The sport of basketball is fun for any person: young or old. Basketball is a great way of exercise, a great way to have fun with friends and make some new ones. I love watching and playing basketball. I think to play basketball is better than to play video games or watching television.
I love basketball because you can play the game with or without friends. I prefer to play in teams. One more thing I love basketball is that there are many different styles of play. The players can pass, throw or jump high very well. When I have the ball, I feel the best and no one can stop me. I love to play basketball but I also love watching it.
To me basketball is the best sport of all other sports like baseball and football. I like to watch basketball on television because you can see how well famous sportsmen play basketball. I watch their moves and then I try to use them in my play. My favourite basketball player is Kobe Bryant. He makes basketball as a game for little children.
He is 30 years old and he is one of the best athletes in the world. He is a big model to many children who enjoy playing this sport. He knows how to play and win. I want to play like Kobe Bryant.
I think I am playing better and better every time I play basketball. Basketball is my favourite sport.

Dance is more than just a sport. Dance is something where you work hard, something you put all of your free time. Dance is a sport that you never want to stop. You need to dance until the end, until you become the best dancer. In order to be the best dancer, you need to practise during your free time at home.
The most exciting part of dance is the competitions, where you show your dance in front of hundreds of people.
Before the performance you should be sure that your hair and costume looks wonderful. When your dance costume is ready, it is time to practise your dance before you go out on the floor.
When we hear “Now dancing is the C. F. Bomber Dance Team!”, we come out onto the middle of the floor. When the music starts, then you need to begin your dance. It is time to show the world what you have learned about dancing over the years.
The people clap hands to me and my team when the music ends. All the dancers from towns all over Minnesota go to the gym to see the best three teams. Finally, a man stands up and says: “The school that came in second place is ... the Bombers!!!” Every dancer
from my school is jumping and crying. We got second place at the very first competition!
Then it is time to visit your family and friends that came to see you. Sometimes it is fun especially when they bring you gifts such as flowers, shirts, ice cream etc. Then we go home with our families.
Dance is my most favourite sport. It is the one thing I love very much, and I love my friends-dancers. I am waiting next November when my favourite hobby and sport will start again.
