1. I think exercise is so important to good

health. There is a really good sports club

,near my school. During the week, I play

tennis there for an hour before school starts.

On weekends, I usually work out at the gym

near my house for a few hours. I also play

baseball with some friends from school.It's

so much fun!

2.

I don't like jogging or doing anything too

energetic. I prefer taking walks. I like to

take a short walk every day through the park

across from my house. Sometimes my

boyfriend goes with me. It's nice to talk and

look at the flowers and trees. On Sunday, I

like to swim, but for only about a half hour.

I sleep the rest of the weekend

3.

I am a big football fan, but I only watch it

on TV. I can't stand playing it! There are

great games to watch on the weekend. I also

enjoy watching tennis. I'd like to learn

someday, but I don't like to sweat. I love

chess and often play with my younger sister.

She's really good at it and usually wins. On

the weekends, I love to play video games

with some of my friends

sports. Let's see .... I like swimming a lot.

group of friends from work every Tuesday night. And I've also started playi
