So, students, tastes differ. You are keen on football; your friend is fond of boxing.
Today we want to spend an action in defense of all kinds of sport and to prove,
that sport is not only for slim and active.
The symbol of our arrangement is a red ball. We prepared such balloons with the
words of wisdom about sport and health on them.
-“Wealth is nothing without health”.
-“The first wealth is your health and it’s only in your hand”.
-“Exercise with pleasure, eat with measure”.
-“Open your life to any kind of sport”.
-“Never put off sport till tomorrow if you can do it today”.
- “Lost health is never found again, do exercises every day”
-“Better late then never choose sport forever”.
-“A good sport beginning makes a good health ending”.
-“Morning exercise a day keeps a doctor away”.
On one of our balloon we have such words as: “Exercise with pleasure, eat with
measure”. Is it necessary for all sportsmen to be slim and to follow a diet?
Now students let`s put on our invisible helmets and imagine ourselves in a
gymnasium.
What can you see students? Let`s describe the wrestlers which you can see. Look
at the screen.
-Oh, I see a sumo wrestler. He is in a loincloth. He is very fat and awkward.
7
-But is he a ridiculous one? Can you see the reaction of the audience?
- There are many people there and they don`t laugh. They support their favorite
sportsman.
- You know that all people are crazy about him. Can you imagine David Beckham
in a loincloth? But what would be their reaction?
-They will laugh at him.
-More over he will be a bad wrestler because of the lack of his weight. Do you
agree?
- Yes we do.
-Let`s try to enumerate some kinds of sport, in which sheer size and mass are
greater attributes than stamina and speed.
-They are wrestling, boxing, drafts…
- Today we have a guest. His name is (applause, please)…the American boxer
Eric Esch! We are so glad to see you at our party. Now some words concerning our
problem “Fat versus fit”.
Many people know me as “Butterbean”. I topped the scales at a colossal 25 stones.
Prior to my visit to the U.K., many in Britain thought I was debasing the art of
boxing and merely turning the sport into a farce. One British newspaper labeled me
The Raging Blancmange.
-Despite such criticism he drew a considerable cult following in the US, at one
point claiming 67 victories from his 70 contests, with 49 stoppages, one defeat and
two draws.
-Now we have an opportunity to see another “hero of sport” “Big Daddy”.
Hello, I am 300 pounds plus. It wasn`t a disaster! I splatted, squashed and bounced
my opponents around the room to an adoring, hysterical crowd. They chanted
“easy easy”.
-You know that he was very popular and was on chat shows and in advertisements.
Thank you our guests.
-You see that it is not important to be slim and quick for being a good sportsman.
Now I want to know how attentive and cute you are, because such features are also
very important for a good sportsman.

You should put all words in a right order.
1. Britain in the in seventies afternoon wrestling Saturday darts and popular
became. 2. Darts closely is connected pubs with and alcohol.
However, the fact, in which alcohol add to the tension of the contest is not good.
Real sport should be healthy.
Now I want you to divide into two groups to discuss advantages and disadvantages
of being famous sportsmen. Now it`s not important for us if they fat or slim are.
You have language support on your desks.
Language support
As I see it…In my opinion,…As far I’m concerned…I would say that…I feel
strongly that…I feel the same way as you. I agree with you about that. That’s
absolutely right. I see what you mean, but…You’ve got a point, but what about the
fact that…? But don’t you think that…? What do you? /What are your views?
Professional sport
Advantages:
It educates a strong will, discipline, ability to overcome difficulties. It gives a
chance to acquire a lot of friends.
It helps to increase self-esteem and self-confidence. It is a possibility to become
famous. They are recognized wherever they go. People want your autograph. It is
always fun and excitement. They meet a lot of famous people. It gives a chance to
see the whole world. It helps athletes earn a lot of money. They can buy whatever
they want. It develops the feeling of patriotism.
Disadvantages:
It is associated with hard work. It is associated with injures and tiredness. It is
often unfair. It often makes athletes selfish and too ambitious. Athletes are forced
to keep to a diet. Athletes have no possibility to make a decision of their own.
They have no privacy. Athletes are forced to sacrifice a lot of things. Often athletes
don’t have a profession and are forced to retire young. They have problems finding
real friends who are interested in them not in their glamorous lifestyle. Journalists
and photographers follow them around.
You know that every person should know the English language, because it` s an
international one but famous sportsmen should travel a lot.

Заключительный этап: ОК, you’ve proved your knowledge of English. So, one
more task for you. Our action Fat versus Fit is coming to an end and there are no
winners. Besides, we can easily turn FAT into FIT. Let’s divide into 2 groups and
do transformations in 3 steps.
Fat – mat – bat – bit – fit
Fit – bit – bat – mat - fat
Mat is a piece of material used for a floor covering.
Bat is a shaped wooden implement for striking the ball in games.
Bit is a small piece of anything.
T: That’s all for today. Thank you for your good work. See you next lesson.
