Sports play an important part in our Irte. Many people go in for sports. The main value of sports is that it helps to bring up a healthy generation. Mass participation in sports activities is much better in this respect than professional sports. Professional sports are primarily connected with money. But when money steps in, sports step out. The principle of mass participation means giving everybody a chance to have necessary facilities, equipment and coaching in one's favourite sport. There are many kinds of sports. The most popular sports in the world are: football, hockey, tennis, basketball, track and field, boxing, figure-skating. All these sports have their supporters. But certainly football is in the first place in the world as far as the number of fans is concerned. Lots of people spend hours watching football matches on TV or visit stadiums, especially young fans. But watching sports events and going in for sports are two different things. Regularly, every four years, the Olympic games are held. They gather sportsmen and spectators from all parts of the world. On the whole, sports favour the expansion of international contacts and improve understanding between peoples. The youth want to meet on sports grounds as friends, not on battle-fields as enemies. My favourite sport is swimming. I learnt to swim early and now I can swim well. In winter I go to a swimming pool and train with a coach. In summer, when I have a chance, I prefer to swim in the river or in the sea. It is a pleasure to lie in the sun after swimming and get a tan. But I care not only for swimming. I am fond of tennis and chess. I even took part in sports tournament in chess when I was at school. Every city and town has stadiums and sport grounds. So nearly everyone can lead a healthy way of life and improve one's physical fitness. For the professional sportsmen there is a vast network of sports societies and centres. There are gyms and sports grounds at schools and colleges. Physical education is compulsory. There are also gyms, fitness centres and courts requiring payment. They are for well-off people. But at least everyone can do morning exercises. 107
