SPORT IN MY LIFE
Let me introduce myself. My first name is.... My surname is.... I was born in St. Petersburg (Moscow, Kursk) on the 2 nd of May, 1983.
Now I'm a first-year student of the Lesgaft State University of Physical Education. So I want to devote my life to sport.
You know, sport is probably as old as the humanity itself. It has been developing with the developing and growth of the mankind. To my mind we can hardly overestimate the meaning of sport in our life and day-to-day activities, because its main purpose is to bring up the harmoniously developed generation – the generation of strong and healthy people. Sport makes our bodies strong, quickens our reaction, and shapes the wits. It also prevents us from getting too fat, gives us so valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together and makes us more self-organized and better disciplined.
I'm absolutely sure that doing sports is the best way to keep fit. There is always a kind of sport which will suit you and there are many different kinds to choose from. If you like team games, try hockey, football, volleyball or basketball. Games for you to play with a friend include badminton, squash and tennis, and if you enjoy doing things on your own, you may take up swimming, riding, golf or athletics.
I'm sure you know an axiom: «Sport makes people healthy». No doubt, that's true, but frankly speaking one knows that there are some kinds of sport which you cannot go in for if you are not healthy enough. Say, body-building. If you have heart decease or other sickness, attending the body-building trainings will bring you nothing but harm. And also, going in for sport is always connected with a great risk, because any athlete can get an injury. And we know many examples, when an athlete got trauma at the beginning of his sports career and in the prime of his life had to leave professional sport. But it doesn't mean at all that people shouldn't go in for sports. I only want to say that they should be careful and remember that the health is given to a human being only once, so, do your best not to lose it.
As for me, my life is also closely connected with everything related a healthy lifestyle. My favourite sport (kind of sport) is.... I have been doing it for 10 years but the more I train, the more I like it. ). It needs mobility, liveliness and much energy. I get a real joy taking part in competitions (or simply playing (training) with my friends). I'm a Candidate of Master of Sports. My coach's name is.... He is a Merited Master of Sports and a Master of Sports of International Level. I train 6 times a week in the stadium or in the gym.
In summer I like playing football (volleyball, basketball, badminton). Tennis is also one of my favourite sports. In winter I usually practice skiing and skating. I am a great figure skating fan. I also like to watch sports competitions on TV.
Sometimes I am engaged in shaping (boxing, aerobics, bodybuilding) and I always enjoy riding a bike and going to the swimming pool. I'm fond of swimming.
I participated in district (city, zone, All-Russian, International) competitions, European and World Tournaments (championships) and some other events. Sometimes I won the titles (I have never won the titles).
After graduating from the Lesgaft State University I am going to become a coach or a physical education teacher.

OUR TRAINING
I study at the Faculty of Physical Education. The students of our faculty take up different kinds of sports.They train in different places: gymnasts – in the gymnasium, basketball, volleyball and handball players – on the indoor and outdoor sports grounds or in sports halls, tennis players – on the tennis courts. track-and-field athletes usually train on the stadiums in the open air.
Three times a week we have special training lessons. As a rule, each training lasts about 3 hours. Every training session begins with a warming-up period which lasts about 20 minutes. It consists of slow running for about a half mile, then fast running for about a quarter mile. Next, the sportsmen do a few exercises which depend on their event. After the warming-up we rest for about 5 minutes before we start practising. The warm-up of the body is very important. It helps to prevent pulled muscles. We train according to the trainer's instructions. The coach enjoys athletes perfecting their skills. He or she pays great attention to mastering technique, tactics and the main elements of sports. Sometimes we train with a team or a partner. We perform different exercises and get ready for contests.
