We know a lot about physical training and sports. They are part of our
everyday life. Sports help people to stay in good shape. Many boys and
girls are interested in sports. They take part in sports activities,
they visit either a sports club or a sports school. From time to time
competitions are held and we hear about new champions. But what is the
aim of such competitions? Is it to find out those who can produce the
best results? Yes, that is one of the aims. But the main thing is to
help young people to be healthy and strong. All people can go in for
sports, but not all of them can become champions. It’s a very difficult
thing to win a victory in an athletics competition. An athlete must
train a great deal and know many things about his or her kind of sport.
At the same time it must be said that physical training and sports are
very useful. They include tennis, athletics, hockey, football, swimming,
basketball and so on. I think that team kinds of sports are popular
among pupils because they develop quick thinking, character and self
control, but it should be kept in mund that there is no obligatory aim
to become a champion. Anyone who wants to to become a champion must
remember that we are playing for our school, not for yourself, with a
team, not alone.
