A HEALTHY LIFE IN WINTER

Remember- as long as you have your health, nothing else matters. What is the secret of keeping healthy? The most obvious health

safe-guarding steps are the following: regular check- ups, eat well (healthy diet), exercise every day, control daily stress, relax and

sleep enough.

A well- balanced diet helps you keep healthy but it must be combained with some regular physical activities such as walking, jogging,

cycling or swimming, in winter - skiing or skating.

 

Many families were making plans for their winter holidays as early as autumn. Most of them decided on going to the mountains.

The most popular winter resort, center of mountaineering and skiing in Poland is Zakopane- located in a large valley

between the Tatra Mountains and Gubałówka Hill.

 

The most important alpine skiing locations are Kasprowy Wierch, Nosal and Gubałówka Hill. Zakopane has the highest elevation (800-1,000 m)

 

of any town in Poland. The central point of the town is at the junction of Krupówki and Kościuszko Streets.

 

 

Zakopane- a town in southern Poland with 30,000 inhabitants is the centre of winter sports in Poland. In winter it attracts many tourists

who may go on an excursion by cablecar to Kasprovy Wierch and admire the beautiful  panorama of the Tatras;

lie in the sun on Mount Gubałówka or go for a long walk in the Tatra National Park. For those who like hikes the Tatras are a real

paradise. It can be an unforgetable experience.

 

For me winter holidays in Zakopane were excellent. I lived in a house situated on a hill by the wood. From there I had a beautiful

view of the surroundings. I could admire majestic mountains covered in white, powdery snow and evergreen spruce forests.

 

Although it was very cold, I went skiing every day. My friends were not afraid of frost either. They put on heavy jackets, woolen

caps, gloves and scarves and went for long walks. Some of them had a lot of fun building a snowman, sleighing or skating.

 

In the afternoon they often went to the cafe, drank tea or coffee, ate cakes and exchanged impressions. Sometimes they

went dancing with another people who also spent their winter holidays in Zakopane.

 

Next year I would also like to go to the mountains because I had a very good time there.

 

Have you ever spent winter holidays in the mountains?

Describe your winter holidays.

Encourage your friend to go to the mountains in winter.
