About sports and health

This worksheet focuses on health and fitness. Students and teachers will find the Reading, Speaking, Writing, and Vocabulary tasks quite useful and engaging.  The questions and tasks may be adapted to fit learners' needs.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY WHEN YOU WALK

Talking about sports- Subject verb agreement

My favorite sport

33 questions discussing the Olympics, sports and a bit of health. I normally use speaking exercises at the start of my classes to get every body speaking and linking in to the lesson theme/topics. With London 2012 coming up this would be a great way to get any classes from elementary-intermediate talking and thinking about the Olympics. Just cut them out, place them face down in the middle of the room and get students to pick them at random and then ask another student - go around the class and repeat.

Olympics and sports discussion.

A matching activity on sports and healthy living. Your students can repeat sports activities and can speak about healthy living, what sports they do to keep fit ... Hope it's useful.   ;)

Worksheet- Obsession with FITNESS and SELF-IMAGE

This worksheet is designed to prepare students for the Maturita exam topic “My Body and Healthy Lifestyle.” Students read six different monologues from people in Canada, the USA, the UK, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, and Australia. Each speaker introduces themselves, gives geographical hints about where their city is located, and describes their lifestyle, diet, and habits. Students are encouraged to use online maps to find the cities and improve their geographical awareness, and they should also describe the picture connected to the text. Each reading is followed by comprehension questions, and there is a special “Speak Like a Native” section with useful lexical chunks, phrasal verbs, and idioms to help learners sound more natural when talking about health, food, and exercise. Finally, an extra challenge section allows motivated students to compare all six characters, share opinions, and earn bonus marks by answering reflective questions such as who was the laziest, who was the healthiest, or whose lifestyle they would want to try. The worksheet is suitable for high school students at A2–B1 level and can be used for reading, vocabulary building, speaking practice, and exam preparation.
