Many students at my school love reading, and many others love playing sports. I am lucky because I enjoy both. Some of my classmates think reading is boring, but I think it is very interesting. Others say sports are too tiring, but I think they are a lot of fun. I like doing many different things, and my free time is always full.
I read books almost every day. I like English stories and science books, but I also enjoy comic books sometimes. When I find a good book, I do not want to put it down. I read a few pages before I sleep, or I finish my homework first and then read. Reading helps me learn new words, and it also helps me think better.
After school, I often play basketball with my friends. We practice together on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so we get better every week. The game is exciting, but it is also very tiring. I always drink a lot of water and take a short rest after practice. Sports keep my body strong, and they help me focus better in class the next day.
Some people say you have to choose between studying and playing, but I do not agree. Reading and sports are both important to me. When I feel tired of reading, I go outside and run or play basketball. When I feel too tired from sports, I sit down and read a quiet book. So these two activities make my life better and happier.
I think every student should try both reading and sports. You do not need a lot of money to start. Just borrow a book from the library, or find a friend and go play outside. A little reading and a little exercise can make you happier and stronger. So why not try both today?
