Sport in Our Life


People all over the world are fond of sports and games.

Sport makes people healthy, keeps them fit, more organized

and better disciplined. It unites people of different classes

and nationalities. Many people do sports on their personal

initiative. They go in for skiing, skating, table tennis, swimming,

volley-ball, football, body-building, etc.


All necessary facilities are provided for them: stadiums,

sport grounds, swimming pools, skating rinks, skiing stations,

football fields.

Sport is paid much attention to in our educational

establishments. Gymnastics is a part of children's daily

activities in the kindergartens. Physical culture is ч compulsory

subject at schools and colleges.

Professional sport is also paid much attention to in our

country. In city, where I live, there are diferent sporting societies,

clubs and complexes.

Practically all kinds of sports are popular in our country,

but football, gymnastics and tennis enjoy the greatest

popularity. As for me, I go in for table tennis (ping-pong). It

needs mobility, liveliness and much energy. It keeps a person

in a good form. I have been playing tennis for five years, but

the more I play, the more I like it. I get a real joy taking part

in competitions or simply playing with my friends. Sometimes,

I go to tennis courts.


Certainly, there's a great distance between my manner

of playing and such favourites as Jim Courier, Stephan Edberg,

Pete Sampras, Boris Becker, Per Korda, but I do my training

with great pleasure and hope to play as well as our best

players do.
