Rose (00:00):
Let's now talk about sport and exercise. Can you tell me why you think people nowadays often get less
exercise than previous generations?

Ari (00:11):
There is lots of reasons for this one. One of the main ones would probably be television and computers.
Much peoples when they come home from work just sit down and turn the television or computer on
and don't do nothing. Without televisions or computers, people will go out more and do things after
work, giving them exercise. Cars and other kinds of transport have also changed and much peoples
prefer not to walk as far as they used to.

Rose (00:48):
Do you think governments should subsidise the cost of sports equipment for children?

Ari (00:54):
That's an interesting question. No, I don't think that they should to pay for this one. It isn't really the
government responsibility to pay for sports equipment. It's not their fault. For myself, if people want to
exercise, there are many options for them which do not requiring many equipment. I think governments
have more important things to focus on. In my opinion, it's more important for governments to pay for
education and healthcare.

Rose (01:32):
Some professional sportspeople earn more than other professionals. Do you think this is justified?

Ari (01:40):
No, I don't think this is justified. I know that some sportsmen and sportswomen make a lot of money
when they play sport like tennis, soccer, but this is too much. I know they are talent, that they have
many followers, many fans, but this does not mean not mean that they're more smart than doctors for
example. The doctor saves lives. It is very important, while sportsmen only entertain. Which is more
important?

Ari (02:27):

people when they come home from work just sit down and turn the television or computer on and do
