Hi Pretty!
take a look at the definition: ath‧let‧ics [uncountable]
1 British English sports such as running and jumping [= track and field American English]
2 American English physical activities such as sports and exercise
gym‧nas‧tics [uncountable]
1 a sport involving physical exercises and movements that need skill, strength, and control, and that are often performed in competitions: a gymnastics display
We don �t do gymnastics at school.
2 mental/intellectual/moral gymnastics very clever thinking
3 verbal/linguistic gymnastics using words in a very clever way
�gymnastic adjective: The girls went through their gymnastic routine. |

Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading. G. M. Trevelyan, English Social History
I feel so sorry about a bad joke!

As an American: Athletics is a broad field of various sports performed inside and out--mostly track and field events--but some schools, for example, refer to their entire physical fitness programs as the athletics program. Using this defintion, atheletics can mean "sports" or "physical fitness". Gymnastics is is a much narrower field that takes place almost exclusively in a gym (gymnasium). This discipline encompasses those areas such as bar work (parallel, uneven, etc), rings, matt (floor) exercises, balance beam, trampoline, etc. Cheers, Douglas PS-Minka, that wasn �t very nice.

Dear teachers,
In a few days I am having my first ESL lesson with the students who learn computer programming. Do you happen to know some motivational video which I could introduce them before starting learning the language, smth that will spark them. Their level is pre-intermediate. Your colleague, Nadia |
