Iwasalittlebitfat,alwaystiredandnotveryfitsoIwantedtodosomesport.

My only problem was that I didn’t know what to do. I’ve got an old bicycle but I

didn’t enjoy cycling because there are a lot of cars on the roads. It’s dangerous!

My parents told me to wear a helmet but my helmet was too big for me. Then

I started going to the gym. That was boring! I didn’t know anybody there. So I

decided to take up swimming. I didn’t like that very much. I swam up and down

with nobody to talk to. The water hurt my eyes, the pool was crowded and the

swimming pool was a long way from my house.

Then a friend asked me to join their volleyball club. I played at school a few times

and I enjoyed it. I wasn’t very good at it but I knew some of the rules so I decided to

join. I started a month ago. We train at the local sports centre. We practise every

Monday and Wednesday and then on Saturday or Sunday we have a match. On

the practice days we do a lot of exercises so I am losing weight and getting very

fit.ThereareaboutsixteenofussowehavetwoteamsandInowhavelotsof

All the best,
