Part 3: Translation
Translate the following passage into Urdu.
[20]
Why do you swim? For the health benefits to your heart and lungs? For the chance to be with some of
your friends at the pool? Because, in your case, running every day hurts? Because just being in the
water is relaxing? Or is it something else? If you are looking to get away from the heat of the summer,
then a dip in the water is exactly what you need; it is a good way for you to cool off.
Perhaps you have been doing some other form of exercise, and now an injury prevents you from putting
weight on a knee or ankle. Swimming can help you exercise almost the entire body – heart, lungs, and
muscles – with very little pain.
Spending time with your friends swimming is a great pastime. Exchanging stories, challenging each
other, and sharing in the hard work make swimming with others a rewarding experience. It is great for
general fitness, but unless you swim very fast for hours and hours it is not a great way to drop excess
kilos.
