Hi Tom,

How are you doing? It's been a while since we last talked. I've got something interesting for you, just check it out.

Do you remember the Soccer World Cup we were talking about last year? I've just found out that it is going to be in Russia, in Moscow, to be exact. I've seen it in this morning news paper and run to tell you right away.

This is such a huge event and a great honor for all Russians. People all around are so excited about it, I can hear them talking about it everywhere. Many expect guests from other cities and even countries, some people has cancelled their vacations and are going to go to Moscow in stead.

But the greatest part of this story is that I've already volunteered to prepare the stadiums for meeting international guests! So, I will have the opportunity to participate in this occasion and hopefully meet many interesting people as well.

Wish you were here,

Alex.

It is widely recognized that a healthy lifestyle means that a person receives a proper nutrition, has a lot of physical activities and little stress in life. In Russia there is a quite similar concept because diet and sport help stay fit, whereas peaceful environment is good for nerves.

First of all, it is wise to consider carefully what a person eats every day due to fragile systems of human organism that can be easily damaged. This is why Russian dietitians and nutritionists created a lot of special menus for citizens so they can combine recomended vegetables, meat ad other products and eat sufficient amount of calories and nutrients. Moreover, the sport is of the same importance as diet and in most cases they complement one another. For example, there are several menus called Dietary Tables, which are designed for people with certain dietary needs and often go with a special physiotherapy.

Another factor that prolongs human life is absence of stress, since the reaction of our bodies to stress was well documented and proved undoubtedly harmful. Therefore, many people are concerned with their mental environment at work or home and try to reduce or to get rid off unhealthy preassure in their lives. Take for instance very popular in Russia courses teaching how to overcome the stress or yoga classes.

In conclusion, the human health is based on proper diet, adequate sport activity and positive atmosphere of a person because it helps to keep a good physical shape and be calm and, therefore, live longer, which is a definition of a healthy person in my country.
