Sport
Sport is very important in our life. It is popular among young and old people. There two ways of people who are absolutely indifferent to sports. Many people do morning exercises. Thousands of people devote their leisure time to outdoor games, athletics, cycling, mountain climbing, boxing and other sports. Other people like sports too, but they only watch sports games or competitions, listen to sports news & etc. We can train themselves in sports clubs, in different sections and take part in sports competitions. In school we have got PT lessons three times a week. Here we can play football, basketball. There is a sport's ground near our school and pupils go for sports in the open air. Here we play football in autumn and spring. In winter we go in for skiing. Sports helps people to keep in good health and don't catch cold. Children and grown -ups must take care of their health & do morning exercises regulary. I want to tell you some words about Sport in Britain. Sport is really important for Great Britain. England is the birthplace of many modern kinds of sports. This is why many games that are popular all over the world have English names: football, tennis, boxing and badminton rules were invented in England. I think football is one of the most famous games in the world now. So, some words about it. Not long ago football fans celebrated the 130th anniversary of their favorite sports game. But in fact the game is much older. It was probably brought to England by Roman soldiers almost two thousand years ago. Football is a winter game in Great Britain, because winters are never too cold. The Football Association Cup is considered the best prize a team can get, and the Cup Final is the most important football event. It is played in May, at the end of the season, at Wembley Stadium. Nearly 150,000 spectators gather at the stadium, they sing and shout and wave flags. Sailing and yachting are also popular. Yachting became sport almost three centuries ago. King Charles II was the first English yachtsman. At first it was a sport of the rich, out some years ago it has become popular with common people too. More than 200,000 have personal yachts in England now and the harbours of English seaports are full of different types of yachts. The most popular outdoor winter sports is hockey. It is very popular in Russia, Canada, USA. And according to the last World Hockey Championship 2000, that was held in St. Petersburg. Czech Republic, Slovenia are really powerful commands. It is funny that Chechia & Slovenia some years ago was united country - Czechoslovakia. I like sport too. I like to jog in the evening. All summer, my dad and I were running from our house to the forest and back to home. Everyday I was running seven or eight kilometers. When I with my dad was jogging first time, I felt tired after running for only half an hour. But now I can easily run for a long distance for an hour and more, and don't feel tired. I also like to go swimming with my friends. Sometimes, I am a spectator of football matches. Sport helps me to keep in good health. Don't catch cold. I think all Sport is really necessary for all of us.
