 Sports in Our Country

Sports are flourishing in our country now. Table tennis is the most popular sport. School children start playing it when they are very young. Not only is it played in school but it is also a favorite game for workers and people in other walks of life. In fact, it has become a sort of national game. There are other favorite sports. For example, badminton is another popular sport, though it is not played as widely as table tennis. A number of Chinese traditional sports such as Taijiquan, Wushu, Sword　play and Qigong, are no less popular. Mention should be made of such ball games as football, basketball and volleyball.

In order to keep fit and win honor for our motherland, men and women, young and old, take an active part in sports. And our government takes effective measures to promote physical culture and build up our people's health. More and more people go in for sports because sports can help them to build up a healthy body, to train a strong character and to raise the position of the nation in the world.
