Cycling    We often hear a saying «Don’t invent a bicycle» about something simple and known for a long time. Really, the bicycle is old enough — more than a hundred years of age. Its first prototype appeared in 1791 in France. In 1800 a Russian peasant Artamonov made an iron bicycle and travelled on it from Nizhni Tagil to Moscow. First bicycles looked odd: a large (about 1.5m high) front wheel with a cranked axle. The back wheel was usually smaller. Bicycles were made of iron and riding them was not comfortable because of shaking. They were even called «boneshakers».
In 1868 rubber tyres were invented, first solid, then pneumatic. New types of bicycles appeared every year but only in 1885 people saw a model which looked like modern cycles. It had two almost equal wheels and a chain drive to the rear wheel. The frame of the cycle was diamond-shaped. This shape survived and became basic. The new machine looked more elegant than the old «spiders» which were soon abandoned. As time went by, new bicycles were invented — for two, three and even fifteen riders! The first bicycle race was held in 1868 in Paris. But the sport became popular only several decades later because bicycles were expensive and only rich people could afford them. By the end of the 19th century many factories produced thousands of bicycles which became cheap, so many people could practise cycling and take part in various competitions. Cycling competitions are generally divided into road and track events. Both kinds are in the Olympic programme. Olympic road events include individual and team races. Individual races’ distances are different usually up to 200 kilometres. The winner is the first cyclist who passes over the finish line with his front wheel. In the team road event the teams start the contest with 2-4 minutes interval, and that team wins whose members get the best sum of timings. Track events take place on special cycling tracks which look like elongated stadiums with a sloping runway made of concrete, wood or plastics.
Track events are very spectacular. The Olympic programme includes 1 km sprint races, 1 km heat or time trial, individual pursuit and team pursuit over 4 km. Modern sport bicycles are very light but firm machines made of special metals. Cyclists wear jersey shirts with pockets on the back, tight knee-long woollen shorts, perforated shoes, a cap or a leather crash helmet and mitts on their hands.

My favorite sport is volleyball.(1 предложение можешь убрать). Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams on a playing court divided by a net. The net is about 2,43 cm high.
The object of the game is for each team (6 players on each team) to send the ball regularly over the net to ground it on the opponent’s court, and to prevent the ball from being grounded on its own court. The ball is put into play by the right back - row player who serves the ball by hitting it over the net to the opponent’s court. A team is allowed to hit the ball three times to return it to the opponent’s court. A player is not allowed to hit the ball twice consecutively, except when attempting a block.
The rally continues until the ball touches the floor, goes "out" or a team fails to return it to the opponent’s court or commits a fault.
The team winning a rally scores a point. When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains a point and the right to serve, and its players rotate one position clockwise.
The team that first scores 25 points with a minimum two - point advantage, will win each non- deciding game. If there is a deciding game, it will be won by the team that first scores 15 points with a minimum two - point advantage.
Today there are more than 24 million Americans who play volleyball. And there are 800 million players worldwide who play volleyball at least once a week.
The history of volleyball starts in 1895. William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men’s Christian Association also called TMCA in Holyoke, decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis and handball to create a game for his classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball. He created the game of volleyball (at that time called mintonette).
Morgan borrowed the net from tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor, just above the average man’s head.
During a demonstration game, someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be volleying the ball back and forth over the net, and perhaps volleyball would be a more descriptive name for the sport. On July 7, 1896 at Springfield College the first game of volleyball was played.
From that day volleyball became very popular. First of all because volleyball is a very social sport. You have to work with each other and you have to get a good communication with each other to get success.
Volleyball equipment is nothing special. You can wear FLEECE PANTS.
To the FLEECE PANTS you can wear a black T - shirt with an imprinted volleyball.
Instead of the FLEECE PANTS you can also wear a MINI MESH NYLON SHORT. These fun and fancy dazzle shorts have a white nylon lining for color contrast. You can get them in colors like black, royal, purple and light blue.
A volleyball player will suggest that if you play volleyball on a regular basis that you spend the money to buy good quality leather volleyball. Playing the game with a good quality leather ball can make the game much more enjoyable, and lees painful on your arms.
You can use the volleyball in games, and to do drills to improve your game. You can do drills on your own or with a partner or group of players.

