Elisa's paragraph

Sports are physical activities which stimulate our mind and develop/increase our skills by exercising our bodies. Sport is important to keep our bodies in shape and for a healthy living; by practising a sport regularly, people can strengthen their muscles, avoid cardio-vascular problems and keep general well-being. Playing a sport also means creating new challenges and competitions, which can be individual or they can involve a group of people, a team. In fact, playing a sport with other people helps you to interact and respect them. Sport is good also for our mind, since it helps us develop logic, and builds faster reactions; it presents an opportunity to share our interests with people and to respect rules, and through this it builds our personality and our character. Among the great varieties of sports, football is a team sport which is based not only on a great relationship (and harmony) among players, but also on the great enthusiasm shown by its supporters. In Italy, football is the most played -and the most followed - sport. Football is played at any age by men and women, and it never ends fascinating people. Its supporters can be considered a team when watching a match and it's amazing to see the gleams of 'football spirit' in their eyes, although sometimes they may take a defeat or they may feel the competition too personally; this often leads to aggressive behaviour in stadiums.
