Sport in my life
It`s a great hour for me to tell you something on my topic. Well, so we`ll begin. Sports are organized athletic activities played individual or in teams. Most sports can be played by men and women, by boys and girls. There are a lot of kinds of sports in the world such as rowing, motoring, skating, swim11ming, and so on. But people`s tastes differ. Some of them use sports as a fun and another ones as a source of getting money. Large crowds attend sporting events every month. Millions of sports fans, who are too lazy to pay a match a visit, also follow their favorite teams and athletes by listening to live accounts of games on radio or watching sports competions on television and keep their fingers crossed for them. By the way, sports are very good for active relaxation and are important for our physical and mental health. And I just can`t not to mention the words of Yevgeny Yevtushenko, "True sport is always a duel: a duel with nature, with one`s own fear, with one`s own fatigue, a duel in which body and mind are strengthened". So, I can say that sports play a very important role in our life. They develop our health and moral qualities. I consider that a person who does morning exercises will live longer than that who doesn`t care for them. Believe me, that any sport you choose is worth going in for because there are a lot of interesting things to do and to see. For example, chess develops man`s brains, football keeps a person in a good form. As for me I care for table tennis most of all, because it needs mobility and much energy. I go in for it twice a week and can say that it helps me to work like a horse during the whole week. I am completely sure that when a person is too passive and simply does nothing about sports, it means that he destroys his health. You know that health is above wealth. In general, some people think that they live for eating and not eat for living. I try not to respect such people because they do not understand the aim of their life. A word of Plato may be said about this thing, "The life which is unexamined is not worth living". In other words, everyone has to have his own aim of life. When you have a personal aim you hope that it will come true, so when there is hope there is life. Many people do not realize the fact that sports keep their health in a good way. Billings, an American writer, said that there are a lot of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they have no time to enjoy it. Personally I find it necessary to emphasize that if you are too busy and don`t have enough time to go in for any sport, and you don`t pay different sports clubs a visit, simply do morning exercises and go for a walk every day. My word is that it will help you to be healthier than you are. Once Robert Louis Stevenson said that there is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. It means that when a person is healthy he is happy. They say that at first sport was created to bring people health and then money, if possible. But many people do not understand this simple thing and try their best to set a great record. And it is very harmful at times. So on the one hand sport brings health and on the other hand it brings risky consequences. So the main thing is that we must use sport in a proper way and not in a risky one. And now all that remains for me to say is that sport is our life and our life is sport.
