Sports

Almost everybody likes sports. More and more people, men and women, the young and the old, are willing to take part in some kind of sports nowadays. Sports are no longer limited to a few professional sportsmen. It has, in fact, become the most popular form of recreation and relaxation that practically all can enjoy. This is because sports help to keep people fit, strong and healthy, and consequently help people to live a happier, fuller and longer life.

People in different places like different sports. For example, those people living in a hot climate or near rivers, lakes or the sea generally like to go swimming, while those living in a cold climate or near snow-capped mountain areas enjoy shining. The Mongolians, living on the prairie, are famous for their horse racing, and the Arabs, being in the desert, are noted for their camel riding. In fact, people almost everywhere have their own special types of sports.

As for me, my favorite kind of sports is fishing. Weather permitting, I always go to fish in the small river near my home on Sundays. In order to be a successful fisherman, I have to be patient and attentive, quick of eye and deft of hand. Apart from catching some fish and staying in shape, I have learned quite a lot of things through fishing.
