Speed, excitement, danger. You can find all these in the different extreme sports that have become popular last 10 years. Take bungee jumping. You jump off a bridge and you fall and fall, and then, just before you hit the ground or water, an elastic rope pulls you back. In skysurfing you jump out of aeroplane and use a board to "surf" the air, doing gymnastics in mid-air! And extreme sports on land can be just as dangerous.
Winter sports have always an element of danger. For example snowboarding, which has all the excitement of surfing but on snow, is more dangerous even than skiing. Probably the most dangerous of all the new winter sports is snowrafting. You sit in a rubber boat and sail down a mountain at great speed and you can't control the boat!
Of course, water sports have always been fun. Ice diving, for those people who are absolutely crasy. You put on diving equipment and dive under a frosen lake. And, if that's not enough, you try to walk upside down on the ice! I feel cold just thinking about it.
A lot of people are not fit nowadays. It's a big problem today. If you want to feel fit you'd better go in for one kind of sport or another. I think that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Good health is better than the best medicine. 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. In summer I go swimming as there is a beautiful lake with pure water where my Granny lives. In winter I swim in the swimming pool. I like to ride the bike. I shouldn't call myself a sports fan. Of course, I like to watch sports competitions on TV, like hockey or football. But most of all I admire extreme kinds of sport. I think they are really cool.

My name is Nikita and I’m fourteen years old. I’d like to tell you about my favourite type of sport. It’s swimming, of course. I’m into this sport since the very childhood. I even have some awards and medals for excellent swimming. We all choose which sport is the best for us. Some prefer cycling, some choose tennis, others go with basketball or football. It all depends on one’s tastes, talents and physical abilities. I chose swimming as I grew up in the countryside with a large lake. Together with my childhood friends we always went to swim in it. I can’t say it was crystal clear, but it was definitely useful in summer. Whenever it was too hot, we could go to the lake to freshen up or simply to sunbathe. Later on, when we moved to the city, I chose to attend professional classes of swimming. There were several reasons for it. Firstly, my parents regard swimming as a very healthy type of sport. And I agree with them. Every training makes me feel stronger, both physically and mentally. Other than that, it strengthens my immune system and boosts my spirits. Secondly, attending the swimming-pool brings me great joy. I have two classmates who go there with me, but we try not to get distracted. We can always chat or fool around after the training is over. One of my friends, who is rather fat, says that swimming is not as important as other sports. Hearing that, my coach said that one session of swimming is much healthier than any dieting. It burns as many calories as are found in an average piece of cake. Thus, swimmers don’t tend to gain extra weight. In conclusion, I’d like to say that there is nothing better than swimming when we want all our muscles to relax. перевод Меня зовут Никита и мне четырнадцать лет. Я хотела бы рассказать вам о своем любимом виде спорта. Это, конечно же, плавание. Я занимаюсь этим видом спорта с самого детства. У меня даже есть несколько наград и медалей за отличное плавание. Мы все выбираем, какой вид спорта лучше для нас. Некоторые предпочитают кататься на велосипеде, некоторые выбирают теннис, другие выбирают баскетбол или футбол. Все зависит от личных вкусов, талантов и физических Я выбрала плавание, так как выросла в селе, где было большое озеро. Вместе с друзьями детства я ходила туда купаться. Не могу сказать, что оно была кристально чистым, но уж точно было полезным летом. Всякий раз в жару мы могли пойти к озеру освежиться или просто позагорать. Позже, когда мы переехали в большой город, я решила посещать профессиональные курсы по плаванию. Для этого было несколько причин. Во-первых, мои родители расценивают плавание как очень здоровый вид спорта. И я с ними согласна. Каждая тренировка заставляет меня чувствовать себя сильнее, как физически, так и морально. Кроме того, она укрепляет иммунную систему и повышает мне настроение. Во-вторых, посещение бассейна приносит мне большую радость. У меня есть два одноклассницы, которые ходят туда вместе со мной, но мы стараемся сильно не отвлекаться. Мы всегда можем поболтать или подурачиться после тренировки. Одна из моих подруг, которая слишком полная, говорит, что плавание не столь важно, как другие виды спорта. Услышав это, мой тренер сказал, что один сеанс плавания гораздо полезнее, чем любая диета. Он сжигает столько калорий, сколько встречается в среднем куске пирога. Таким образом, пловцы не склонны набирать лишний вес. В заключение я хотела бы сказать, что нет ничего лучше, чем плавание, когда мы хотим, чтобы все наши мышцы расслабились.
