Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Комарова, Ларионова 11 класс, Русское слово:
Learn about PE
А What sport do you most enjoy or do you feel that you are best at? Think about sports people who do this kind of sport. How does your body type, height and weight compare to them?
B Read the text below and decide which body type you might be.
Have you got the right stuff?
A Endomorph
If you are an endomorph, you are pear shaped with a round head. You have quite broad shoulders and hips and you carry quite a lot of fat on the body, upper arms and thighs. Endomorphs are suited to sports that require strength, but not agility and speed.
В Mesomorph
If you are a mesomorph, you have a wedge shaped body with broad shoulders, slim hips, a lot of muscle and not much fat. The mesomorph is well suited to sports that involve strength, agility and speed.
C Ectomorph
If you are an ectomorph, you are very tall and thin, with narrow shoulders and hips, long limbs and little muscle or fat. The ectomorph is better suited to endurance sports and gymnastics. They are unable to build up great strength.
C Now read the descriptions of sports competitors below. Which body type combinations would be best for these sports people?
The swimmer
The perfect swimmer is tall with long limbs. The swimmer should have broad shoulders and slim hips, and it helps to have big feet and hands. Some of the best swimmers in the world have enormous feet. It helps propel them forward.
The rower
The rower needs to be extremely tall, strong and heavy, but have very little fat. They also need to be able to pump oxygen around their bodies fast. They have the highest air intake of all sports - 300 litres a minute.
The sprinter
The perfect sprinter has slim hips, but has really good muscles in the legs. He/She needs to be able to get the muscles working fast. That means the muscles need to have fast twitch’ fibres - they work very effectively for a short burst of activity.
The marathon runner
A marathon runner needs to have a lot of stamina. ‘Slow twitch’ muscles are more suited to this because they can keep producing power for a long period. It helps if they have a small build and a light frame, and they’re not too tall.
The gymnast
The gymnast needs to be small, very strong and light. They need to have an even spread of muscles all over their body.
The weightlifter
Weightlifters are small and very strong with short arms and legs.
D Before you read the next part think about the following: what other factors make you very good at a sport? Then read on and answer the question.
Megan Still was proof that having a perfect body for a certain sport can make a big difference. She was chosen in 1987 to be trained as a rower. She had never rowed in her life, but within ten years she had won a gold medal. Having a body perfectly suited to a certain sport is fantastic. However, you need to have good training and technique, and there are other genetic factors that can work in your favour.
Genetic study has shown that some people use oxygen more efficiently than others. Some people have a genetic mutation which means that there are more red blood cells in their bodies. Because of this, more oxygen circulates round their bodies and it allows them to perform better at endurance sports.
If you do enjoy a sport, dontaskt slop it just because you feel you arentaskt physically suitable. There is no greater motivator than passion. Anyway, not everybody takes up a sport to become a professional athlete, and when you do start a certain sport, your shape changes to fit the sport if you train a lot. So dontaskt look in the mirror and give up. Try it! I here are always exceptions to the rule.
E Answer the questions.
1 Which body type has the least amount of fat?
2 What group do you think most top models fit into?
3 Whattasks the difference between ‘fast twitchtask muscle and ‘slow twitchtask muscle?
4 Why do rowers need to have a good set of lungs?
5 Why is Megan Still a good example of matching body type to sport?
6 How would having extra red blood cells benefit a long-distance runner?
7 Apart from body shape and genes, v/hat three things can help you to be good at a sport?
Unfired state exam
Steps to success
In Speaking Task 1 look at where commas and full stops appear. Remember that these arc the places to pause slightly when you read the text aloud.
F Choose a paragraph from the text and read it aloud.
Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and want to read it to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
