3. Sports

For many people, sports are just a daily or weekly entertainment. But for

those who love sports like me, they can dedicate themselves to sports. The great

thing about sports is that the more we train, the better our level of fitness and

better movement performance we will have. Of course, we all remember one of

those acrobatic moves that we weren’t good at, but after a short period of

training, we were able to perform it perfectly. This is what makes sport great.
