''Your Body''

a) Which of the suggestions mentioned here are you actually following, or thinking of following soon?
Get into an exercise routine: get yourself off to the gym and ask the burly guy with the flat-top haircut to work out a plan for you. There’s a good reason to start now: it takes time and effort for your body to build muscle, but less to maintain it. So build now, maintain later;

b) With your teacher, talk about the meaning of these phrases from the article:

Your puppy fat has gone and you have your own place
•Give your liver a breather
it means to give a rest to your liver drinking no alcoholic drinks
•Quaff beer with your mates

•Stock up on plump, fresh fruit

•Do regular hamstring stretches

•Many blokes regard their 20s as their cowboys-don’t-cry decade

How on earth did Ryan Giggs win the PFA Player of the Year award?


Manchester United's Ryan Giggs has made just 12 Premier League starts this season and yet he still manages to win the PFA Player of the Year award.Like most fans of English football, I am a big admirer of the Welshman's. To still be playing for one of the biggest club's in the world at the age of 35 is simply outstanding, however I am sure many of you will agree with me when I say, he hasn't been the best player in the Premier League this season.OK, I know I am being slightly harsh about the whole thing, however to give a player who has made just a dozen starts this season the award is a bit ridiculous. There is no doubt that Giggs has been one of the top performers of all-time in the Premier League, but has he been this season's best player. Certainly not.The only two players who I felt would have been worthy winners of the award were Giggs' United team-mate Nemanja Vidic and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.I can't argue that Giggs has, at times, performed unbelievably well this season. His display away to West Ham back in February was incredible. That particular performance reminded me of the Giggs of old. Delivering sublime crosses and terrorising full-back's with his age-defying bursts of pace.But why Vidic or Gerrard didn't win the award, I really don't know. Both players have performed magnificently well all season long and I personally felt thought it was a two-horse race between the two of them.Maybe, the players and managers who voted just thought it would be a nice gesture to Giggs, considering he hasn't won the award before and the fact that he will be retiring in just over a year's time.What do you think? Did Giggs really deserve the award? If not, who did? Comments below please.
