or, maybe, because people don’t have that much time to watch al the sports and games, especially if there are only a few sports at the Olympics they care about. Oh, well, there can be one more reason for this, I think, the fact that their country doesn’t participate in the contest, which makes watching it senseless.

4. Why do young people do less sports than their parents? Well, I guess, first of all, because young people unlike their parents are not aware of health benefits and psychological bonuses sport can bring them. It can also be so because the young are very busy_ these days. which leads to the fact that exercise can sometimes be the last thing on their To Do list with a schedule filled with different classes and after-school activities. I guess, these are the main reasons.
