People all over the world are fond of sports
and games. Sport makes people healthy, keeps them fit, more organized and
better disciplined. Some people go in for sports for their health and some for
professional aims. There are many stadiums, sports grounds, swimming pools,
football fields in each town. Practically all kinds of sports are popular in
this country, but football, figure-skating and tennis enjoy the greatest
popularity. A lot of people are fond of jogging. In the morning and in the
evening we can see people jogging in the parks, stadiums and even in the
streets. In every school pupils spend much time going in for sports. First of
all they have their physical training lessons. And after classes they may train
different kinds of sport at different sports clubs and sections. Professional
sport is also paid much attention to in this country. Every year there are a
lot of sports competitions, sports days and Olympiads. Once in four years the
Olympic Games take place in different countries. There are Summer and Winter
Olympic Games. This is a great sport competition of the best sportsmen in the
world. 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.
