Sports and Games

Sports and games

Sports are one of the most popular leisure time activities. They help us to keep fit both physically and
mentally. It can be a form of relaxation. Also, it can help take off some weight and prove our skills
and strength. Last but not least, during sports we can meet a lot of new people and see how it feels
to be a winner or a loser. The other way is a pasive sportsmen… as a spectator or bet money on
sports reset… But it can be dangerous.

DIVISION

We can separate sports into two groups according to where they can be practised: indoor and
outdoor sports. The most numerous group of games are ball games. Among indoor sports we can
include gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, wrestling or dancing. On the other hand, outdoor sports are:
climbing, horse-riding, riding a bike, and
most of all winter sports. But they can be
practised during the cold weather.So, there
are bad conditions in the Czech republic for
that… only a few months a year.
Other separation:
winter x summer, individual x group
PE LESSON
Our PE lesson looks like: We have them twice a week for 45 minutes. Before the lesson, we change
our clothes in dressing room. Especially some shorts, T-shirt and trainers. Also girls have to make a
ponytail. When the weather is good, we go out and we make dumping, running, playing games and
so one. But the most of time the weather is bad, so we have to stay in gym. Firstly, we have to start
with warm-up and then each lesson is different. But an activity I hate at all is pole climbimg.
OLYMPIC GAMES
The Olympic games were already held in ancienit Greece. The

Olympics were renewed by Pierre de Coubertin about a hundered
years ago. Nowdays they také place every four years. Since 1924
there are two parts to the games- the winter part and the summer
part. During Covid they were cancelled once.
OUR COUNTRY, TOWN
In our town, there are many facilities. We can visit the athletics stadium, winter stadium, football
stadium, swimming pool, tennis courts, ski slope, running tracks on Hory, and and also some training
ground next to the Gymnázium Česká Třebová or in the park Javorka.
Of course there are many private gyms.
In our country the most played sport is ice-hockey and football for boys and girls like dancing or
playing volleyball… For spectators the best sport is ice hockey, football or biathlon.
But at all I think nowdays the gym leads for younger generation. Our country has produced many
sportsmen who achieved succes in top international competitions. Especially in ice-hockey, tennis
and athletics.
Worldwide the most famous events are: Tour de France in France, Wimbledon in London, NHL in
America, Dakar- race of motos in desert (in Africa). In the Czech republic it’s ice-hockey and football
league and also we have a lot of running races for fans.
GREAT BRITAIN
The British are great lovers of competitive sports, and when they don’t take part in, talk
about it a lot. England was the first home of modern games. Especially football. It’s a
collective game of 11 members play in the pitch with a ball. The aim is kick into the ball and place it in
the goal. (The most famous clubs are Manchester United, Arsenal,…)
They also play rugby (They use an oval ball) or cricket, horse-racing.
THE UNITED STATES
The most played sports are American football, baseball, basketball and ice-hockey.
These games are turned into big shows and make a lot of money. Football is called soccer.
American football is a little bit different to European in a shape of ball, holding and scoring.
AUSTRALIA
In Australia the water sports are very popular (sailing and surfing). Summer is the time
for tennis, cricket and golf. In winter, cricket grounds make way for the sport unique to
Australia - Aussie Rules Football.
CANADA
All Canadians play and love ice-hockey. Hovewer the national sport is a lacrosse.
THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF SPORTS
There are some disadvantages of doing sports: Injuries, Drugs, Dopping, Violence
MY ATTITUDE TO SPORTS
Sports and games have always played an important role in my life and even now they are my number one
hobby. Since my early childhood, I used to do swimming, gymnastics. Then I started dance. Sometimes we tried
a competition, but we nearly always failed. When I was 12 I started to play volleyball. It was fine… until the
trainings and matches were all day long and I didn’t catch anythyng other. So, a few monthes before corona
time, I stopped with volleyball. Then I have done indoor sports. Alpinning, jumping and fitbox are number one.
Nowdays I like walking and indoor sports. And we are trying easier form of cross-fit.
