my father told me about douglas mawson in my childhood. in the winter of the 1912, a small squad of polar explorers went to the research expedition to the far coast of antarctica. there were only 3 persons in the group: mawson, ninnis and mertz. on the way back, when there were only 500 km remained before the base, ninnis with the sledge, food and the tent fell into a deep crevice and died. mawson and mertz had to continue their trip together practically not having supplies of food. to survive, the explorers ate meat of sick dogs which traveled with them. that food became deathful for mertz, and after a while he died. having buried his friend, mawson continued his way alone. by that time, he suffered from abdominal pain, got serious frostbitten hands, legs and face, but despite everything, went ahead. when mawson was already close to reach the base, he fell into a crevasse in the ice. by some miracle, the geologist managed to find way out to the surface. after a few days, being ill and exhausted, he still could return to his camp.
Sport is very important in our life. The general belief is that a person who goes in for sports can’t be weak and ill. Physically inactive people get old earlier that those, who find time for sport activity. And of course good health is better than good medicine.
People all over the world are fond of sports and games. In our country sport is being widely popularized as well. The most popular kinds of sport are football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, figure-skating, aerobics, ping-pong and swimming. A lot of people are fond of jogging. In schools and colleges sport is a compulsory subject. Many young people attend sport sections. Some of them dream to become professional sportsmen.
As for me, I can’t imagine my life without sport. In summer I go jogging every morning and when I have free time I attend swimming pool. In winter I like to skate with my friends. It’s fun. Also I’m fond of aerobics. First of all aerobics helps to keep myself fit. It also attracts me because it resembles dancing.
In conclusion I’d like to say that I’m absolutely sure that doing sports is the best way to keep fit. Sport makes our bodies strong, it prevents us from getting too fat, and makes us more self-organized and better disciplined.
