The lesson
Hello, heroes! أهلًا بيكم في الوحدة التانية: My Healthy Body — جسمي الصحّي. وأول درس: Sports for Better Health. الكلمات الجديدة: fit — لايق، صحّي وقوي عشان بتتمرّن. muscles — عضلات، أجزاء الجسم اللي بتساعدك تتحرّك. lungs — رئتين، الأعضاء اللي في الصدر واللي بتخلّيك تتنفّس. mental health — الصحّة النفسية، إحساسك وتفكيرك. stressed — متوتّر، حاسس بضيق أو تعب. ودلوقتي نسمع حوار Mazen ومامته اسمه «Fit, Fast, and Feeling Good»: Mazen: Mom, why is it important to play sports? Mom: Well, sports help us stay healthy and make our bodies stronger — الرياضة بتخلّي جسمنا أقوى. Mazen: So if I play football, will I be stronger? Mom: Yes! It makes your heart strong and helps your muscles grow. It also increases energy — الكورة بتقوّي القلب وبتساعد العضلات تكبر وبتزوّد الطاقة. Mazen: What about swimming? Mom: Swimming makes your lungs strong. In fact, it helps your whole body — العوم بيقوّي الرئتين. Mazen: Sometimes I get tired when I play sports. Mom: That's normal. Try eating some fruit before you exercise to give you more energy — كُل فاكهة قبل التمرين. Mazen: Sports make us fit too, right? Mom: Exactly! Exercise helps you lose weight and makes your bones stronger. Mazen: And what about our mental health? Mom: Absolutely! Exercising regularly helps you sleep better and reduces stress — التمرين المنتظم بيحسّن النوم وبيقلّل التوتّر. And now, let's practise!
A message from Captain Nour for you
Omar, ready? Today's lesson is all about sports and football! We'll learn in English how playing makes your muscles and lungs strong, just like the stars on the pitch. Let's start and learn the new words together.
💡 Imagine you're playing a football match at school: you run a lot, so your heart gets strong and your muscles grow. If you feel tired, eat a banana before the match for energy. After the match you'll sleep better and feel less stressed — that's being fit!
