Watching and playing sports is still one of the most popular leisure activities. Sport makes people healthy, keeps them fit, more organized and better disciplined. Some people go in for sports for their health and some for professional aims. But with the arrival of professional competitions many people think some sports like tennis and football have changed and become more predictable.

Sports and games are very popular among the people among the people of all ages. Watching sport events gives us a lot of moments of pleasure. Crowds of people gather to cheer their favourite sportsmen and teams. They follow the exciting matches, admire good results and support their favourites.

Those who want to be health and to keep fit go in for sports for pleasure. The aim of others is to achieve good results, to become famous and even rich. If you train regularly you become better disci­plined and more organized. But professional sport often destroys your health. A great problem of modern professional sport is stimulants. It turns to be a real tragedy for those who have won the competitions and then have to part with their medals, fame and reputation; they also destroy their health. Sportsmen also influence the results of their sportsmen. This tendency can't be approved by real sport lovers.

Modern living conditions affect our health; we don't drink clean water, eat proper food and breathe fresh air. People suffer from different diseases and can't enjoy their life, work and study. It's really neces­sary to think about health as it is above the wealth. People of all ages should walk regularly, do exercises, play sport games, swim and enjoy their life.

• We'll surely follow your advice. And I think at the end of the party we'll offer some Russian na­tional food to our guests.

• This will make them fun.

• But you have forgotten about your exams!

• You're absolutely right. Let's transfer it to the beginning of May.

• I think it will be better. And don't forget about invitations cards.

• I'll follow you advice. Invitation cards are very important. When we make them we'll show one of the samples to you.
