CAN KIDS WITH ASTHMA PLAY SPORTS?
1. Let`s translate an interesting reading about health:
You probably know that asthma can cause breathing problems. So can kids with asthma play
sports? You bet they can! Being active and playing sports is an especially good idea if you have
asthma. Why? Because it can help your lungs get stronger, so they work better.
Some athletes with asthma have done more than develop stronger lungs. They’ve played
professional football and basketball, and they’ve even won medals at the Olympic Games! In some
sports, you need to keep going for a long time. These activities may be harder for people with asthma.
They include cycling, long-distance running, soccer, basketball. But that doesn’t mean you can’t play
these sports if you really like them. In fact, many athletes with asthma have found that with the right
training and medicine, they can do any sport they choose.
But before playing sports, it’s important that your asthma
is under control. That means you aren’t having lots of
symptoms or flare-ups. To make this happen, it’s very
important that you take all asthma medicine just like your
doctor tells you to, even when you are feeling OK.
Make sure your coach and teammates know about
your asthma. That way, they will understand if you need
to stop working out because of breathing trouble.
It’s also helpful if your coach knows which steps
to take if you have a flare-up. Listen to your body
and follow the instructions your doctor gave you
for handling breathing problems. And if you keep
your asthma in good control, you’ll be in the
game and not on the sidelines!

3. Translate the following sentences about health problems:
2.1. What is the matter with him?
There were two kinds of agriculture: exporting agriculture and consumption agriculture. The first
one was devoted to products to be carried to international markets such as coffee, cocoa and cattle.
Large plantations used rural labor. Countrymen received low salaries, sometimes they didn`t receive
any money. The fundamental source of income for the Venezuelan treasury.
Consumption agriculture tried to obtain the food necessary for the people living in our country. Its
organization was very different from that of the exportation agriculture. The land was divided into small
pieces called “conucos” where the farmer grew different kinds of plants for his own consumption. The
fruits could not be sent to markets because there were no roads. A great part of the Venezuelan people
lived isolated from the rest of the world…

At present, our economy has an unbalanced aspect. We have a modern and highly developed
petroleum industry where the work of a man produces thousand bolivars. But on the other hand, we
have the traditional activities of our country, agriculture and cattle raising, where a man can
hardly produce what he needs to live. People in the cities work in unproductive activities
and we have become a country which depends on the extraction of only one product:
petroleum”.
