Help me with this please is for today. Doctors and health professionals agree, exercise is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Many fitness experts advise people to go to a gym at least three times a week and work out on fitness machines. I think fitness machines are great for those who like them. However, most people in my experience are bored silly by fitness machines and need to force themselves to use them. The result is that the majority of people who join gyms end up quitting after a few months. Is there anything that can be done? I think that people who play games for fitness do much better. Now there are some who regard games as childish and a waste of time. But to me, and to many people like me, games are fun. The desire to improve and win in a game provides people with motivation. As a result they don’t end up quitting their exercise regime. Which kinds of games are good? Any games that are competitive. I recommend tennis, racquetball, squash, basketball, soccer, softball, or many other things. Come on, get in the game, folks!

you didnt put the link on, so i cant read the paraphrase

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
