II. READING 2

1. Read the text and say if Dave Dyke is right or wrong.

   Marathon from an Armchair

   My name is Dave Dyke and I’m not a marathon runner. “It is the worst thing in the world to run a marathon,” my friends say to me. “But it is the best thing to finish a marathon.” I don’t try. I just watch marathons on TV and read about them in newspapers and magazines. And I think it’s fun. I know now a lot of interesting things about different marathons and about many runners. I don’t think people must take part in marathons. If you are not fit, marathons can’t help you, I know. When some men and women get up early and start running, I stay in bed. And I’ve got a healthy, happy life. I’ve got a lot of sleep, my comfortable armchair, my favourite television and good friends. Run a marathon? Run for fun? Never.
