Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

When it comes to deep-breathing exercises for kids, the key is to make these exercises fun and easy to remember. The following breathing exercises use imagery that appeals to children, and language they will have no trouble understanding. The first one is called "Blow out the candles". Have a child blow out the candles on a make-believe birthday cake, drawing a deep breath in through the mouth, and blowing it out strongly through the mouth as well. Another effective exercise is snake breath. Tell a child to pretend he or she is a snake and hiss, inhaling deeply through the nose, and blowing out through the mouth with a soft and low hissing sound. Finally, you can try hot-air balloon breath. Have a child sit comfortably and cup their hands around their mouth. Have them inhale deeply, and on the exhale, prompt them to expand their hands outward, as if they are blowing up a giant hot-air balloon.
