SPORTS & PEOPLE

There are many different sports that people enjoy. Some people do sports for their career and some people do sports because they enjoy doing that sport. For some sports you need a lot of equipment. 1) ............................. . It is free to do some sports like running or hiking but you need to pay money to do some other sports like squash or golf.

Some people only like to watch sports. 2) ............................. . They think it is difficult or it is not necessary to play. But they don’t miss a match on TV. Some other people can’t stand watching sports. They think watching sports is a waste of time. 3) ............................. . They think doing a sport is better because when you do a sport you get physical exercise.

Most popular sports are played with a ball. Think of tennis, football, basketball, volleyball and even snooker. You need one or more balls to play these sports. Some sports take a longer time to do and some don’t.

4) ............................. . My dad likes tennis. He plays tennis very often, three times a week. He doesn’t do any other sports. My mum loves running. She goes for a run every morning. She says she feels good when she runs and she forgets all her problems. I have a little sister. 5) ............................. . She is in the gymnastics team at her school. She is really good. She even joins competitions and wins medals. I don’t like sports that I need to be physically active. My favourite sport is chess. 6) ............................. . There is a Chess Olympiad for young people in Greece in October 2017. I hope I can join that.
