There are various kinds of outdoor games. Cricket,
football, volleyball, hockey, lawn-tennis and badminton are the commonest forms
of outdoor games, and each man has his own choice. Some like football, others
volley-ball, while many others consider cricket to be the best. Well-to-do
people love to enjoy a game of polo. So everybody has his own favourite game
and mine is football. I must explain why I like foot ball more than any other
games.
Of course I am too poor to play polo; for it is a
very expensive game, fit only for the wealthy. Cricket is one of the best of
outdoor games; but it requires a lot of time. Cricket matches last for several
days. Hence it is fit for those who have plenty of leisure. As far as I am
concerned I prefer a game that is more active and exciting. Tennis, badminton
and volley-ball do not provide so much exercise as football.
The only rival of football is hockey. Both may be
regarded as almost equally exciting. Therefore it may be difficult to make a
choice between them. But I prefer football to hockey. There is noting more
interesting and exciting to me than to play or watch a good football match.
Football affords good physical exercise, in which
all the muscles and limbs are brought into play. Besides this, football helps
to form many good habits. It teaches the players the value and importance of
discipline, which is absolutely necessary in whatever sphere of life we may
happen to be. Moreover, as football is a game that depends upon harmonious
combination and co-operation, it promotes in the players a healthy feeling of
co-operation in all affairs: in fact, one can not be a good football player
unless he knows the value of discipline and co-operation.
Football is certainly a game of skill and so
football matches attract universal interest and affords amusement and
recreation to thousands of people. Hence I have a preference for football.
