1. I think exercise is so important to good
health. There is a really good sports club
,near my school. During the week, I play
tennis there for an hour before school starts.
On weekends, I usually work out at the gym
near my house for a few hours. I also play
baseball with some friends from school.It's
so much fun!
2.
I don't like jogging or doing anything too
energetic. I prefer taking walks. I like to
take a short walk every day through the park
across from my house. Sometimes my
boyfriend goes with me. It's nice to talk and
look at the flowers and trees. On Sunday, I
like to swim, but for only about a half hour.
I sleep the rest of the weekend
I am a big football fan, but I only watch it
on TV. I can't stand playing it! There are
great games to watch on the weekend. I also
enjoy watching tennis. I'd like to learn
someday, but I don't like to sweat. I love
chess and often play with my younger sister.
She's really good at it and usually wins. On
the weekends, I love to play video games
I just love to exercise! I like many different
sports. Let's see .... I like swimming a lot.
I get up very early, around 5 a.m, and
swim for two hours from Monday to Friday. I also enjoy basketball and play with a
group of friends from work every Tuesday night. And I've also started playi
