LESSON
FOUR

MY
FRIEND IS A CHILDREN’S DOCTOR NOW

My
friend’s name is Peter. He and I are doctors now, but
eleven years ago
we were students at a Medical
college in Moscow.

We
lived a long way from the college, but we liked to walk there in
fine weather.

Our
classes usually lasted
till four o’clock
in the afternoon, and
then we worked
hard at home. We sometimes stayed after classes to
play volley-ball,
but on weekdays
we were usually at home by 9 o’clock. We received a lot of medical
journals and often discussed
interesting
articles in them.

In
his third year Peter decided to be a children’s doctor, and now he
works at a children’s
hospital in Kiev.
He loves
his work and often writes to me about it.

«Whose
name’s Peter?» «My friend’s.»

«What
does he do?» «He’s a doctor.»

«Was
he a doctor eleven years ago? » «No, he was a student
then.»

«When
did he decide to be a children’s doctor?» «It his third
year at the Medical college.»

«Does
he like his work?» «Yes, he loves it. «

Sport and a Healthy Mode of Life

            Sport is very important in our life. It is popular
among young and old people.

Many people do morning exercises, jog
in the morning, train themselves in clubs, in different sections and
take part in sport competitions.

Other people like sports too, but they
only watch sports games, listen to sports news. They prefer reading interesting
stories about sportsmen. But they don’t go in for sports.

Physical training is one of the
important subject at our college. Students have got physical training lessons
twice a week. Boys and girls play volley-ball and basket-ball at the lessons.
There is no sports ground near our college. In autumn and in spring the
students go in for sports in the open air.

A lot of different competitions are held
at college, a great number of students take part in them. All participants
try to get good results and become winners. Sport helps people to keep in good
health. If you go in for sports, you have good health and don’t catch cold.

Children and grown-ups must take care
of their health and do morning exercises regularly.

There are some popular kinds of sports
in our country: football, volley-ball, hockey, gymnastics, skiing, skating.
Athletics is one of the most popular kinds of sports. It includes such
kinds of sports as running, jumping and others. Everybody may choose the sport
he (or she) is interested in.

There are summer and winter sports.

My favourite sport is swimming. I go to
the swimming-pool twice a week. But I prefer to rest by the lake or the
river and swim there.

My friend Kostya goes in for boxing. He
is a good boxer and he is a brave and courageous boy. His hobby helps
him in his everyday life.

A Visit to a Doctor

     On Monday Vlad felt unwell. He had a
sore throat
, a running nose and a bad cough. He went to
college, but after the first period his teacher told him to go and see the
doctor, because he had the symptoms of the flu, and it was a very catching
disease
. So Vlad left the college and went to a polyclinic. There were
several people in the queue in front of the cabinet, but in less
than half an hour Vlad’s turn came and he entered.

Vlad: Good morning. May I come in?

Doctor: Yes, please. What is the matter with you?

Vlad: I think I have got a slight cold,
doctor. I have a sore throat and a running nose.

Doctor: Do you cough?

Vlad: Yes, I do occasionally.

Doctor: Have you taken your temperature?

Vlad: As a matter of fact, I haven’t, doctor.

Doctor: Then take a seat. Here is a thermometer.
Well, young man, your temperature is rather high — it is 38.4°. Let me examine
your throat. Now strip to the waist, please. I must sound your chest.
All right, you may dress yourself.

Vlad: Well, doctor, is there anything serious
the matter with me?

Doctor: Don’t worry; there is nothing really
serious. You have got flu. It is spring now, and many people suffer from flu.
But you shouldn’t treat your disease lightly. It often leads to complica­tions,
if a patient doesn’t follow the doctor’s advice.

Vlad: What am I to do, doctor?

Doctor: Here is the recipe, take these pills three
times a day. Gargle your throat with this mixture every two hours. Don’t
go to the chemist’s yourself. Ask your relatives to go and fetch the med­icine
for you. Drink hot tea or milk. And stay in bed for at least three days.
Do you need a sick leave?

Vlad: Yes, I do.

Doctor: Then I’ll give you a leave for three days,
and then you will come to see me again.

