Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Street workout is an outdoor exercise method that uses body weight for resistance. This form of training
is gaining popularity due to its flexibility and accessibility. Unlike gym workouts, which require specialized
equipment, it can be done in parks, at home, or even in the office. This eliminates the need for gym
memberships, making it a cost-effective option. Additionally, street workouts provide a full-body exercise
experience, enhancing physical strength, flexibility, and endurance. Many people also enjoy this activity
because it helps reduce stress and creates opportunities to connect with others who share similar fitness goals.
One of the significant benefits of street workout is its ability to promote balanced muscle development.
Most exercises, such as pull-ups, push-ups, and squats, engage multiple muscle groups at once. This results in
better overall coordination and a well-proportioned physique. In contrast, gym training often isolates specific
muscles, which may lead to imbalances if certain areas are neglected. However, street workout comes with
challenges. For beginners or individuals with limited strength, supporting their full body weight can be difficult,
which increases the risk of injury. Gradually building up strength with basic exercises is essential for long-
term success.
To start with street workouts, beginners should follow a structured training plan. A sample schedule
could include push-ups and sit-ups for chest and abs on Monday, squats for leg strength on Tuesday, and pull-
ups for back and shoulders on Thursday. Rest days are also crucial, as they allow muscles to recover and grow
stronger. Proper preparation, such as warming up and stretching before each session, further reduces the

likelihood of injury. Incorporating rest periods between sets helps maintain energy levels and improves
performance over time.
In conclusion, street workout is a practical and effective way to improve physical fitness and mental well-
being. Its cost-effectiveness and adaptability make it an appealing option for individuals of all fitness levels.
By understanding the benefits and challenges, anyone can integrate street workout into their routine and enjoy
its positive impact on their health and lifestyle. (Adapted from https://www.gornation.com)

Question 1 :
Read the following passage. Decide whether the statements True or False.
In the UK, bus journeys are just boring and simply a necessity. This public means of transportation is often
convenient when you live or work in the city center, as you can avoid traffic jams by moving very quickly in
the bus lanes, and do not have to pay to park the car. After all, though, taking the bus is just a necessary and
tedious part of life: you board the bus, pay the driver and sit down or find a place to stand. Very boring.
In Latin America, however, bus trips can be very lively. For a start, long-distance buses put on films so that
you have entertainment for at least some of the journey. Naturally, local transport does not show films but
drivers usually switch on the radio and that can be a great way to hear new songs and new styles of music.
Therefore, taking the bus doesn’t sound like fun but it is much more exciting than any UK bus journey.
