My favourite sport is cheer dance. I like it because it's different and you are in top condition. Cheer dance
comes from America. You dance with pom pons. It is a team sport. The team
sticks together and it's connected. You wear sport uniform and you have to wear
dancing shoes.
I train cheer dance 5-6 times a week. Sometimes I also
have training on Saturdays. When I dance I feel relaxed and comfortable, I forget
everything that's bad around me. We always have competitions, and we're always
successful. This year we were seven times on the first place, and we are very
proud of that. We are state champions and in the European championship we were
in third place. I really like my friends that are in my dance group.
Good side of that dance is that you learn something
new, you are in a good shape and you are very active. I made a lot of new
friends. In dance you can achieve a lot. Bad side of that dance is that you can injure yourself.

Ballet is
the sport I like the best. I’ve liked to dance since I was a little girl. I
started to love ballet when I was four years old when I saw a ballet performance.
I liked it very much, specially ballerinas and their costumes called tutus.
I like ballet because I like to perform and I like to
see that also other people like what I do. I enjoy in ballet, because I can
express my feelings with dance. I do ballet when I’m sad and I do it when I’m
happy. Sometimes my dance can say more about my feelings than words. You must
work hard. You must to practice every day even if you have a pain in legs.
Ballet is very difficult because you need to be in good shape. You need to
spend lots of hours in ballet school and practice if you want to be good. It’s
not enough if you do ballet just technically good but you must to dance with
your soul not only with your feet.
When I dance I forget my problems and it is also good
exercise. I love to perform in big performances and applause at the end of
performance is the best award for my hard work.

My favourite sport is handball. I like it because it is very rough and because it is team
sport. It is indoor sport and non-seasonal. There are 6 players and one
goalkeeper. You and your team have to give as many goals as possible in sixty
minutes. There is not much equipment for handball. You need a ball, a dental
guard, a handball resin…
I train handball every day a week for one hour and a
half. Almost every weekend we have a game against another team from other parts
of Slovenia. Once or twice a year we go to a tournament in other countries like
Bosnia, Czech, Serbia, Austria…
Handball is very rough sport and also very difficult.
You have to run a lot and you must be strong. Handball helps you relax and
keeps you fit.
However, handball is dangerous sport and you can
easily hurt yourself or somebody hurts you. It is also very difficult to train
it.
All in all, I like handball very much and I play it
very well. I think it is an excellent way to exercise and relax. You have a lot
of fun with your friends.

My favourite sport is gymnastics. I like it very much, because I enjoy in it. Mostly it
is done indoor in a gym. It can be done individually or in a team. Practising
for competitions is always done with music. For doing it you need a ball, a
band and a hoop. I did it two years ago.
It is a fun sport if you do it in a team. If it is
done individually, it is a very calm sport. It's relaxing and enjoyable. It
keeps you also fit and healthy. You become very flexible and it gives you a
good training.
It can be dangerous if you do tough exercises and it hurts. You feel
very exhausted and tired. From a year to year it becomes harder too. It can be
expensive if you have to buy some new stuff for a competition.
In conclusion, I liked it very much. It is a girly
sport that I really enjoyed. I recommend it to every person that likes calm
sports and also wants to take an advantage off the free time that it has.

My favourite sport is volleyball. I like it because you have
to bounce the ball with your hands over the net. It is a team sport and it is
played indoors or outdoors. I don't train it but we often play it at school
during PE. To play you need a net and of course a volleyball. The objective of
this sport is to get the ball over the net with your hands, into the other
team's part of the court. The ball must land within the lines that mark the
court.
The
positive point of all sports is that they keep you healthy and fit. Volleyball
is good for hand-eye coordination. Getting the ball over the net requires some
degree of this skill. It is also good for learning how to cooperate with your
teammates.
However,
getting people together to form two teams can be a challenge. That’s why we
play it at our school. It is sometimes difficult to find a court to play
because not everyone has the volleyball net and enough space to set up the
court. Sometimes when you try to get the ball over the net, you fall. Most of
the time injuries aren’t severe, but they can be. For example if you get a ball
into your face, you will most likely need a doctor.
In
conclusion, I like volleyball but the thing is I am not very good at it. So I
practise and practise, because practise makes perfect.

My
favourite sport is basketball. I
like it because it's exciting and you are active when you play it. I also like
it because it's a team sport in which two teams compete on a rectangular
usually wooden floor. The objective of the game is to throw a basketball into a
basket of the opposite team. It's non
seasonal sport because it's played indoors and also outdoors. Basketball is a
school sport, we often play it at PE and I trained it when I younger.
Basketball
originally comes from USA but now it's played all over the world by women and
men. I also like
basketball because you don't need much to play, only a basketball, at least one
friend, a basket and trainers. Basketball
is a good exercise and it's easy to play but you have to be very focused on the
game and it's also tiring.
In
conclusion, I really like basketball because it's interesting and very fun
sport although you have to run a lot.
