although i am not tall , i keen on a wide variety of ballgames,especially football! Most oftenly , people feel so surprised whenever they know that i played football! Because i'm a quite gentle girl in the eyes of them!
indeed , i used to played football when i am in the age of 10 .after i have joined some football competitions , i gained lots of excitement and i've started to love it ! However , i've got no chances to play football when i 've promoted in to secondary school .So , i've played volleyball and badminton as an alternative!
all in all ,i like sports and i enjoy every P.E. lesson in school!

It's glad to see a girl active in sport.
I like sport very much,
as I think that it can train us lots of skill,
for instance organization, critical thinking, communication, etc.
Maybe I am not replying the topic.

Back to the question, I like all of sports,
I hope to try every sport in order to build up myself.

Basketball, badminton , running, swimming,
life-saving and war game are my most favorites.

However,
I didn't play sports for a long time as A-level.

In fact,
I don't know if I defined War Game as a sport is right or not.
I better define it be a outdoor activity.

Simply speaking,
it's a game of "hide and seek",
you should hide out and seek your enemy.
Before he shoot you down,
you should "kill" them first.

One of a benefit of sport is health body,
if we stoped it, doctor would come in front.

Do any of you know taekwondo?? It's a korein martial art game. It's really good. It gives self confidense and helps strenghing the body. I play it for nearly 3 years now.
Unfortunaltly not many people are aware of it.. Anyways i like sports as a whole but this is the sport i practise regularly. I also like jogging and gymnastics..
I'd love to know about sports you practise too.. Smile

Oh, Winnie, how are you?
Hope everything is going on well..
Well about this breaking of wood with legs ; honestly yes, it's included in the game. Here in Egypt (where i live) breaking wood and similar things like that are only done in shows. Actually i don't participate in those things.. i think only the national team. I play it matches wise you know.. championships and stuff. We were a supporting jacket, head guard, and arm supporting things to keep us safe. We hit using our foot in both stomach and face.
This is briefly what happens in matches.. i've got a championship after less than two weeks.. wish me good luck Wink

I like any sport but sport at I like very mush is football because I think the football is a good sport for people around the world. It can relax when you serious.I have new friend. It cause you have strong healthy and it very funny. I watch Premeir Leauge so my favorite football club is Liverpool. This team have many good member such as Deitmar Hamann , Steven Gerrard ,Sami Hyypia Etc. They have good basic skill but I think goalkeeper should change Jercy Dudek because he is young blood. However every team are good team so you should cheer every team

Winnie its really nice to hear from you too..
Actually i'm not an international champ or play in the national team.. i play with a team. I do enter championships..It's nice you know.
I honestly used to spend many time training and stuff but after going to collage time spent in trainings are limited.. That makes me sad though.
Now i'm facing hard time to return my fitness and so on for the coming championship on the first of February..
Hope i'd be ready on time!
Wish me good luck and thanx for your supportment.

Laila ,
About my a-level , it is a public examination which every form 7 students in secondary school should take it!(if you want to promoted into university!) However , i think we should get very good marks in order to promote into university!!

also , i think , under the economic recession now Hong Kong is suffering , most people are suffering from anxiety , worries and pressure!Is an uneasy live !

back to the exam , i need to take 5 subjects , including chinese , chinese literature , english , chinese history and liberal studies! indeed , the curriculum is too big! i need to cram numerous things , is so hard!so difficult! so...........!!!! Embarassed

indeed ,i know how you feel , study always occupy most of our time!!
but anyway , wish you good luck to your championships!!!

oh! time is so late now!!already 1:00am.
i need to go to bed !!!
talk next time!hear from you soon!
yours,
winnie
Very Happy

chi-kei · Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2003 7:06 pm Post subject: taekwondo

Yes,
martial art is a good kind of sport.
On the one hand,
it is good for our health.
On the other hand,
it can train us to defense ourselves.

Although I don't have any martial art training,
I am great interest on it.
I often borrow some related sourses from public library,
fot instant, Karate-do, taekwondo, Jeet Kune Do, etc.

However,
I prefer Tai Chi most,
Don't think it is just a slow-movig action,
we can train our spirit and body though it both.
