1) I like sport very much! I do not do sport, but I prefer to watch it, especially boxing, football, basketball. My friend Jenya also like to watch football together with me. 2) Every spring and autumn there are different sport competitions in my school. For example: swimming and light athletic tournament, football between different grades, volley, basketball and so on. 3) I think Russian has traditionally been good at gymnastics or free calisthenics. As far back as USSR times, gymnastics was perfect. There are many gymnasts whose names the whole world knows! They are Nikolai Andrianov (he was a Soviet/Russian gymnast. He held the record for men for the most Olympic medals at 15), Svetlana Khorkina, Evgenia Kanaeva is a rhythmic gymnast, Aliya Mustafina etc. However, the most I admire Maria Gorokhovska (she achieved seven medals at the 1952 Summer Olympics!), she and her work are amazing! 4) In modern society, sports make sense because their popularity is turned into revenue in the form of ticket sales and TV advertising. National pride and bragging rights makes it so popular and important! The Olympic Games originated long ago in ancient Greece. Exactly when the Games were first held and what circumstances led to their creation is uncertain. The Greeks idealized physical fitness and mental discipline, and they believed that excellence in those areas honored Zeus, the greatest of all their gods – this is the origin of Olympic Games. 5) We already know that sports are beneficial for our physical health. But there’s more good news. In recent years, research has also found that sport participation can positively affect our mental health. Here’s how. a. Sports improve your mood b. Sports improve your concentration c. Sports reduce stress and depression d. Sports improve sleep habits e. Sports help you maintain a healthy weight f. Sports boost your self-confidence g. Sports have been linked to leadership traits 6) Actually, I do not do sport... But every time when I have time after school I like to run or play football with my friends. 7) May be in future, if I keep play football I come greatest sportsman in my country. I hope our national sport become more! Our generation and we need sport, need healthy spirit!
