My favourite event at the sportsmeet
My favourite event at the school sportsmeet is the running event. Running is good for humans in many different ways. It is a great way to get exercise and a great way to meet new people. It is very enjoyable and makes humans more social. You can do it at any time and it relieves stress though there can be too much competition which happens when there are many people competing for a prize. It is also one of the easiest ways to exercise.
Running can be fun. It is easy because you need no experience to run. I enjoy training for races during sportsmeets. I have got many prizes for winning the running event. People of all sizes, races and ages can run. Running has always been my favourite event. If you want to be healthy, run and stay strong. Everybody in my family says that I am very good at running. Running is my favourite event in my school sportsmeet.

My favourite holiday
Holidays are the enjoyable times that we spend with our friends, family etc. My favourite holiday is the summer holiday. The summer holiday is a special time that all children love.
During the summer holidays, the sun is very bright. It says good morning to all of us by transporting its light beams and rays throughout the world. During this holiday we can enjoy the time very joyfully.
I love the summer holiday because it comes in the middle of the year. We get three months of leave for this holiday. It is a very special leave. During this time I can travel to European, American and Australian countries. I can be free without stress. I can have a lovely time at the beach. I can spend my time very gladly with my family and friends. I love summer!

The importance of sports in the school curriculum
Have you ever wondered why children or adults do sports? Doing at least one sport is great for a child’s life. There are many different sports. The two main categories of sports are indoor sports and outdoor sports.
Football, cricket, badminton, tennis and athletics are considered as outdoor sports while chess, scrabble, indoor swimming are considered as indoor sports. Doing sports helps us in many different ways. It helps in physical as well as mental development. Playing sports has many advantages such as developing teamwork and leadership skills. Working as a team in group sports helps children develop communication and problem solving skills. As an individual, it can improve our concentration, agility, speed and flexibility. Children can also gain self-confidence and friendliness among each other.
It is said that kids who play sports are healthy and have better self-esteem compared to student who don’t. It is also said that children who play sports gain higher marks in their tests and exams and can concentrate better in their studies. Children who plays sports also has a lower probability of catching any disease as they have a stronger immune system.
In our school, most of the kids play sports, keeping them fit and active. Not only should you concentrate on your studies, but you should also pay more attention to sports. Compete in competitions or at least the sportsmeet because these are all one-time opportunities as a child. Therefore I believe that doing sports is important in the school curriculum.
