Central Park People

On the 24th september 2012 I was walking in the wonderful Central Park, NY. My daughters were running, laughing and watching from a moderate distance a playful squirrel, I had told them previously they could be dangerous so they were cautious. The squirrel, tired of the girls climbed up a tree and looked at us triumphantly from above, my daughters exhausted, decided to sit on a bench opposite these people. I started to wonder what they were doing there... Can you write 200 words about what you think they were doing? Can you imagine their stories?

Why should students exercise?

 Not only is exercise good for your overall health and fitness, but it also boosts your mental wellbeing.

Exercise will help keep you calm during exams. You’ll feel more energised and refreshed, and that will help you perform better in your studies.
Also, regular physical activity will help to keep you at a healthy weight and lower your risk of major illnesses such as heart disease and some cancers.
Keeping active doesn’t require a lot of time and effort. Doing 150 minutes (two and a half hours) of moderate intensity physical activity, such as fast walking or cycling, every week will give you many health benefits.
If you’re not interested in sport, or school PE lessons have put you off exercise, now’s your chance to try a new activity, such as dance or martial arts. You could be pleasantly surprised and make new friends at the same time.

Exercise the easy way

You don’t need to make a special trip to a sports centre to reach your weekly quota of exercise. There are easy ways to get some exercise into your daily routine.

• Walk to your lectures instead of getting the bus.
• Take the stairs rather than the lift.
• If you have a bike, ride it to classes or go for a bike ride with friends.
• Rent or buy an exercise DVD. Share the cost (and the fun) with your housemates.
• If you’re going out in the evening, dance. It’s a great way to meet new friends as well as to keep in shape. (Watch the video on street dancing at the end of this article for more details.)
• Go for a jog with friends before going to college, or between classes.
• At lunchtime or weekends, kick a football around with your friends in the park, or have a game of volleyball.  .
