Sport in Our Life — Спорт в вашей жизни (1)

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 different 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.

Спорт в вашей жизни (1)

Люди во всем мире любят спорт.
Спорт делает их здоровыми, держит в хорошей форме, делает более организованными и более дисциплинированными.
Он объединяет людей разных сословий и национальностей. Многие люди занимаются спортом по личной инициативе. Они увлекаются

ходьбой на лыжах, катанием на коньках, настольным теннисом, плаванием, волейболом, бодибилдингом и другими видами спорта.
Для занятий спортом имеются все необходимые условия: стадионы, спортплощадки, плавательные бассейны, катки, лыжные станции, футбольные поля.
В наших учебных заведениях спорту уделяется большое внимание. Гимнастика является частью ежедневных занятий в детских садах. Физическая культура — обязательный предмет в школах и институтах.
Профессиональному спорту также уделяется много внимания в нашей стране. В городе, где я живу, есть много спортивных обществ, клубов и комплексов.
Практически все виды спорта популярны у нас в стране, но футбол, гимнастика и теннис пользуются наибольшей популярностью. Что касается меня, я занимаюсь настольным теннисом (пинг-понгом). Занятия теннисом требуют подвижности, живости и много энергии. Теннис держит человека в хорошей форме. Я занимаюсь теннисом пять лет, но чем больше я играю, тем больше мне это нравится. Я получаю большое удовольствие, принимая участие в соревнованиях или просто играя с моими друзьями. Иногда я хожу на теннисные корты.
Конечно, между тем, как играю я, и тем, как играют такие знаменитые спортсмены, как Джим Корьер, Стефан Эдберг, Пит Сампрас, Борис Беккер, Пер Корда, существует большая разница. Но я тренируюсь с большим удовольствием и надеюсь играть так же, как играют наши лучшие спортсмены.
