— It is one of the oldest and the most popular sports in the world, the Americans called it soccer. It is an exciting game for real men. There are 11 players in each team. They are big, fast and really strong. (Football)

— It is my favourite sport. It is an individual sport both for boys and girls. First it was popular only among the boys, but now more and more girls take part in it.

Some people say that it is a fight and it is not good for girls but I can’t agree with them. (Karate)
