NAMES If, like me, you are called John Smith and you live in England, you have the same name 0)asthousands of other people. When I was a child, I thought that (1)in the world had a different name and I had a name of my (2), but as (3)as I went to school I realised that I was wrong because I found (4)were two other boys with my name. In fact, one of them became a close friend of (5) When I meet someone for (6)first time, they often think that they have met me before somewhere, but then they realise that in fact they are thinking of somebody (7)- another John Smith.

Having met people (10)all kinds of names, I have decided it is better to have a common name rather (11)a very unusual one.

I am fond of sports.  Sports make us stronger and healthier.  Many people do sports, so do I.  I like to swim in the swimming pool and in the sea in the summer.  I also like badminton and volleyball. Cycling is another favourite sport of mine. There are also mental sports, chess for example.  Chess games improve the work of our brain, so this game is very useful too. In winter I prefer skiing.  It is very good to ski in the fresh winter air.  But we must remember that any sport is good if you practise it regularly.
