. My favourite sport is volleyball. I play it at school at my PE lessons and after school with my friends on the sport ground. Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court. The game has strict rules. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body. There are different techniques in volleyball blocking, passing, setting , specialized player positions and others. It is interesting to watch volleyball matches on TV when high class teams are playing. I would like to be a good volleyball player and take part in competitions. Перевод: Мой любимый спорт волейбол. Я играю в школе на уроках физкультуры и после школы с друзьями на спортплощадке. Волейбол - командный вид спорта, в котором две команды из 6 игроков разделены сеткой. Каждая команда старается заработать очки, когда мяч приземляется на площадке команды-соперника. Игра имеет строгие правила. Мяча обычно касаются руками, но игроки могут отбивать мяч или толкать его (иметь короткий контакт) разными частями тела. Есть разные приемы в волейболе, такие как блокирование, передача, приемы, специальные позиции игрока и другие. Интересно смотреть волейбольные матчи по ТВ, когда играют команды высокого класса. Я бы хотел быть хорошим волейболистом и принимать участие в соревнованиях.
