Рассказ / Спорт (на англ.)

Sport in My Life
Sport has always been the essential part of a healthy mankind
life. To my mind it helps us to keep our body strong, active
and fit. And it also makes our personality disciplined,
organized and optimistic. Fortunately sport is getting more
popular in our country. Most people go to the gym several
times a week, they are keen on jogging, playing football,
hockey, volleyball, basketball or tennis. Quite a lot of people
go regularly to swimming-pools, ski-centers and skating-
rinks.
It’s funny but there are some people who spend most of the
time in front of TV watching football channels or figure-
skating championships, for example. And they proudly call
themselves devoted sportsmen. I think they are just passive
amateurs and fans of some sports teams. And it goes without
saying that watching sports events and doing sports are not
the same things at all.
As for me, I’ve been fond of sports activities since my
childhood. To tell the truth I prefer team games because I like
feeling support of my partners in such games. Volleyball is my
favorite. You have to be fast and give unexpected balls to
your competitors on the other side of the net. At school I was
the captain of our volleyball team and we took part in our city
matches. I enjoyed the atmosphere of competitions and the
sweet taste of our victories. Sometimes we lost, of course,
but we tried to accept our defeat with dignity. And now when
summer comes we often play beach volleyball.
I really can’t imagine my way of life without sport. I like
regular training. It keeps my body healthy and young.

The most popular kind of sport is football. It’s played all over the world. There are some countries that are more successful in this sport than the others. It’s Spain, Germany, Britain, Portugal, Qatar.
Also football is one of the most favorite sports among the teenagers and young people. Children play football in their schools, it’s very active and cool game. There will be football championship in Russia in 2018. Tourists and players from more than 60 countries are going to come there. It will be a great challenge!

In our school there are two sport clubs. One is for volleyball players and another one is for basketball lovers. These clubs have been organized since the creation of the school. The pupils from these two clubs go on different competitions. For example, last month one school held a competition where took part all schools from my city. As the volleyball club was organized earlier then the basketball club, more people play in its team; twenty pupils take part in volleyball competitions. Our school won a first place on the competitions ten times. We are proud of our sport clubs.

There are many different sport clubs in my school: basketball, volleyball, football and fitness clubs. They have been organized since our school was opened. Every year football competition is held in my school. This competition has been held for 2 weeks. The very first sport club was football club and it appeared in 2000. About 20 pupils take part in competitions. Our school has won 20 basketball matches and it’s our record.

Doing sports have a lot of advantages. First of all, doing sport helps  keep fit and be more healthy. Sport is a wonderful kind of hobby. It is not only useful but also funny. Team sport games like football or basketball teach us how important to work together to succeed. Sport helps people to rest after work and be more energetic. People who do sports regularly avoid stress. Doing sports with friends and members of family is a  good way to spend time together. I strongly recommend to do sports to stay healthy and beautifulfor a long time.

There are many different public transport on our planet like bus, underground, train or minibus. All of them have their pluses and minuses, its depends. The reason why people use theses transports has only three ways. One of them is that people dont have their own money to buy their own transport, another way is that it to much traffic to use their own transport and the last reason is because the place where people want to travel is to far to use their own transport, so they use plane or train. But is it good to use public transport? For example lets take bus. The good thing about it is that you don’t have to drive, well actually in each public traffic you don’t have to drive. The bed thing about it (public transport ) is that you have to pay for you to not to drive. But do you get enough comfort for the money that you pay? Most people think that public transport costs to much especially minibus. Now, there are also some advantages about it: most of the car crashes happens because drivers are not attentive enough, where drivers of the public transport are driving very carefully and never hurry. As Russian saying says that slow and steady wins on going.  

Times when people used to make only occasional trips and mostly stay in the same place have long since passed. Mobility is an essential part of modern life. The majority of people today move from place to place many times a day. They take buses and the underground for commuting and use trains to get to other towns and cities. Everybody is so accustomed to public transport that it would be difficult to imagine our life without it. Yet every boon has its downside. Let us take a closer look and investigate further the pros and cons of public transport.

On the one hand, public transport is a valuable asset and many people take it for granted. Distant locations would be virtually beyond reach without buses, the underground and trains. How could someone manage without a car? There are two options: walk or look for a private driver. The first option would take too long and the second could be very expensive, because prices are usually very high in the absence of competition. A good example is how, when accidents occur in the Moscow Metro, taxi drivers usually ask huge fees, because they know they have a temporary monopoly.

On the other hand, public transport has some minuses, too. The first is frequent overcrowding, which travelling by after bus and underground makes people tired and nervous, especially in cities, causing some of them to hate public transport. For example, in Moscow in the morning, it is really hard to get on buses or Metro trains; sometimes even small fights break out. The second is that traffic jams and accidents cause bus and tram delays. It is also very uncomfortable because public transport is, for many people, the only way to get to their destination. Once, in the Moscow Region, a problem with the railways meant that hundreds of people could not get to work on time and were several hours late.

