Millions of people are fond of sports and games. They help us to stay healthy and active during our life. Scientists admit that everyone should at least do some morning exercises or have a long walk for about three kilometers a day to keep his shape. Moreover, sport teaches people discipline and better organization during the day. In each part of the world one can find various kinds of sport.
Each country has its own traditions about sport.
For example Russians are known to be great gymnasts, swimmers, figure skaters and hockey players. During the Olympic Games our sportsmen always show high class and win many gold medals. Winter skiing and snowboarding have also become very popular in Russia for the winter is long and snowy and our people have much time for practice. At every school there are at least three PE lessons a week, some of them are held outdoors despite of the weather. There are also many sporting societies and clubs.
Russians are also well-known for the soccer team though it is not our national kind of sport. Soccer has British origins and their people love to play it. Besides soccer they are fond of cricket, golf, polo and horse-racing. To tell the truth there are some fancy types of racing in Great Britain, for example dog-racing, donkey-racing and even cheese-racing. A large number of British like to play and watch tennis. Every tennis fan knows the famous
Wimbledon Championship that calls together the best tennis players in the world.
As to me, I'm fond of karate. This is a Japanese kind of sport but now it is quite popular in Russia too. We have a karateclub in our school and I go there three times a week. I have been practicing for two years and have achieved a yellow belt. There are many styles in karate, for example “chito-ru”, “shotokan” or “gosoku-ru”. Our master teaches us that the most important thing is to defend yourself, not to attack others. Karate helps me to be strong and self-confident. My dream is to become a master and take part in the international championships.

Hello! The expression “Sport is life” has long become an indisputable truth. Indeed, people who professionally or amateurly go in for sports live longer, more interesting and brighter. Since you are studying English, you should know the names of your favorite sports in English in order, for example, to write an essay or tell your English-speaking friends about your hobby.
There are different types of sports: winter, summer, Olympic, Russian, American, team and individual, etc. There is also unusual sport, extreme and even dangerous. We each have our favorite sports and the champions we want to look up to. Even if we are not actively involved in football, we still have our favorite teams that we support at all matches.
There are even computer sports in which thousands of gamers and computer geniuses compete every year. We love some competitions (hockey, dancing, figure skating, chess), others we do not understand and do not accept (cricket, curling, baseball). But they exist, and we must know their names in English, as well as the names of professions in English, in order to be able to tell about ourselves.
I suggest you study the table of various sports in English with translation and transcription. Look, is your favorite sport here?
