Physical Activity

Holiday is a wonderful time. We can relax. We can sleep for a long time, watch TV all day or play computer games without having meals. Just stay at home. However I think that is not very good for our health. So I think doing sports is good for our health. It is better than staying at home all day. This holiday I did sports instead of watching TV, playing computer games.

I like playing basketball. It is a good sport. When I was young, my father taught me how to play basketball. My father can play basketball very well. When he was young he was a member of his high school's basketball team. When I was in Grade 7, I became a member of my middle school's basketball team. I love basketball. It is a part of my life.

This winter I also played basketball. I often played with my father and his high school's teammates. They played well. My dad told their team was the No.3 in Nanjing. I like playing with them. Playing with them is different from playing with classmates. I can improve myself by playing basketball with them. I can learn a lot of things by playing with them. They often use tactics, I can learn more about it. Basketball takes five. They had much experience in playing basketball. I am very young. Sometimes I can not deal with the ball very well. But they are experienced, they are seldom in a flurry. Although I am a child, I am younger than them, I am not very weak. Also they can not look down on me. I can block, three-point shot, rebound, assist etc.

This winter I also played basketball with my friends. We did not use much tactics. We had a lot of fun in playing basketball. Sometimes we played and chat with each other at the same time. I often make many new friends by playing basketball. Sometimes we can create some new actions while we playing basketball. Some look very cool. My friends and I had a match this holiday. The friends who played with me were my teammates in my middle school's basketball team. They played very well. We were divided by two teams. Each team had five people. We played forty minutes. At last, my team won the match. Everyone was very tired, but we were very happy. Although the other team lost, they were happy too. Now we are in different schools, we do not have many chances to play basketball with each other. Basketball makes us to be brothers.

I play basketball not just for fun. It also can make me healthier. Winter does not like summer, it is cold. So I do not want to move. I often become fatter during winter holiday. This holiday I do not want to be fatter. Playing basketball is a good way to reduce weight. I also learn what team spirit is by playing basketball, because it takes five. I love basketball, I love sport.