One of my favorite kinds of sport is swimming. I like this kind of sport since my childhood because I just love swimming! I’ve taken part in the swimming competition. That was very-very interesting! I’ve met many intereating people there. And I was on the third place. I think that it’s quite good for me, but I’ll train hard to take the first place in the next competition. I often go swimming with my friends to the sea and I make little competitions there to make every one happy.
But it’s the smallest part of this wonderful kind of sport in my life, my little world. I can’t live without swimming as I can’t live without oxygen. Swimming is the part of my life and of the most important part!

 Про танцы          Having a dance in ancient times, they were an expression of strong emotions (the jubilant man starts dancing). The dancing together increases the perceived sense of both the participants and spectators. The initial function of dance expression of the emotional life using the harmonious movements.[4] the Ancient people celebrated the dances of many important events of his life: birth, death, war. Using different dances they expressed their wishes for the rain, sunlight, for fertility, the protection and forgiveness.  Folk dances appeared difference between those who are dancing for yourself (domestic), and those who perform on the show (on-stage and religious). Domestic dancing with time differences appeared between the peasant and urban. Over time, from urban dance separated courtiers, ballroom and salon. These dances were the basis for the development of European ballet. 

My Favourite Sport. We all need exercise. This is true for young people (in their teens) as well as for adults. Even if you don’t plan make sports your main occupation. This is my opinion and I feel like it is true. As long as I can remember myself I was always keen on tennis. I love this sport with its old noble traditions, though myself never dreamed of becoming anything more than an amateur. I watch closely all tennis competitions and championships. There are a lot of them, but my favorite championship is Wimbledon because old tennis traditions remains there as they are. Some of the most well-known Wimbledon champions are: John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles. My dream is to get a chance to watch at least one of them playing. And meantime I play tennis with my friends. It is also a great opportunity to socialize with people who have similar interest (as any sport I suppose). 
 Мой любимый вид спорта. Нам всем нужны тренировки. Это так же верно для молодежи, как и для старших. Даже если вы не собираетесь выбирать спорт в качестве профессии. Это мое мнение, и оно мне кажется правильным. Сколько я себя помню, мне всегда ужасно нравился теннис. Я люблю этот спорт с его старыми благородными традициями, хотя я никогда не мечтала быть чем-то больше любителя. Я внимательно слежу за соревнованиями и чемпионатами по теннису. Их существует очень много, но мой любимый — Уимблдон, потому что в нем старые теннисные традиции сохраняются такими, какими были. Некоторые из самых известных победителей Уимблдона: Джон Маккенрой, Борис Беккер, Штеффи Граф, Моника Селеш. Моя мечта — увидеть хотя бы одного из них. А пока я играю в теннис со своими друзьями. Это еще и прекрасная возможность пообщаться с людьми со схожими интересами (как и любой другой спорт, я полагаю).

The first time I picked up a basketball ball in high school, but I did not strongly attracted to this sport due to the fact that I did not get a lot of tricks of the game. As you know, when it is impossible, do not want to try next, and vice versa, when it turns out, want more and more. We had to take the norm, and I did not get shots. Then I stayed a couple of times after school and went to the gym to work out. After a lot of balls thrown in the basket I liked it. There have been attempts to play with my brother in our backyard, even contrived shield made of boards and ring. But it did not last long, because we have a small yard and uneven pavement. But the desire to play I have left.
Entered the university, I got a basketball ball and went to leave the site and as it turned out, the site often come to play the local boys, and my friends are addicted. Now, we used to go to play, new people. What I like about the team games (especially in the yard), so this is a team game that brings people together, and even allows you to meet new interesting people.

I very much like to swim. Swimming is useful for health. It is a sport. Since the childhood me learned to swim. Thereby showing that it-is important! Since then I like to be engaged in swimming. It is useful!
