Speaker one.

I used to cycle when I was younger and often went on holiday on my bike. It's not the fastest way of moving, but it is very useful and healthy. Then I took up cycling seriously, became a professional sportsman and won many competitions, but I don't ride a bike anymore.

Speaker two.

Many people run for fun. Some run with their friends, families, or in teams. They just enjoy running. My cousin Tom and I are professional runners. Tom is especially good at running. He takes part in many university competitions.

Speaker three.

Though man has probably always known how to swim, the first people to take swimming seriously were the Japanese. Schools in Japan began to have competitions in the sport many centuries ago. Europeans began to develop swimming much later. For example, the English started doing it only at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Speaker four.

Ice hockey is my favorite game. Some people say it's a dangerous sport. I don't think so. But I'm sure this team game is only for brave and strong men, who can skate fast and well.

Speaker five.

Car racing began in Europe in eighteen ninety-four. Since that time, this sport has been popular all over the world. I've never driven a car, but I like this sport very much. I am fond of watching Formula one car competitions.
