Post Nº4: A Sport I love (Option A)

Swimming has been my favorite sport since I was very small. I learned to swim when I was just 4 years old, because my father is a great swimmer and he always took us to vacay to his hometown Angol, which is a small city in the Araucanía region in the south of Chile. I really love swimming because it provides you freedom. When I go to a lake, I like to swim de deepest I can and then let myself go free. Also, I love being outside in the summer. To me, being in or near water helps to reduce feelings of stress. Just listening to the sound of water is soothing for me. Swimming is a great way to enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and water all at the same time. Those things combined are great at instantly improving my mood. However, there are many other reasons why swimming is a popular sport. Firstly, swimming is a sport for all age groups, and it is a lifetime activity. People can learn to swim as young as 4 or 5 years old or as old as 60 or 70. All it takes is the right instruction and desire to get in the pool. Secondly, swimming is cheaper than in other sports. You don't have to spend much money on implementation. All you need is just a swimsuit that makes you feel comfortable and a pool, river, lake or the ocean. Even though, if you have to pay for an admission ticket, these will not be so expensive. Finally, swimming is one of the most popular sports in the world and gives you the chance to practice it with your family, with some friends at the pool, or just to dip yourself in cool water. Spending hours at the pool on hot summer days are always my favorite pastime.

What about you? What sport do you love?

Post Nº4: I Sport I Would like to Practice (Option B)

There are many kinds of sports which I would like to practice these days, for instance, basketball, volleyball, and cycling, the one I would like to start practicing football. Football is one of the most popular sports around the world. Basically, it is a collective game with 2 teams and each team has 11 players. The main purpose is that players try to keep their goal safe and kick the ball to the net of their opponents. Scores are recorded and the winner is the team having higher scores. It is also the most famous sport in Chile and all of my family members love this sport, especially my father and uncles. Thus, I had a chance to approach this sport since I was 5 years old. I really love learning it because of the drama and surprise in each match. From my perspective, it is really difficult to learn to play soccer well. A player needs to be very strong to compete with others, and be skillful in ball controlling, heading as well as having team spirit. A good football player needs to devote their free time to practice, so I hope to have the time to practice it one day.

What about you? What sport would you like to practice?
