TEXTS
1. I can’t say that sport is very useful.
It takes a lot of energy and time.
Children often have no time for doing things that teenagers like doing. Sport needs only
work, work and work hard. As a result they have broken legs and arms and other injuries.
There is no good in sport, it’s necessary only to be fit. And for it there are PT
lessons at
(Mrs. Brown)
Sport is an important part of my life. I like to take part in sports competitions. I play in our school rugby team. I think that it helps me in different ways. First of all sport builds character. It teaches to win and to lose. It makes you strong, fast and patient. More than that it makes men out of boys and women out of girls. Besides it teaches you about life. And it is a good way to meet people, even from other countries. But for it you must be a good sportsman.
(Bob)
I’d rather watch sports competitions. I can’t stand those silly contests at school. To be a good sportsman doesn’t suit everyone. Many people simply like to support their fafourites. What are the competitions for? Since early times they have been held to entertain people. I think that it is much better to whach sports programmes on TV. You need go to a cold wet stadium. You can sit in a comfortable armchair, enjoy yourself.
(Phil)
