will play on the play court. We run and sweat. By practicing, we perfect our skills. In addition, we even become strong in personality. We cooperate well with each other. Last year we got championship title in the campus competitions.
Example 2
I am a football fan. Whenever there is a football match, I will always be a spectator and I also play it in my spare time. Playing football makes me fell excited and when you run on the playground, and compete with other, you feel a real stimulation. We try to win the game, and we develop an idea to be the beat. I like it.
Example 3
Game should provide a way to bond friendships and to relax. After all, not everybody can win. If I made two or three good moves or a partial victory during the course of a game, it was enough for me. One of the strengths of sport, and particularly of team games, is that the playing field can cultivate teamwork and a sense of belonging to a group. There is an English expression that says that the British Empire was built “on the playing-field of Eton”.
Example 4
Sports provide people with both exercise and enjoyment. They are also a source of entertainment. Different people like different sports. Some people choose a sport for the type of exercise it offers. For instance, weight-lifting requires a lot of strength, while gymnastics requires graceful coordination. Others choose a sport for the type of participate with team members, while running tends to be an individual sport where you do not participate with a team. As for those who choose not to participate in a sport, they may well enjoy it as spectators.

When we feel sad, music can cheer us up. When we are exhausted, music can make us energetic. Music can also help us work faster and with pore energy. In a word, life without music is impossible. We cannot live in a world without any music. Example 3
