SPORT IN MY LIFE

Sport plays a great and important role in our life. If you want to be healthy and keep fit you must go in for sports. “If we are healthy, we are wealthy”, - says the English proverb. It is necessary to go in for sports regularly, then it does our health good and puts us in a cheerful mood.

In our country the most popular summer sports and games are football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, swimming, badminton, cycling. Skiing, skating and figure-skating, hockey are popular in winter.

Physical Education (P.E.) is an important subject in schools. The same in our school where we have PE lessons twice a week. At these lessons we run, jump, play volleyball and basketball. If the weather is fine, we have lessons outdoors.

A great number of students take part in different competitions held in our school. Our volleyball team participates in them every year but we haven’t won the first place yet. Playing volleyball is a hard work. We do not only practise in the gym twice a week, but go for a run in the morning and do morning exercises after that.

When summer holidays come, I greatly enjoy going for a bicycle ride. I ride along country roads and marvel the changing scenes. Discovering new places and new sights I take photos and by the end of the summer I’ve got the whole photo album about my wanderings. Riding a bike gives me exercise and keeps me in a good health. Coming back from a ride I feel wonderful and full of new impressions.

I think it is essential for people of all ages to go in for sports, as it’s an important condition for excellent health and high quality of life.
