Popular sports at school, �among our classmates

The most popular sport in our class is football and volleyball. 18 per cent of pupils prefer hockey. The least popular sport is athletics. Only 10 of pupils like it.

36 % are for watching sport.

64 % are for participating

Sport helps us to stay in a good shape, to build character.

It teachers to win and to lose.

It makes us stronger, and more disciplined and organized.

In my opinion sport teaches about life. It helps to work off extra energy. It makes men out of boys. Besides it’ s a good way to meet different people and make new friends.

​

​

I can’t agree that sport is useful. It causes a lot of injures and takes a lot of times and energy.
