Part 2&3  A popular place for doing sports答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

A popular place for doing sports, is actually a modern gym near my office in Haidian. It’s a really cool gym and sports centre. In fact, it’s really a lot more than that because it also has modern, slick working areas you can even go to and have team meetings or work alone with laptops; it has a café and healthy snack bar, it has a spa and massage center, as well as all the usual things a gym has – exercise machines, sports areas and personal trainers. There’s also a swimming pool. It’s described as a “360 degree leisure and health center” and I can see why! The membership is pretty expensive if you want access to everything, but you can also just join selected things if you wish. I do a dance class there – modern hip hop dancing with a professional instructor, and my friend just subscribes to the gym and swimming pool. Another friend has a membership to the spa and massage center and goes there only once a month. So, as you can see there is some flexibility – and there’s a host of combined membership plans and “menus” you can choose from. The last time I went there I went for my dance class, but actually I also signed up for the swimming pool too – I bought a three month trial membership. You see, I am not totally sure yet if I have the time or dedication to go swimming as well as do the other activities I’m involved in, so the special discount trial offers are really handy – you can have a go for 3 months and if it suits you, you can sign up for the year. I feel great about this place, because usually I don’t like gyms and sports centres, but this place really feels great and is decorated really minimally and tastefully, and has friendly staff and a very professional approach to everything to do with leisure, health and exercise. 

Children should most certainly do sports regularly – at least once or twice a week in school. That's because they need a certain amount of physical exercise to keep them healthy, as well as a break from the mental dimensions of study and learning in class. Everyone does, to be honest – a balance of mental and physical activity is important for us all.  


Young people mostly enjoy sports and games yes. Nearly all young people anyway. Some are not very sporty, admittedly, but usually these people are perhaps more into individual sports and activities like cycling or long distance running, or maybe even rock climbing, and not into team sports. It's also down to personality. 

Absolutely yes, it's important to have sports centers in every district of a city so that everyone can go somewhere rain or shine, summer or winter, to get exercise or participate in sports and games. Also, cities need huge venues for hosting national and international competitions, to take part in global contests and also host events. So, yes, it's absolutely necessary.
