Говорение. Задание 3. Task 3. You are going to give a talk about sports in Russia (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Вариант 1

In modern Russia, there are a lot of popular kinds of sport: basketball, volleyball, archery, etc. But the most widely played game is football. You can see children playing it almost everywhere. I think that football gained in popularity in our country after we hosted the World Cup in 2018.

From a great variety of sports, people choose the one or ones that they are most interested in. Such choice is usually made based on people's personal preferences, their state of health and financial status. As for me, I prefer football, because I need no special equipment to enjoy this game. I can say that football is my hobby.

In this hobby I am inspired by such outstanding Soviet and Russian sportsmen as Lev Yashin, Igor Akinfeev, Sergei Ignashevich, and others. These sportsmen have given a lot to sport in general and football in particular.

They are true role models for the young generation.

I think that sport is an important part of our life, but we should do it carefully in order to improve our physical and mental health and not to destroy it.

I am going to give a talk about sports in Russia. From my own observations, I can say that at present the most popular sports in Russia are football, basketball, volleyball, skiing, and swimming. Moreover, some of my relatives and friends are interested in chess, archery, and even wakeboarding.

People's tastes in sport differ a lot. Some people prefer quiet kinds of sport that give a chance to relax and have a good time with friends – for example, table tennis or chess. Others choose extreme sports that require much strength and are dangerous – for example, car races or skydiving.

As for me, I am not much of a sports fan, but I know a lot of outstanding Russian sportsmen nevertheless. Just to name a few, I know football player Igor Akinfeev, hockey player Alexander Ovechkin, MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, tennis player Maria Sharapova, Formula 1 racer Daniil Kvyat. All of them are great sportsmen who inspire people and make them believe that nothing is impossible.

In conclusion, I want to say that sport is a very important part of our life. Sport makes us healthier – both physically and mentally. But when doing sport we should be very careful, because overestimation of our own abilities can lead to injuries.
