Listening: a talk on yoga

Listen to a girl's talk about yoga and pick out what she says.

On page 126 your book, Poorvi, has you listen to a girl talking about yoga. Here is what she says, told in short.

The girl does simple yoga exercises with her grandfather. He has been practising yoga since he was 16 years old, and now, at the age of 65, he is still fit and strong. She is sure this comes from good habits: eating a balanced diet regularly and making yoga a part of his life.

When she goes with her grandfather to the park, she sees lots of people, young and old, doing yogic breathing exercises.

She likes these exercises too. Whenever she is a little worried about an Inter-House competition, she does some breathing exercises early that morning. They relax her and make her feel calm and focused. She plans to learn some asanas from her grandfather during the summer vacation, and she ends by asking everyone to wish her luck.

In the talk, the girl's grandfather has practised yoga since he was 16 and is fit at 65; she does breathing exercises to feel calm before a competition and will learn asanas in the summer vacation.
