Karate is my favorite sport

My favourite sport is karate, which is one of the Oriental martial arts. Karate is a popular sport in the world because it improves self-confidence and self-discipline, memory and attention. Besides, karate teaches us self-defence, respect, self-control and patience.

I started practising karate when I was eight. Since that time I have been training twice a week in our local sports centre. The lessons are physically hard but I enjoy them. Our sensei teaches us patiently and inspires us to become better people. I have already participated in a few competitions.

I am glad that I chose karate because it gives me so much: I have become more patient and physically stronger.

Hello my dear friend Anna! Well, that was autumn. This time of year we love. You must be glad the weather is good, which is on the court. Very nice to stroll along the golden carpet of fallen leaves, breathing in the fresh and cool air. More recently, I have seen a picture that made ​​me a lasting vpechatlenie.Ona called "Summer Garden in autumn"
My dear friend! I would like to see you, too, saw this picture. Waiting for a letter from you. Your friend Rita.

Здравствуй моя дорогая подруга Аня! Ну, вот и наступила осень. Это время года мы очень любим. Ты, наверное, рада хорошей погоде ,которая стоит на дворе. Очень приятно прогуляться по золотому ковру из опавших листьев, вдыхая свежий и прохладный воздух. Совсем недавно мне довелось увидеть картину, которая произвела на меня неизгладимое впечатление.Она называется «Летний сад осенью»
Дорогая моя подруга! Мне бы хотелось, чтобы ты тоже увидела эту картину. Жду от тебя письма. Твоя подруга Рита.
