For many people a fovourite way of spending their free time is lying
on the beach, fishing, knitting, watching TV or reading. Others quickly
get bored with such passive entertainment and prefer more active ways of
spending their leisure hours. They go in for swimming, skiing, cycling
or jogging.
It's generally known that people who do physical exercises keep fit
and healthy. Sports and games can be of great value to people who work
with their brains; to people who lead a sedentary lifestyle. Moreover
taking up a sport has also many psychological benefits. Firstly, it
relieves the stresses of everyday life and secondly, it helps
individuals identify with a group and replace their loneliness with the
security of belonging.
Besides, practising a sport is very useful for character-training. It
helps young people to gain such virtues as discipline, perserverance
and courage. But sport is not only a popular pastime and contest of
human abilities but also a school of life. It's an excellent lesson of
winning and losing and is what life is. We lose and win. If you can
easily accept your losses, analyse their causes and go on working, next
time there is a chance for you to be a winner.
Certainly people in Poland practise sport not too often. They tend to
be plump and prefer passive participation in sports activities by
watching sport on TV. The favourite Polish sport is football. We can
also see football matches on stadiums but unfortunately it has become
dangerous because of football-hooligans, who go out to fight in the
streets with other fans as a pleasure.
Not all types of sports, however, are healthy and safe. Some of them
can even be deadly dangerous and extremely risky, hence they are often
called extreme sports.
The list of dangerous sports is quite long. They include boxing,
motor racing, ice diving, bungee jumping and many others. Extreme sports
can be very addictive. Once people have tried them, they never want to
stop. They are like a drug for the brave: dangerous but pleasant and
exciting.
Summing up, people all over the world are fond of sports
and games. Sport makes people healthy, keeps them fit, more organized
and better disciplined. Moreover, it unites people of different classes
and nationalities.
