one. They also collected
information about the history
of the sport, how it started,
who started it and how it is
played. After they collected
the necessary information,
they were asked to write

History
• Taekwondo is a martial art. It started in 1955.
• In the early 1960s, taekwondo became popular in
various countries.
• Since 2000, taekwondo has been one of only two Asian
martial arts (the other being Judo) that are included
in the Olympic Games.
• In 2010, taekwondo was accepted as a Commonwealth
Games sport.
Me and taekwondo
• I started to do taekwondo when
I was 3 years old. I do it 2 or 3
times a week in a sport center in
Melissia.
• I like it very much because it
combines combat and selfdefense techniques with sport
and exercise.
• I am very good at it and I have
already got “black belt” and one
DAN.
Me and taekwondo (cont.)
• I have taken part in some
competitions and from now on I
will take part in more.
• I would like to get at least 5
DAN as my instructor. This is
very difficult but I will do my
best!

I’m presenting a project about BASKETBALL my favourite sport!
James Naismith started basketball on 11 March 1892
I play basketball in an academy, named BAC. I practice 5 times a week and
we also play games against other teams. I also play basketball in my free
time. I really enjoy this game. The team always has 5 players and there are
also other players on the bench. The game always starts with a jump ball, and
the team is trying to score in the other team’s basket. The game lasts 4
periods, 10 minutes each. If one player makes 5 fouls, the player is leaving
the game.
Basketball is good for you, because it keeps you fit and healthy. Also you
make friends and have fun.

My favourite sport is basketball. Basketball is a really
interesting hobby.
In 1981, Professor J. Naismith was looking to find a team
game that attracted the interest of his students. The first
race in Europe took place in 1983 between the teams of the
National French and American University YUCA. In 1896 the
first professional basketball game was in New Jersey.
I play basketball every weekend and Friday with my
friends. We are 2 teams . Each team must put the ball in the
basket against another. Each shot counts as 2 points.
Basketball is really good for us , because you can be active
and you can have fun.
My favourite sport
by Oikonomou Filippos St4
My favorite sport is football.
Football was invented in England in 19th century. I play football every day
because I am an amateur player in a football club. The rules of the game are
many, few of those are: when you are a goalkeeper you can catch the ball with
your hands inside a particular area.
But if you are not a goalkeeper you can’t catch the ball anywhere. You kick the
ball to get in the goalpost in order to score and your team takes one point and the
team that ends with the higher score wins the game.
Football is very good for the players because it improves their health and if you
are a professional player you become cleverer and you build a very healthy body.
BASKETBALL
•
My favourite sport is BASKETBALL
JAMES NAISMITH discovered basketball on March 11. 1891.
•
There are two teams of nine players. Each team must shout the ball at the basket
to the opposing team. The winner is the team which has the most points.
•
I play basketball in my garden. I have a big basket on the wall. Sometimes, I play
with my friends at their homes. One of my friends plays basketball with a
professional team. He is really good. Sometimes I play with my dog too. He brings
me the ball. All of these happen, when I have finished my lessons.
•
This sport, helps us feel healthy, meet other people, we can exercise our body.

That is basketball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
