Studying at college of physical culture

We are students and we study at college of physical culture. The students of our college take up different kinds of sport. To improve their physical fitness and performance they do a lot of training. They train in different places: gymnasts in the gym, basketball, volleyball and handball players on the indoor and outdoor sports grounds or in sports halls, tennis players on the tennis courts, track and field athletes usually train on the stadiums in the open air, though in winter they sometimes have their training in the indoor halls, and boxers practice in the boxing halls, footballers on the stadiums, fencers in the fencing halls, cyclists in the highway or cycling tracks and swimmers, naturally, train in the swimming pools.

The aim of all sports trainings is to improve fitness and skills, and to develop training programmes that are both safe and effective. To do this properly, an understanding of the physical demands of sport is needed. All sports require a combination of strength, speed, endurance, agility and flexibility to varying degrees. What is important is how these elements are combined to build up the skills of the sport in question. Other factors to be taken into account in a training programme are diet, the importance of avoiding injuries, your general state of health, and the nature and role of other team players.

Three times a week we have special training lessons. As a rule, each training lasts about three hours after which we take a warm shower. Every training session begins with a warming-up period which lasts about twenty minutes. It consists of slow running for about half a mile, then fast running for about a quarter of a mile. Next the sportsmen do a few exercises which depend on the event to be practised. After the warming-up we rest for about six minutes before we start practising. The warming-up of the body is very important for it helps to prevent pulled muscles. We train according to the trainer’s instructions. The coach pays great attention to mastering technique, tactics and the main elements of this or that kind of sport. Sometimes, we train with a team or a partner. We perform different exercises and get ready for contests.

Прочитайте и переведите текст ”A NATIONAL PASSION” на русский язык.

A NATIONAL PASSION

Sport probably plays a more important part in people's lives in Britain than it does in most other countries. For a very large number, and this is especially true for men, it is their main form of entertainment. Millions take part in some kind of sport at least once a week. Many millions more are regular spectators and follow one or more sports. There are hours of televised sports each week. Every newspaper, national or local, quality or popular, devotes several pages entirely to sport.

The British are only rarely the best in the world at particular sports in modern times. However, they are one of the best in the world in a much larger number of different sports than any other country. Think of any pastime (indoor bowling, darts or snooker), however trivial, which involves some element of competition, and somewhere in Britain, there is probably a 'national association' for it which organizes contests.

The British are a sporting nation. Like everyone else they love football – in fact, they invented it. Most British towns and cities have a football team. Every year, each team plays in the Football Association competition. The two best teams play in the Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in London. Some fans pay up to 250 pounds for a ticket for the Cup Final. It is one of the biggest sporting events of the year.

Sport plays such a large part in British life, that many idioms in the English language have come from the world of sport, for example "to play the game" means to be fair, and "that's not cricket" means that's not fair.
