Everybody knows that sport is an important part of healthy lifestyle. Fortunately, there are many opportunities nowadays to do different types of sports. First of all, we always have lessons of physical education at school. Secondly, from the very childhood I attend martial arts, to be precise karate lessons. It's one of my favourite types of pastime. I've had several teachers and all of them were highly professional. Another sport that I enjoy is swimming. I'm just an amateur, and I often go to the nearest swimming-pool. Luckily in summer I get a chance to swim in the open sea. I'm not the only sport lover in our family. My younger brother is also keen on sport. His favourite sport is tennis and he is really good at it. Besides doing sports, I like watching different games on TV. Every winter, for example, I watch figure skating, skiing and hockey championships. In summer I enjoy watching football and rowing. Besides active games, there are also some other types of games which also refer to sports, among them chess, backgammon, billiards, air hockey, bowling and others. When I have free time I do play these games with my friends. I don't think there are any types of sport which I don't like.

My name is Faina 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.
