Phil Cooper: Sport is very important for me. I spend two hours every day in the gym. I am in the school rugby team. I like taking part in different competitions. Rugby competitions have been held in our school for 20 years. I like it when our team wins but, unfortunately, you cannot always win. I think sport helps me a lot in everyday life. It teaches me to be confident and accurate. Besides, I became stronger, faster and more patient. My father says that rugby makes men out of boys. One more thing sport gives you is an opportunity to see other countries. However, for that you must be a good sportsman.

Mrs Swan: I can’t say sport is very useful for teens. Children who do a lot of sport often have no time for all the things teens like, such as meeting friends, walking and so on. Sport needs hard work and it is very competitive. Because of this some children may become nervous and unhappy. More than that, children often get broken legs and arms and other injuries. There is no good in sport, it is necessary only to be active and to keep fit. And for it there are PE lessons at all schools.

Megan Ryder: I’d rather watch sports competitions. I can’t stand those silly fun races at school. Being a good sportsman isn’t necessary for everyone. Many people simply like to support their favourite teams or athletes. What are the competitions for? Since early times they have been held to entertain people. And if everybody takes part in the competitions, then who will have fun? And I think that it is much better to watch sports programmes on TV. You needn’t go to a cold wet stadium and buy tickets. You can sit in a comfortable armchair and enjoy yourself.
