My favorite sport - it's ice skating. I love it for many reasons. Ice skating is available in winter, on ice. And in the summer, in special stadiums. Skating fun. You can have fun spinning on the ice, laughing. A lot of people come in the winter for ice skating. They can learn and start making friends. And when skating, not cold. It would seem that the winter is very cold season. But in the company of new friends, it's all the same. At this time you lace together with other friends. And I want to say that skating - the best sport. With it you can have fun, laugh, make new friends. I advise everyone to this sport. Перевод:Мой самый любимый вид спорта - это катание на коньках. Люблю я его по многим причинам. Кататься на коньках можно и зимой, на льду. И летом, на специальных стадионах. Кататься на коньках очень весело. Можно весело кружится по льду, смеясь. Множество людей приходят зимой покататься на коньках. С ними можно познакомиться, и начать дружить. И когда катаешься на коньках, совсем не холодно. Казалось бы, зима очень холодное время года. Но в компании новых друзей, это всё равно. В это время ты кружишься вместе с другими знакомыми. Я хочу сказать, что катание на коньках - самый лучший вид спорта. С ним можно веселиться, смеяться, заводить новых друзей. Я всем советую этот вид спорта.