Vlad: Thank you very much, doctor. Goodbye. Having left the
polyclinic, Vlad went straight home. He asked Alexei to go to the chemist’s for
the medicine and went to bed. He followed the doctor’s advice and did
everything he had prescribed. His friends called him and asked how he felt.
They wanted to come and see him, but Vlad’s mother didn’t allow them to. So
they sent him some books to read. By the end of the third day Vlad
stopped sneezing and coughing and his temperature was normal again. He was glad
that he recovered.

Olympic Games

      The Olympic Games have a
very long history. They began in 777
ВС in Greece and took place every four years for
nearly twelve centuries at Olimpia. They included many different kinds of
sports: running, boxing, wrestling, etc. All the cities in Greece
sent their best athletes to Olimpia to compete in the Games. For the
period
of the Games all the wars stopped. So the Olympic Games became the
symbol of peace and friendship
.

In 394 AD the Games were
abolished
and were not renewed until many centuries later. In 1894,
a Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, addressed all the sports governing
bodies and pointed out the significance of sports and its educational
value
.

Two years later the first
modern Olympic Games took place. Of course, the competi­tions were held in Greece
to symbolize the continuation of the centuries-old tradition.

In 1896 the International
Olympic Committee was set up. It is the central policy­making body of the
Olympic movement. It is formed by the representatives of all coun­tries which
take part in the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee decides
upon the programme of the games, the number of the participants and the
city-host for the Games. Over one hundred and fifty countries are represented
in the International Olympic Committee now. Besides, each country has its National
Olympic Committee.

Summer and Winter Games are
held separately
. There are always several cities wishing to host the
Games. The most suitable is selected by the International Committee. After that
the city of the Games starts preparations for the competitions, constructs new
sports facilities, stadiums, hotels, press centres. Thousands of athletes,
journalists and guests come to the Games, and it takes great efforts to
arrange everything
. There is always an in­teresting cultural programme of
concerts, exhibitions, festivals,
etc., for each
Games.

Russia joined the Olympic movement
in 1952. Since then it has won a lot of gold, sil­ver, and bronze medals. In
1980 Moscow hosted the Twenty-Second Olympic Games.

The latest Olympic Games were
held in Barcelona. Russian sportsmen got medals for their records in
many sports events.

Sports in Great Britain

   
The British are known to be great sports-lovers, so when they are
neither playing, nor watching games, they like to talk about them. Many of the
games we play now have come from Britain.

    
One of the most British games is cricket. It is often played in schools, colleges,
universities and by club teams all over the country. Summer isn’t summer without
cricket. To many Englishmen cricket is both a game and a standard of behavior.
When they consider anything unfair, they sometimes say «That isn’t
cricket».

   
But as almost everywhere else in the world, the game which attracts the
greatest attention
is Association football, or soccer. Every Saturday from
late August till the beginning of May, large crowds of people support their
favourite sides in football grounds. True fans will travel from one end
of the country to the other to see their team play. There are plenty of professional
and amateur
soccer clubs all over Britain. International football matches
and the Cup Finals take place at Wembley.

   
Rugby football is also very popular, but it is played mainly by amateurs.

Next
to football, the chief spectator sport in British life is horse-racing.
A lot of people are interested in the races and risk money on the horse
which they think will win
. The Derby is perhaps the most famous single
sporting event in the whole world.

    
Britain is also famous for motor-car racing, dog-racing, boat-racing, and even
races for donkeys. The famous boat-race between the teams of Oxford and Cambridge
attracts large crowds of people.

   
A great number of people play and watch tennis. Tennis tournaments at Wimbledon are known all over the world. The innumerable tennis courts of Britain
are occupied by people between the ages of 16 and 60 who show every degree of
skill — from practically helpless to the extremely able.

  
The British also like to play golf, baseball, hockey, grass-hockey. Various
forms of athletics, such as running, jumping, swimming, boxing are also
popular. You can sometimes hear that there are no winter sports in England.
Of course the English weather is not always cold enough to ski, skate, or
toboggan, but winter is a good season for hunting and fishing.

 Indeed
sport in one form or another is an essential part of daily life in Britain.
