All over the world millions of people take part in different kinds of sports.Sports are perhaps the most popular form of relaxation that almost all can enjoy.
　　Some people seem to think that sports and games are unimportant things that people do at times when they are not working.But in fact sports and games can be of great value,especially to people who work with their brains most of the day.They should not be treated only as ammusements.
　　Sports and games build our bodies,prevent us from getting too fat,and keep us healthy.They also give us valuable practice in helping the eyes,brain and muscles to work together.In table tennis,the eyes see the ball coming,judge its speed and direction,and pass the information on to the brain.The brain has to decide what to do and sends its orders to the muscles of the arms legs and so on,so that the bah is met and hit back where the player wants it to do.All this must happen with very great speed,and only those who have had a lot of practice can do this successfully.
　　Sports and games are also very useful for character-training.In their lessons,boys and girls may learn about such virrues as unselfishness courage disciple and love of one's country,but what is learned in books can not have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned through practice.Most of students' time is spent in classes,studying lessons.So what the students do in their spare time is of great importance.If each of them learns to go all out for his team and not for himself on the sports field,he will later find it natural to work for the good of society,for the good of his country.
