Trampolines aren’t just for children. Today, many adults also use trampolines for

concentration, balance, and coordination. It also burns a lot of calories — more than
running! Jumping on a trampoline is also good for your heart and it’s fun. Here is an
easy exercise:
1. Stand on the trampoline.

2. Get ready to jump - bend your arms and legs.
3. Jump up and down.
4. Repeat 30 times.
Many exercise gyms now have trampolines. Some gyms even have trampoline classes.
They teach you different exercises for the trampoline. The classes are very popular.
Trampolines come in a lot of different shapes and sizes. There are also indoor and
outdoor trampolines. You can buy a trampoline from a Web site or any good sports
store.

the author of the book, “Stay Fit at Work”. Welcome to the show, Ray.
Ray: Thanks, Charles! I’m happy to be here.
Charles: Ray, tell us how we can stay healthy when we work in an office.
Ray: There are many ways you can stay healthy at the office. The first thing you
can do is to stand up when you work. It’s very unhealthy to sit all day at a desk.
Charles: I don’t think I can stand all day.

Basic 1 Appendix
Ray: You don’t need to stand all day. Get up at least every hour and walk around.
You can set an alarm clock to remind you to get up.
Charles: Good idea. What other tips do you have for us?
Ray: Walk as much as you can while you’re at work. Don’t take the elevator. Take
the stairs! Go for a walk during your lunch break. If you want to talk to people
in the next office, don’t send them an e-mail or call them. Walk over to them.
Charles: Well, my office building doesn’t have an elevator. So, I always take the stairs at
work! Are there any exercises we can do when we’re sitting at our desks?
Ray: Sure. Move your feet in circles. Lift your legs up and down. Stretch your arms.
Charles: That’s not hard to do at all.
Ray: Yes, they’re very easy exercises.

Summer Jobs
Summer Jobs
Many students have summer jobs. Summer jobs are a good way to make money. You
can have interesting experiences. A summer job can also be a lot of fun. We inter-
viewed three students about their summer jobs.
Nancy drives an ice cream truck. The truck is small. It has a freezer inside. Inside the
freezer is ice cream. Nancy drives around the neighborhood and sells the ice cream.
She works from 10:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Wednesday through Sunday. “I love selling ice
cream,” says Nancy. “I put smiles on people’s faces!”
Jack is a gardener. He works for the town council. He works in the park and mows the
grass. He also plants flowers and trees. He works from 6:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., Monday
through Friday. “It’s hard work,” says Jack. “But I like my job. I love working outside.”
Tara is a dog walker. She takes dogs for walks when their owners are at work or on
vacation. Tara walks three to four dogs at once. She walks a group of dogs for an
hour. Then, she takes a different group. Tara works from 11:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Monday

Tara. “I love dogs, and I get lots of exercise!”
The Right Job for You

Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture on finding the right job.
Lecturer: Today’s talk is about finding the right job for you. First, you need to
decide what type of person you are, and what your interests are. For
many jobs, you need the proper training or education. But there are also
many jobs that offer on-the-job training. Ask yourself: What do I like?
Do I need training? Let’s think about some possible occupations: Do
you enjoy being outside most of the year? Do you like plants and
flowers? Then maybe you want to be a gardener. Are you in good shape?
Do you like helping people? Do you like working out? Perhaps you want
to be a fitness trainer in a gym. Do you like working with children and
young people? Are you good at explaining things? Then a job in
teaching can be good for you. You can be a science teacher or maybe
teach languages. Are you friendly and confident? Are you good at math?
Then you can be a good salesclerk in a store. Remember: Try to match
your experience, and what you like to do with the occupation that’s right
for you. And don’t be afraid to try new things!
