Sumo wrestlers
I can summarise a text.
THINK! Look at the photo. What do you know about sumo wrestlers?
The sports interview ...
SUMO STYLE
Those sumo wrestlers are big! How much do they weigh?
Most top wrestlers weigh more than 140 kilos. The heaviest are around 190 kilos.
Is it a popular sport?
Well, there aren't many sumo wrestlers these days. It isn't a healthy lifestyle.
(1) __________________
They get up early and train from 5 a.m. until about 1 p.m.
What do they have for breakfast?
They don't have breakfast - so they're very hungry at lunchtime and they eat a lot!
(2) __________________
They have a special dish called chankonabe. There's a lot of meat or fish in chankonabe and there are also a lot of vegetables.
(3) __________________
Well, it's full of vitamins and there isn't much fat in it, but they eat enormous quantities - sometimes six or seven bowls - and then maybe five bowls of rice.
But they exercise a lot.
Yes, but not after meals. After lunch they sleep, then they get up and eat more chankonabe.
(4) __________________
Yes, some eggs, salads, some desserts maybe; but always chankonabe. So, if you want to be sumo size, eat and sleep a lot. If not, maybe do sports which are healthier!
