  T: Please, open your copybooks and write down today’s date. I would like you to write an old Latin saying by letters: A sound mind in a sound body. (One student is writing on the board.)

  T: Let’s translate it: У здоровому тілі – здоровий дух.

       How do you understand this proverb?

Possible answers:

S1: I can say we have to do morning exercises to be strong and healthy.

S2: I agree with this proverb. I think, everyone must do all he can to be healthy.

S3: To my mind, physically inactive people get old earlier than those who have plenty of exercises.

T: You are right. I can add that being in good health means having both body and mind in good working order, free from disease and pain. So, what is the topic of our lesson? Try to guess it.
