All over the
world people enjoy sports because they help to keep people healthy, happy and
to live longer. People play different sports in winter and summer. Swimming is
fun in warm weather, but skating is good in winter.
Some sports are
so interesting. Many people enjoy going in for them. Football, for example,
spreads(传播)around the world. Swimming is
popular(受欢迎)in all countries near the sea or in those
with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or a lake! But in Canada,
Norway and Japan, many people love to skate or ski.
Some sports or
games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for
example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new.
