Speaking and Listening

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">I think everyone should do swimming one time or even two times a week because it makes you fit, strong and healthy. If you do swimming it makes you fit for life. You can get strong by doing freestyle and butterfly. It makes your legs and arms move when you do butterfly, backstroke, freestyle and breastroke. Do you know ? That peanuts are a source of energy for swimmers. Swimming strengthens the heart and lungs. Swimming loosens your muscles and makes them better. Swimming is one activity that is refreshing to both body and mind. Swimming helps to burn calories, lose weight, relax the body and refresh the mind. Swimming presents countless health benefits to those use it to exercise. Swimming is a very effective physical exercise.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">Another reason why swimming is a good sport to do is that swimming is a really good family sport because your family can get fit, healthy and strong together. Also family's can go have some fun by going and hopping in the pool and swimming. They can do some swimming then after they can have some fun and when. You should learn how to swim because New Zealand is surrounded with lots of water. Do you know that 65 thousand family's in America do not know how to swim and they have never got in a pool before. Swimming is a good sport for your family because it makes you lose weight.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">I believe that swimming is a fun and cool sport because you can go and race against other people and you can also do carnivals and get medals and trophies if you come first, second or third. You can then start training on more days. You can do two times or three times a week if you are good like all the famous swimmers like Dawn Fraser, Johnny Tarzan, Jennifer Beth and lots more because they swim 7 times a week. Do you know that swimming started in the first century and swimming has been part of the Olympics since 1896 and do you also know that swimming strokes have been invented everywhere including North America, Australia and Germany.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">Like I said swimming is a really good sport to do because it makes you fit, healthy,strong and you get to lose weight it is also a really good family sport and it is a fun sport that's why you should do swimming one time or two times a week. I think swimming is fun, cool, exciting and awesome.
