Interviewer Dr Watson! Just how important is sport for teenagers?

Dr Watson 1_________________ It's no good just spending two or three hours a day playing video games. You can't be fit and healthy if you hardly ever do exercise. Three or four hours a week is OK. Different sports exercise different parts of the body. For example, swimming is excellent for your arms and shoulders. 2_________________ Then, there are team sports, where you need to use special skills to play well. Team sports can also help you work more easily with other people – and this is important when you want a job.

Interviewer 3_________________

Dr Watson These are not a very good idea, because they can be quite dangerous. You need special protection like a helmet for your head, pads for your knees and elbows. It's always a good idea to work with a trainer, who can help when you have problems.

Interviewer 4_________________

Dr Watson Things like board games or bowling can also be very good for you. They don't give you much physical exercise, of course, but they are important mental exercise. And they are often good fun too. 5_________________ Oh, and finally, I would also recommend listening to or playing music. It's important to work with both mind and body, and music can do that very well!

The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter – I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter ad eat the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year, for example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons.

We also made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of things about modern life. In fact, in my opinion they miss a lot more than people in the country, they miss real life.
