hi guys.
i have a problem in blue interchange (2) page108 exercise5
. can you explain more about

correct verbs that we use this nouns.

first off, do u know wot collocation is precisely?
Oxford definition: the fact of two or more words often being used together, in a way that happens more frequently than would happen by chance

in English(even in other languages) there are some words which have to come together to make sense;...as an example : I make lots of mistakes while speaking English...if u use: I have lots of mistakes while speaking English then it would be sorta strange to native English speakers....because, 'mistake' mostly comes with 'make'
some other collocations might be: do your best/ give it a try/ make a wish
n so many other nice collocations...
here you have to match the given verbs with appropriate nouns...for example we always have: 'tell lies'...we can never say: 'say lies/ express lies'...

by the way, for finding the collocation u should go thru English-English dictionary n by just having a look at the examples u can catch them all...
n there is also some specific dictionaries for that
feel free to ask if u had more questions

Sport:

The sports are variant. Let me to difinte it for you. It is an activity that you do for keep your health good and it make you feel better after do it and you will be pleasure after them. Your body needs physical effort or skill and it doesn’t like to stop. The sports make you get many energy for your activities in a day. You have to do them if you like your healthy. It’s very important in our life. If do them in young days when you get old you won’t be like other old men / old women.
let’s me to say to you what sports I like, I only like swimming and I only like go swimming. But I’m not pro in it and I’m going to learn it soon. I like it because it can help me to feel better, when I’m depressed just the swimming cans help me. I like water much more than everything. It’s really wonderful. Of curse I like other sports like, volleyball, tennis, bike riding, hiking. But I like swimming more than other sports.
Sometimes the sports that I watch in TV is football. I don’t like very much because it waste my time. We only watch it don’t learn anything so we waste our time (This is my personal opinion). My team that I like is Esteghlal just that’s why I like blue colour. I played football with my friends in alley when I was smaller. But I don’t like it very much. Now I don’t play any sports.
I can speak about this subject much more

The sports are variant:
the term 'sport' doesn't need any article...so u have to omit 'the'...
variant doesn't seem to be correct...it's better to use: there are different kinds of sports...

Let me to difinte it for you:
after 'let' we dun have 'to'...
definite: define
so: Let me define it for you

It is an activity that you do for keep your health:
do sth to...so here it should be: It is an activity that you do to keep yrself healthy

after do it:
after/befor doing sth: after doing it

you will be pleasure after them:
will be (p.p): will be pleased

The sports make you get many energy:
after make in such sentences it's much better to have an adjective to describe yr feeling or whatever n the adj of 'ejergy' is 'energetic' so u can say: Doing Execrises/ sports can make you energetic

if you like your healthy:
if you like to be healty

young days:
early ages/ when you are young

the swimming cans help me:
as u know when we talk about the third person we should add 's' to the main verbs, but for Modal verbs the story is different...when we have 'should/may/can/shall/n .. ' neither the modal verbs, nor the main verbs accept the 's'...: e.g: I can swim/ she can swim...I should study hard/ She should Study hard
so here: Swimming can help me

in TV:
on t.v

My friend Brain and I decided to change the subject after 2 or 3 days. But it mostly depends on you! For example if we see that all the members have talked about the subject we will change the subject.

Hi folks
Thanks to Brain because of starting the new subject
I love sports and all the athletes and that’s why I do that regularly. Let me talk about my sport. I love fighting sports so I do my favorite fighting sport. I do Wushu That most of the people in the world know that by this name: Shoalin Kung fu.
I've fallen in love with this sport since I was a child and seen Jacky Chan and lee's films and I've done this sport since 3 years ago and I'm preparing myself for the competitions for next year. Wushu has many styles and my style is Shaolin Khong Quan . the master of this style is Mr. Hosseini and he is also my master. This sport divided into 2 parts: Sanshou(fighting) & Taolu(art work) That I mostly do the art work.
Let me to talk about this subject wider. I suggest all of you to do your favorite sport . because I experienced that sport is not good just for our physical health.
Try to do your favorite sport even you don't have enough ability to do that. Just try to release your extra energy. I know it's really hard at first because your muscles will become painful at first. But if you keep on trying and do that regularly you will used to doing that, like me. I'm addicted to my sport.
Let me to tell you the truth, the most important experience that I have when I was in 3rd grade in high school. (I started this sport when I was in 2nd grade in high school). One day I got a really bad mark in one of the most important lessons and I was so sad that I wanted to go somewhere and just cry. In that day, after the school I was on my way to the gym. I went gym and that day we exercised really hard. But after the exercise I didn't feel as sad as before doing sport and the way of my thinking about my mark completely changed.
So I thought that the mental effect of sport is really great. And I suggest you that if you feel unpleasant try to do sport instead of thinking over about your problem.
Let's talk about sport and child. Child that do sport don't know much things about sport and they just want to spend their time and maybe they will become uninterested in sport, so the most thing that they need is encouragement.
When I was a child, If somebody encouraged me, I didn't abandon my sport at all and I became a master of this sport. But nobody encouraged me and I abandoned this sport until 3 years a go. So try to encourage the chide who do sports.
Wow … I'm really sorry! I talked a lot.
