END OF ACT I
U.S. LIFE
Aerobic exercises are very popular in the United States. Today,
millions of Americans are exercising for good health. One out of
every ten Americans exercises every day to stay
in shape
(in good
physical condition). This
fitness craze
(interest in exercising and
eating healthy foods)
is popular all across the country.
Each year in many cities,
including Boston, New
York, San Fransisco, and
Honolulu, there are long-
distance races, or mara-
thons. Even ordinary peo-
ple run in these events.
Every day in the United
States, thousands of men,
women, and children run
through parks or city streets for good health.
More than ever before, a good diet and exercise program are important
in the United States. Today, fitness is part of the American way of life.
