SPORTS
Sport is very popular among people in all the countries of the world. Sport makes people healthy, keeps
them fit, more organised 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, volleyball, football, basketball, body-building etc.
All necessary facilities are provided for them: stadiums, sport swimming-pools, skating-rinks, football fields.
But, of course, one have to pay for these services.
Sport is paid much attention to in our schools and
colleges. Physical training is a compulsory subject. Different sports and games are popular with my classmates.

are held indoors in our college gymnasium.
