Sports and games
When we practise sports, we develop the parts of our body. Only by
sports can we make our bone strong, our muscles big and our mind quick and
active.
Very often, we see weak people, it is because they never practise any
sports. Sports are as necessary to us as our lessons and tasks are. If we only
studied and never played any games, we should become very dull.
Nowadays, there are many kinds of games such as: football, basketball,
volleyball, tennis.
Questions:
1. What can make our bones strong, our muscles big and our mind quick and
active ?
- ...................................................................................................................................

2. what should we be like if we only studied and never played any games ?
