People enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and to live longer. Many people like
to watch others play games. They buy tickets or sit in front of TV sets. Often they get very excited when
"their player or team" wins.
People play different games in winter and summer. Swimming is fun in warm weather, but skating is
good in winter.
Some sports are so interesting that most people like them. Football, for example (例如), is played
around the world. Swimming is very popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.
How fun it is to jump into a pool or a lake! And for people in cold countries, like Norway or Canada,
they like to skate or ski.
Some sports go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing(拳击), for
example, has a long history. But basketball and volleyball are very new. And new sports or games come
into the world almost all the time.
