 Sports plays an important role in pupils' life. It helps us to be stronger and healthier. And it's a good chance to unite schoolmates playing team kinds of sports.                Our PE classes are dynamic and interesting. We have two classes of  it per week. Our teacher plans his classes using different tasks to complete individual exercises and team competitions. My favourite part of PE classes is playing the games. They develop many essential qualities: concentration of attention, quick reactions, coordination of moves.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I participate in various school sports competitions. Teachers organize pupils, we have trainings before competitions. Boys like playing football, girls prefer playing basketball. Friendship heps us to win and enjoy sports.
