1. What do you think is funny about these jokes
They trick the reader by cleverly playing with words that have more than one meaning.
2. What is your favourite sport Why do you like it
Basketball is my favourite sport. I like it because it has simple rules, and many of my classmates like it too. Also, I think basketball teaches me how to cooperate with my teammates, and I enjoy the feeling of team spirit it brings.
Discussion
What can sport bring us
Well, I think, sport can bring us happiness and make us relaxed. For example, when we are playing basketball, we may forget our problems. This helps us stay mentally healthy. And of course, sport can build up our bodies, if we work out on a regular basis.

1. What might prevent people from starting exercise
Most people have to study or work very hard so they might say that they are too tired or don't have enough time during the day. Some people do not know how to exercise properly, so they might feel embarrassed to try. Also, some believe that it is expensive to exercise because they think they have to join a club or hire a trainer.
2. What kind of information do you think this guide will give
I think it will talk about the benefits of exercise and how to start exercising. It may also offer some tips about how to make an exercise plan and what to wear during the exercise.

When to eat
Wearing proper clothes and equipment
Warming up before exercise and stretching after exercise

1. Why is regular exercise good for the heart and lungs
During exercise, your heart and lungs must work harder. This extra effort makes them grow stronger over the long term.
2. How does flexibility training help you
Flexibility training, including gymnastics and tai chi, helps stretch your muscles and improve your body's range of movement.
3. Why do you need to eat foods rich in protein
To help your muscles recover and repair themselves after exercise.
4. How long should you wait after exercise to have your meal
You should wait at least 30 minutes after a typical routine, or as much as an hour after a hard workout.

Discuss A3
1. What are the purposes of this guide What techniques does the guide use for these purposes Support your answer with examples from the guide.
The purposes of the guide are to encourage readers to exercise and to inform them of the proper way of exercising. The guide asks questions at the beginning and at the end to give encouragement. In lines 16–21, it gives examples to explain how different types of exercise improve our health. In lines 25–26, it compares the human body to a car that needs to be fuelled to help the reader understand the role of carbohydrates. These techniques are very effective in presenting information.
2. Do you agree with the guide that exercise can help you get over negative feelings Back up your opinion with examples from your experience.
Yes. Running has certainly helped me deal with my stress. When I am under stress, I go out for an hour-long run. After sweating all over, I find that my stress almost disappears and I feel great. It's like magic!
3. What other information do you think could be included in the guide
I'd like some tips on overcoming difficulties in exercise and keeping motivated.
