Opinions on Sports
John:
“In my opinion, sailing is a lot better than swimming. For one thing, it is more exciting. You can really get away from it all. I love being alone with the sea. Just me and the sea and the wind in my hair. People say that sailing can be dangerous but for me it is very relaxing and anyway, I’ve been sailing since I was ten.”
Mike:
“What I like best as a means of escaping from routine is playing tennis with friends. Playing doubles is generally noisy but fun. Our shouts can be heard from a distance. We are all pretty aggressive and have endless arguments about the score. The wonderful thing about tennis is that when you’re playing you can’t think of anything else. On the other hand, I really see red when I lose. ”
Monica:
“Jogging is the perfect way to release the tensions of work; it also helps me to keep fit. When I’m running, I seem to leave all my problems far behind and never worry. I’m lucky to live in an area with parks. These days it’s getting rather difficult to find a place to jog because of the traffic. At the beginning I found it hard to get up one hour earlier, but now I can say it’s worth the effort.”
