Everyone in our school loves sports. Every morning 1 we get up, we do morning exercises. After the second class we do exercises again. We only have 2 class twice a week, but we do physical training(锻炼) at five every afternoon. The most popular sport is basketball. The 3 enjoy playing it and many of the girls like it, too. 4 popular sport is football and in every class there are 5 football fans. Volleyball is often played when the 6 is fine. We have school teams in basketball, football and volleyball. Our teams often 7 friendship matches with teams from other schools. When there is a match, 8 of us go to watch it and cheer our side.

There are many kinds of ball games in the world, basketball, volleyball, football, baseball…In my opinion (观点), the most popular game is football. When the important matches begin, all the audience cheer for one side or the other. Football started in England. Now it's very popular in many countries, such as France, Germany, Italy and so on. It is surprising that very small kids in England know a lot about football. They can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. They can show you the photos of their favorite players. They can remember clearly the results (结果) of the most important matches. They can even expect (预料) which team will win or which team will lose. Can you believe it? However, in China, Chinese students work hard for higher grades and they have no time for sports. The schools should arrange (安排) some games and matches for their students. It's good for children it.you going to this Saturday?
