At the same time a great number of people don't go in for sports. Some of them realize that sport is useful but prefer watching sport on TV to going in for it themselves.

But in our school there are real lovers of sports. Our sportsmen take first places in some competitions held in the town and in the region. Sometimes our school organizes very interesting sport festivals.

So, at the lesson we shall speak about sport activities.

He also cycles to school every day except Sunday. On Sunday afternoon, he does his favorite sport - sleeping!

VI. Speaking.

-Teacher: And now we speak about sport in Ukraine.

--S.1 --Ukrainian children start to go in for sports since their early childhood. Like children in other countries we are fond of running, jumping, skipping, and playing snowballs. When we grew up our sport activities became more serious. Now we attend sport clubs or go to sport centers if we are interested in staying healthy.

--S.2 --In my opinion many Ukrainian people are fond of sports. Sport plays an important role in our lives. We know many Ukrainian athletes who win in European and world championships. Our figure skaters are the best. They take a lot of cups and medals in different competitions. Who doesn't know Ukrainian skiers! We are proud of them!

--S.3 --So, sport helps us to stay in good shape, to build character. It teaches us to win and to lose. Besides, it is a good way to meet different people and make new friends.

--S.4 --As for me, I want to tell you about sports in our school. You know we pay great attention to sports in the school. We have PE twice a week and we enjoy our lessons very much. The lessons are held in the gym and in the sports ground. At the lessons we run, jump and play sport games. From time to time in the school competitions and sport festivals take place. We are crazy about volleyball and basketball.

-Teacher: Who wants to tell us about your favorite kind of sports?

--S.1 -- I like swimming. I started to learn when I was about seven years old. I think that swimming is something like music or language. That is why very good to start as early as possible if you want to be good at it. I visit swimming pool every week. Swimming helps me to stay in good shape.

--S.2 -- In my opinion the best sport is tennis. In fact I play table tennis. My father has taught me this game. And now I play it every day. I'm so glad that tennis is so popular in the lyceum. During the breaks or after the lessons there are many students waiting their turn to play tennis. It is good for my health and body. Tennis also helps me to relax after my working day.

--S.3-- I go in for jogging. Every morning I run about a kilometer. And after it I am not tired at all. Jogging keeps me fit the rest of the day. All I need for these exercises are shorts, a vest and trackers. I run all year round in any weather.

--S.4 --As for me I do not like sports. It takes a lot of energy and time. As a result of going in for sports, people can have broken legs and arms. It makes you unhappy when you lose. So I prefer to watch sport competitions than participate in them.

VII. Song.

Teacher: Sing a song about sport.

Sports for everybody

I go out cycling every day,
I get strong and hart that way,
And I play football at weekends,
With all my other healthy friends.
We like to run and swim and walk
Let's move around, no time to talk!
So we enjoy sport anyway,
We love to do sport every day.

Chorus

Yes there are sports for everybody.
You don't have to stay in and watch television.
Choose a healthy hobby.
The fun never ends when you play with your friends.
With your friends,
When you play with your friends.
If the weather is OK,
We can go fishing all the day.
We can jog around the park,
It's very good for the heart.
Yes, we like to swim and run and walk,
Let's move around, no time to talk!
So we enjoy sport anyway,
We love to do sport every day.
