A sporting life

Hi everyone!
Today we have to write about a sporting life, my life jaja.
I've always done a lot of sport, because I like it and is healthy.
I can do any sport, but I practice basketball and the benefits are infinites for my mind, my body and of course for the society, because a person who do sport, is a person who doesn't consume drugs or alcohol. And sports reduces the population of overweight.
The promotion of the sports is the most difficult because people don't have time or don't have motivation for run, move or anything.
But if I have to encourage people to do sports, I'd do more funny activities, not just run or things like that.
I think that the genetic factor is important in the countries, for example, people from Jamaica runs more fast, people from Brazil plays better soccer, etc.
BUT! the sport policies are important too. Chile has stupid people in charge of sports, so we lost in the international competitions.
We are centralists. The good players or athletes are playing in all this country, not just in Santiago. In other cities, the goverment doesn't give money to develope the sport.
Creating more great athletes, is to create idols for the kids want to do more sport, which is good for the country and do more physical activity, lower obesity rates.

Holiday destination

Hi!
Well, I'm gonna write about my holidays.
Last year, I made good friends in Argentina (since when I went there to play basketball), so in the summer, my father gave me a gift (the reason was that I was going to study at Universidad de Chile), I WOULD GO TO ARGENTINA! Of course, to visit my friends and also share with my family.
That summer was the best. I met many places and a lot of people, went to parties, ate different kinds of food, etc.
This holidays I want to be in peace in my house in Puerto Montt, go out with my friends, go to parties, work to make some money and maybe I will go to another city here in Chile or in another country with my family.
The only sure thing is that I want to rest a lot, because this year have been so hard.
But, if you ask me to which place I want to go? I think that Brazil. To a beach with a lot of nice people, where I can dance, eat and drink things from other culture.
Or maybe go to another city in the tango's country, Argentina, because I love that country.
And if we have to choose a city from Chile. I choose La Serena or "Iquique Glorioso". But I want a place with beaches and maybe invite a friend because I don't want to go just with my parents, some times is a little boring.

My hobbies



Hi everyone again!
Well, in the first term, I told you about one of my hobbies: the basketball.
I play this sport since I was 5 years because my best friend invited to me to play. I started to play and I realize that I was very good so I keep in the team. And, of course, I had to "choose" one position. This depends of my skills. Like I move fast with my foot and with my head, I start to play like point guard (or "1"). This player, control the game, says the plays, supports the team, so I developed my personality in and out the court.
Also, this sports like other, helps to make friends and good relationships. I found very good people and with they, I grew up.
Following my history in this sport, I have to say that I won a lot of prizes, like best player in championship, in my city, in my school and most correct player. I played in many teams like Puerto Montt, Osorno, Castro, Maullin and I played in the Chilean's team in 2007. I travelled here, to Concepcion, Talcahuano, Calama, Iquique, Valparaiso, Viña del Mar, Punta Arenas, Chaiten, Coyahique, etc. So I can say to you that I visited all the places in my country playing basketball, even Argentina in 2007.
Of course, all my achievements are thanks to my parents, because they are always with me. If I had a game at 8 a.m. They woke up and went with me to all my games.

The last thing that I can say is, if you have the oportunity to do any sport, do it! Because they really help to developed your personality and make very good friends. They will be with you in good and bad moments. They will cry and laugh with you. And I won't forgot these moments.