 To sum up, public transport gets people different places cheaply and fast. Of course, there are some drawbacks; after all, there is nothing perfect in this world. Even so, in my opinion, it is very important to value things even if you have done nothing yourself to obtain them. Public transport is one such thing.  

I adore ball games, and most of all I love football. As they say, football, soccer and football! I play this game from spring to late autumn on sportmagazine school and the stadium. And in winter I play football indoor sports complex. I was invited up there our school physical education teacher who also teaches classes.
Football is a very interesting game. It develops speed, intelligence, accuracy, reactions, endurance. Say what you will, and football coaches, not only my feet, but the body as a whole. Players also very hardened people, because chase the ball in the fresh air from early spring to late autumn. Also football is a team game and develops cohesion and the team spirit. And most of all in this game I am attracted to her unsurpassed passion!
I follow European and world football Championships. And very glad that the last European championship, Euro-2012, was held in Ukraine and Poland. My father never missed a single match on TV.
Of course, I hoped that the national team of Ukraine will reach at least the quarter-finals. But, unfortunately, this has not happened. However, Andriy Shevchenko was and still is my favorite player, although already completes his football career. After the release team from the championship I was rooting for the British, then shifted his attention to the Spaniards. Although most of my friends was supported by Italy, I was right. Spain won Euro-2012!
In fact, my ulybina team is FC Shakhtar Donetsk, and in Europe - “Manchester United”. However, if in the international tournament plays Dynamo, I highly support this team. She gets the glory of our country.
Unfortunately, I haven’t visited our large Stadnik, that is, the “Olympic” and “Donbass-Arena”. When I grow up, be sure to visit. Want to see matches with your own eyes! And even go to the stadium fan tune and the Ukrainian flag and sincerely I will be rooting for your favorite team!

Я хотел(а) бы заниматься лыжным спортом. Это очень здорово. Когда ты едешь с горы, в лицо дует свежий ветер. Снег повсюду. Можно кататься с больших гор, но можно и с маленьких. Лыжный спорт- очень закаляет, укрепляет здоровье и приносит огромное удовольствие! 
I wanted to do skiing. This is very cool. When you go in the mountains, in the face of a fresh breeze blowing. Snow everywhere. You can go from large mountains, but you can with the little ones. Skiing is a very tempers, strengthens health and brings great pleasure!

We live in a polluted world, that is why more and more people are concerned about their health and that is why more and more of them start going in for sport.

Sport plays an important role in people’s life. It is popular among the young and the old. Many people do morning exercises, go jogging and go to the gym. Others prefer watching sports games on TV and listening to sports news rather than going in for sport. Physical Education is an important subject in Russian schools now. Pupils have physical training twice a week. Boys and girls play volleyball and basketball during the lessons. School teachers turn pupils’ training into enjoyment, not obligation. A lot of different competitions are held at school and many pupils take part in them. All participants try to get good results and win.

Мы живем в загрязненном мире, поэтому все больше и больше людей заботится о своем здоровье и поэтому все больше и больше из них начинают заниматься спортом.
Спорт играет важную роль в жизни людей. Он популярен среди молодых и старых. Многие люди делают утреннюю зарядку, бегать и ходить в спортзал. Другие предпочитают смотреть спортивные матчи по телевизору и слушать Новости спорта, чем занятия спортом. Физическое воспитание является важной темой в российских школах сейчас. Ученики имеют физические тренировки два раза в неделю. Мальчики и девочки играют в волейбол и баскетбол, в ходе занятий. Школьные учителя очередь учащихся, обучение в удовольствие, а не обязанность. Много различных конкурсов, в школе проходят и многие ученики принимают в них участие. Все участники пытаются добиться хороших результатов и выиграть.

About Football and Arsenal FC

Football’s a funny old game, as a reasonably famous television pundit in Britain once said. And he was right. One moment you can be beguiled by its beauty, the next you are mugged by its ability to frustrate and disappoint. I chose to support Arsenal Football Club having watched them lose a cup final. Yes, lose. Arsenal, who play at the Emirates Stadium in North London, are one of the English Premier League’s 20 teams. Founded in 1886, they have won countless league and cup competitions in their lifetime and are, arguably, one of the biggest clubs in Europe. You will sometimes hear Arsenal referred to as the Gunners, a nickname that originates in the fact that the club was started by workers at the Woolwich Arsenal Armament factory. Fans are known as affectionately as Gooners. Football, as you will probably have already guessed, also goes by the name of soccer.
