Sport in My Life (Volleyball)
| Sport has always been the essential part of a healthy mankind life. To my mind it helps us to keep our body strong, active and fit. And it also makes our personality disciplined, organized and optimistic. Fortunately sport is getting more popular in our country. Most people go to the gym several times a week, they are keen on jogging, playing football, hockey, volleyball, basketball or tennis. Quite a lot of people go regularly to swimming-pools, ski-centers and skating-rinks.
It’s funny but there are some people who spend most of the time in front of TV watching football channels or figure-skating championships, for example. And they proudly call themselves devoted sportsmen. I think they are just passive amateurs and fans of some sports teams. And it goes without saying that watching sports events and doing sports are not the same things at all. As for me, I’ve been fond of sports activities since my childhood. To tell the truth I prefer team games because I like feeling support of my partners in such games. Volleyball is my favorite. You have to be fast and give unexpected balls to your competitors on the other side of the net. At school I was the captain of our volleyball team and we took part in our city matches. I enjoyed the atmosphere of competitions and the sweet taste of our victories. Sometimes we lost, of course, but we tried to accept our defeat with dignity. And now when summer comes we often play beach volleyball. I really can’t imagine my way of life without sport. I like regular training. It keeps my body healthy and young. |
Спорт всегда был неотъемлемой частью здорового образа жизни человечества. По моему мнению, он помогает нам поддерживать тело сильным, активным и подтянутым. Он также делает нашу личность дисциплинированной, организованной и оптимистичной. К счастью, спорт становится все более популярным в нашей стране. Большинство людей посещают тренажерный зал несколько раз в неделю, они увлекаются бегом, игрой в футбол, хоккей, волейбол, баскетбол или теннис. Довольно многие регулярно ходят в бассейны, на лыжные базы и на катки.
Это забавно, но существуют люди, которые проводят большую часть своего времени перед телевизором, просматривая футбольные каналы или чемпионаты по фигурному катанию, к примеру. И они с гордостью называют себя увлеченными спортсменами. Мне кажется, они просто являются пассивными любителями и фанатами спортивных команд. И, разумеется, смотреть спортивные события и заниматься спортом – это совсем не одно и то же. Что касается меня, я увлекаюсь спортом с детства. Честно говоря, я предпочитаю командные игры, так как люблю чувствовать поддержку партнеров в таких играх. Волейбол – моя любимая игра. Нужно быть быстрым и подавать неожиданные мячи своим соперникам по другую сторону сетки. В школе я был капитаном нашей волейбольной команды, и мы участвовали в городских матчах. Мне нравилась атмосфера соревнования и сладкий вкус наших побед. Иногда мы проигрывали, конечно, но старались принимать поражение с достоинством. А сейчас, когда приходит лето, мы часто играем в пляжный волейбол. Я действительно не могу представить свой образ жизни без спорта. Мне нравятся регулярные тренировки. Они поддерживают мое тело здоровым и молодым. |

Sport in my life
Sport is very important in our life. The general belief is that a person who goes in for sports can’t be weak and ill. Physically inactive people get old earlier that those, who find time for sport activity. And of course good health is better than good medicine.
People all over the world are fond of sports and games. In our country sport is being widely popularized as well. The most popular kinds of sport are football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, figure-skating, aerobics, ping-pong and swimming. A lot of people are fond of jogging. In schools and colleges sport is a compulsory subject. Many young people attend sport sections. Some of them dream to become professional sportsmen.
As for me, I can’t imagine my life without sport. In summer I go jogging every morning and when I have free time I attend swimming pool. In winter I like to skate with my friends. It’s fun. Also I’m fond of aerobics. First of all aerobics helps to keep myself fit. It also attracts me because it resembles dancing.
In conclusion I’d like to say that I’m absolutely sure that doing sports is the best way to keep fit. Sport makes our bodies strong, it prevents us from getting too fat, and makes us more self-organized and better disciplined.
Sport in My Life (Swimming)
Proceeding from the reason that physical culture is the shortest and surest way of building up one’s health I can say that many people go in for sports. That’s one thing in which people of different nationalities are united. The main purpose of physical culture is not to produce champions but to develop strong and healthy people.
Sport requires from a person quickness of reaction and endurance, strength, quick feet. Sport makes one more energetic and gives that recreation and change that is so necessary to keep us fit.
Sport helps men to find a common language with people of all occupations, ages, interests, it develops international understanding and friendship, helps to strengthen peace and good neighbour relations among nations.
There are numerous sports to choose and some of them depend on the time of the year. Sports are not only a way of keeping fit and spending your free time but they are also a way of socialising with different people outside of work or school.
There are a variety of sports that we can participate in today, for example, basketball, archery, swimming, table tennis, hockey, golf, badminton, squash; mountaineering, athletics (field and track events); water sports (water-skiing, canoeing) and horse racing.
In my opinion, the most popular sports in England are football, tennis, cricket and rugby. Although things have changed somewhat in the last few years, traditionally the Saturday afternoon match was a family outing and a large number of people are great fans of football. Cricket and tennis are also very popular and traditional summer sports.
My favorite sport is swimming. I learnt to swim when I was at kindergarten. We were lucky enough to have a swimming- pool and we had swimming lessons every week. Ever since then I have enjoyed swimming especially in summer when you can swim in the sea. We also play (ed) netball, football and hockey at school
In winter I’m interested in winter kinds of sports, especially skiing and biathlon. I like to watch the competitions on TV and try to find free time to spend a couple of hours in the fresh air, skiing with my friends.
Numerous recreation grounds and sports centers in our country give everyone the opportunity to try practically any sport they want to and to be taught how to play it properly as well.
