ice-skating. If they get up to a suitable high standard, they may go in for local competitions or
even champion. But special training is hard work and most young people don’t keep it up. Many
of them drop out when they come up against tough competition.
To become a professional in sport, you have to go through with a strictness training
schedule. And it is not easy. It means doing without some of life’s pleasures, too. For example,
to build up your physical strength you may have to stick to a special diet and give up some of
your favourite foods . Smoking and alcohol are out , and to keep fit you have to work out
regular every day .
Sometimes it all pays off, but the road to success is long and there are no guarantees. No

III. Read and answer the questions below. (5 points)
The world’s oceans are so vast that they can cope with the present levels of pollution.
However, little is known about the long-term effects of such slow poisoning. The most serious
problem of modern time is that man is destroying the earth’s natural resources and transforming
huge areas into waste land. As a result, it is becoming extremely difficult to grow enough to
feed the world’s rapidly increasing population. A way of protecting all wild life on the earth
must also be found as many species are in danger of disappearing completely from the face of
the earth. The smoke in the atmosphere, for example, is increasing so much that the amount of
sunlight has been reduced in many cities. Man’s whole environment is being changed in a
serious way.
