I learn English at my school. I started learning English when I was 8 and I was in the second form. I have been learning English for 5 years. I can speak and read English very well. At my English lessons I like translating texts from Russian into English and do our grammar tasks. My teacher helps me to study English. I like to study English. It is really great to find out about English people, cities and events. When I study new words I repeat them many times aloud. At our English lessons we speak English, play games, read and translate texts. I like to discuss relation between people. Usually it is easy for me to do my English homework. I like to write projects. It is difficult for me to learn English poems and songs by heart but I try. I have a very good English - Russian dictionary at home. I haven't ever visited an English speaking country. English is very important in my life. English teaches me to think, to speak, it helps me to find friends. I know that English will help me in my future profession. I like English very much.
Sport plays an important role in our life. Everyone who wants to be healthy and keep fit should go in for sports. There is a good English proverb that saying: “If we are healthy, we are wealthy”. It’s essential to do sports regularly not once in a while, only then it improves our health, gives us joy, pleasure and satisfaction. That is why I believe Physical Education is a useful school subject. At the lessons children play different games such as volleyball and basketball. In winter they go skiing if there is enough snow. Pupils also take part in various competitions and those who show the best results become winners.As for me, I’m fond of different kinds of sports and games but my favourite ones are swimming and figure skating. I can go swimming all the year round. Actually, I have been practicing it seriously since I was six. I believe that swimming makes me healthy and strong. I also like being part of a team. We have already travelled through lots of cities for our competitions and won a great number of prizes I am really proud of. Of course, I feel exhausted at times as I have trainings almost every day but I should say it’s a pleasant and satisfactory feeling. Frankly speaking I hope to become a famous sportsman one day.In spite of being deep into swimming I have a passion for figure skating. Though I rarely have time to go skating I enjoy watching it on TV. I think it’s one of the most beautiful kinds of sports. The participants are always so graceful in the unique costumes.In conclusion I’d like to say that there are summer and winter sports. In summer we all enjoy badminton, cycling and camping and in winter these are hockey, skating and skiing. So, there is an activity to choose for everyone. In my opinion, it’s necessary for people of all ages to go in for sports.
