Activity N 07: Forum
Write about your experiences of doing sport at school.

Hello!
When I was at school I loved doing volleyball. We trained every Friday afternoon two or
three hours. It was very tiring. My sport teacher was very disciplined and strict. Her
name was Roco.
She made us to do a lot of warm up exercises before starting to play.
I played for my school team and we won prizes in some competitions with other
schools.
