Sport in Our Life

Sport

Millions of people all over the world are fond of sports and games. Sport is very important in our life. There are many proverbs about sports and health. For example: «Health is above wealth» and «A healthy mind in a healthy body». Sport is popular with children and grown-ups because it helps us to keep fit, look slim, be cheerful, active and disciplined. It makes our body flexible and increases blood circulation.

There is a great number of sports facilities in our city (stadiums, swimming pools, skating rinks, tennis courts). Every school has a gym or a sports ground. We play indoor and outdoor games there. Pupils often hold competitions and win a victory over another school team. We have excellent basketball and football teams in our school. We also run a race and show excellent results.

As for me, sport is an important part of my life. In summer I enjoy playing badminton, football and volleyball. In winter I like skating and skiing. Frankly speaking, I’m not keen on sport struggle. I prefer playing basketball to watching.

My favourite sport is an acrobatic. I do acrobatic for 4 years. This sport is for active people because you must do various jumps. You must be strong too because acrobats are usually training in pairs and groups. Sometimes I have competitions. These are among the most important days in my life. I train for three or four hours three times a week. When I come to my training, I warm up firstly. If I stretch when my muscles are cold, I might do myself an injury. Then I begin working in pair. Since I began doing acrobatic I achieve my aims. I can do many difficult jumps, different tricks and I’ve become strong. The more I train the better I become. Practice makes me perfect.

In a word, sport gives me a lot of joy and pleasure. It makes me more sporty and cheerful.
