"My favourite sport".
My favourite sport is football. I really like this sport because this game has a team spirit, team play and excitement. I really like to play football on weekends, in the evenings, together with the guys from the yard. I also like to watch football matches on TV. Two teams participate in this game. Each team has ten players. To win one team, you need to score ten goals against the other team. Football is played exclusively with the feet. This game has its own safety rules, such as: do not push, do not pull the opponent's jacket, and others. This game is interesting because there is a team game, and each team fights for victory.
"Мой любимый вид спорта".
Мой любимый вид спорта - это футбол. Этот вид спорта мне очень нравится тем, что в этой игре есть командный дух, командная игра и азарт. Мне очень нравится играть в футбол на выходных, по вечерам, вместе с ребятами со двора. Также я люблю смотреть футбольные матчи по телевизору. В этой игре участвуют две команды. В каждой команде по десять игроков. Что бы победить одной команде, нужно забить десять голов в ворота другой команды. В футбол играют исключительно ногами. В этой игре есть свои правила техники безопасности, такие как: не толкаться, не дёргать противника за кофту и другие. Эта игра интересна тем, что тут присутствует командная игра, и каждая команда борется за победу.
