Sports in Our Life

            If you want to keep fit, you must go in for sports. Thousands of people do it because sports help people to keep in good health. Sport makes people strong, healthy and gay.

            The most popular sports in our country are athletics, tennis, football, volleyball, basketball, hockey, gymnastics, skiing and skating. There are lots of stadiums, sports clubs and sports grounds in Russia for outdoor and indoor activities.

             In every school pupils have physical training lessons. From time to time every school organizes competitions in different kinds of sport. Some of my friends visit additional sports courses such as water sports, wrestling and boxing and attend fitness clubs.

            Sport is an essential part of my daily life. Every morning all the year round I do my morning exercise. Almost every day I do some training. In summer I go swimming. In winter I spend my holidays in the country where I ski, skate or toboggan.

            But frankly speaking, personally I prefer watching sport. Best of all I enjoy watching figure skating. I admire beautiful women and strong men who can dance on the ice so well. I would never do anything like that. Also I never miss the Olympic Games.

            To hold the Olympic Games is an ancient tradition in the world of sport. This tradition began more than two thousand years ago in Greece. All the cities sent their best athletes to the city of Olympus to compete in the Games. During the Olympic Games all wars stopped and the people lived in peace. Nowadays the Olympic Games take place every four years. There are Winter OG and Summer OG.

              Of course people understand that sport is important in our life. It helps us to keep fit and stay healthy. But in the modern world people don’t need muscles, difficult things can be done by machines. That’s why people are much happier sitting on sofas with a book or in front of the computer.
