I. Read the passage then answer the questions (1 point)
My favorite sport is swimming. I learned to swim when I was five and I have been to the swimming
pool at least twice a week ever since.
You do not need much special equipment if you want to learn to swim only a pair of swimming trunks if
you are a boy, or a swimming costume and a cap if you are a girl. When you start you may like to use a ring
or some water wings.
How can you learn to swim? It is best to learn when you are still quite young and some parents even
taught their six month old babies to swim. It is just a good idea just to play around in the pool for a while
until you get used to being in the water. Try to find a good teacher. You must learn to keep your balance in
the water and then your teacher will show how to move your arms and legs so that you move along smoothly
and easily. As soon as you feel confident in the pool you will quickly start making good progress.
Most people learn the breast-stroke first and then go on to back-stroke and crawl. After that, you can
learn to dive. Diving is probably what I like doing most when I go to the pool. I am particularly interested in
swimming faster than anyone else but I love trying to dive as gracefully as possible.
Swimming is not an expensive sport and it is very good for all the muscles in your body. I would
recommend anyone at ant age to take up swimming as a hobby.
