Keepihg fit and doing sports.
I you want to feel fit you'd better go in for one kind of sport or
another. I should admit that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Good
health is better than the best medicine. «You have a sound mind in a sound
body »as the old Latin saying goes. The English proverb «Sickness in the body
brings sickness to the mind »expresses a similar idea but from different point
of view. All kinds of physical exercises are very useful to make our bodies
strong and to keep ourselves fit and healthy. To tell the truth I don't do
sports regularly and it is not an essential part of my daily life. In the
morning I do some exercises just to awake. Then some aerobics for myself. It
puts me into the fine moods. In summer I go swimming as there is a beautiful
river with pure water where my Granny lives. In winter, it's rather long at our
place, I should say, I prefer skiing (There is nothing like the sight of a
winter forest - a real fairy-tale). I like to ride the bike and toboganning in
winter. Mum says that I'm to old to do it, why not after all? I shouldn't call
myself a sports fan. Of course, I like to watch sports competitions on TV.
Fortunately, they show different ones - football, basketball. I like tennis
tournaments very much. I think, it's a very intelligent kind of sport for
clever thinking people. Also I admire skiing championships, biathlon,
swimming. But what I like most is basketball. The best games are viewed on
TV. I came to know that modern basketball appeared in 1891 in the USA. The
originator, John Naismith was a coach at the college. He invented the baskets
and the rules of the game. Since then basketball has be become very popular and
is spread all over the world. It is the sport of strong tall men, the sport of
giants.
Doing sports a man become strong, healthy and gay. He begins to
take care of his health.
«Good health is better than wealth», you know. It's true, I should
say. In our school we have a nice gym. Sports and games are popular among
pupils. A lot of children train at special sport schools.
