all over the world people enjoy sports. sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.
sports change with the seasons. people play different games in winter and summer. swimming is fun in warm weather, but skating is good in winter.
some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. football, for example, has spread around the world. swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. but basketball and volleyball are rather new. people are inventing new sports or games all the time. water skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.
people from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. sports help to train a person's character. one learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.
my favorite sports is basketball. it looks so cool in tv that i was crazy about those basketball stars ever since i was little.
basketball requires speed, height and skills. i run, jump, switch, and try to hit! all parts of my body are exercised in this sport. i feel that i’m like wind flying in the playground for my goal, which makes me feel so great!
basketball needs quick reaction and decision. when chance comes, it may disappear in the next second. i should keep an eye watching as an eagle, decide and judge quickly as a leopard, and run for it as a wolf.
further more, basketball is a sports more than just exercising, it needs team work. no one can play himself. a team should work together. so i learn to cooperate with others in this game. i should understand what my teammate doing and what he needs me to do for him. on the other side, i should learn to show my teammate what i need. at the same time, i need to keep an eye on the whole game, knowing how is the situation of our team and how is the other team. it involved more cooperation and strategy.
i played basketball more for about 5 years now. i make many good friends throught this sports. it is proud to win honor for my team and my school. also i enjoy all games with my friends. basketball will be my best friends in the future and my best memory about school life
sports benefit me in many ways. firstly, sports call can make me fit and strong physically. when taking part in sports, i get the chance to train almost all parts of our bodies. in addition, sports call can maintain my psychological well being, whenever i'm in low spirit,aking part in sports can help me forget my anxieties and worries. besides, sports can teach me some lessons about life. through participation, i can learn that on the playground i not only struggle for my own self but also fight for my team. sports teach me to be considerate, cooperative and optimistic.
