The
Olympic Champion Alexandr Medved Gives Advice
1.
A wrestler must have many qualities to beat his rivals. He must be
strong and very quick. Then he needs enough strength to tear the rival from the
mat and throw him on the floor.
2.
I will tell you about myself. I grew up tall and thin with no
great strength in my arms. Wrestling came into my life when I was 18. I was 188
cm tall and weighed 85 kg and could not compete with my rivals in strength.
3.
Then I decided to build up my muscles. I developed a system of
exercises, which helped me to become stronger. I spent much time weight
lifting. I lifted a bar equal to my own weight, which is up to 100 kg. However,
that happened after two years of regular exercising. At first, the weight was
only 30-40 kg. In general, I advise to choose the weight, which is twice as
small as your own.
4.
Push-ups were also of great help to me. At first, I could push up
only 3 or 4 times, so weak were my arms! Then 30 times. Interesting enough, if
you strengthen your legs, you feel as if your body has become much lighter. It
is a very useful exercise. I also worked with dumb-bells and weights and threw
heavy stones into air. You must combine muscle-building exercises with long
distance running. It is a good relaxation for the arms and back muscles.
5.
I was considered the strongest heavyweight wrestler in the world.
However, I have never been the biggest among my rivals. I weighed a little over
100 kg but defeated even those who weighed 120, 150 and 180 kg like the
American Chris Taylor whom I threw on the floor at the 1972 Olympics. If you
are strong, you do not fear any rivals! My advice to you is if you want to be
strong, take up physical exercises at once.

School
in the Slums.
- Slums – трущобы
Locks
– замки
- Guards — охранники
Permission —
разрешение
1. Mellish
school is in the slums of Brooklyn for pupils between 12 and 15 years of
age.There are about 1500 pupils there, and 90 teachers.
It’s a
problem school, perhaps one of the most difficult schools in America. The white
teachers can’t walk to the school because they may be attacked. They all drive
to school, and their cars have special locks. There’s always a black policeman at the door of
the school. He has a radio contact with the school guards. Pupils must
have a written permission from
the teacher if they want to go to the toilet. There’s a guard outside the washroom.
Only one child can go into the washroom at a time, and he can’t stay there
long.
2. The
children who live in that district go to that school. They are all black
children. However, why do the teachers work there?
“It’s
very hard of course,” says Jane Flinch, a forty- five-year-old teacher. Most
children have problems at home. Some of them are beaten by their parents. Some
of them sleep at the lessons because they had to work at night. Some of the
children get sick at the lessons because they didn’t have breakfast or even a
meal for a day or two.
3. It’s
the love of the job that keeps the teachers in that school. They teach and do
social work. They feel that they are doing something good for the children who
need help.
4. “There’s
also the problem of violence,” says one of the teachers. “Sometimes when I go
into a class, I can feel that some of the children are like a dynamite.
However, I feel quite safe. I am sure that other pupils will help me.” There is
very little money for teaching in that school. There is no money to buy food
for the children.
5. The
principal of the school has been there for many years. A lot of his happy
optimism has gone. “No, I’m not optimistic about the future. Look around
you,”It’s not a very bright sight: buildings have holes instead of the windows,
shops are closed, groups of people are sitting on the steps of the houses. They
have nowhere to go and nothing to do.We need money,” he says, “money is the
only way to help this school and these people, and, of course, jobs for the
people.”
