Today, Americans watch more basketball (0) television than any
other sport. But it is popular in (1) countries too. People often
(2) it ‘the international game’ because it is played in almost
(3) country of the world. But basketball is not an old sport like football,
which people have played for centuries. People have only played basketball
(4) 1891.
The idea for basketball came from James Naismith, a Canadian teacher, who
wanted his students to learn (5) new kind of sport. Instead
(6) the players kicking the ball (7) they do in soccer, in
Naismith’s new game, players threw or bounced the ball. Then, they had to get
(8) into a big bag or ‘basket’. The name that Naismith chose for this new sport was ‘basketball’.

Начну с того, что в наше время мы не представляем себе жизнь без компьютера и мобильного телефона. 

С одной стороны, пользоваться мобильным телефоном очень удобно. Во-первых, это важно для безопасности, потому что родители могут связываться со своими детьми в любую минуту. Во-вторых, мобильный телефон это маленький компьютер у вас в руках. Вы можете звонить друзьям, отправлять сообщения, участвовать в чатах и много другое. 

Но с другой стороны, использование мобильного телефона очень вредно для здоровья детей и взрослых, поэтому пользование им должно быть ограничено. Кроме этого, учителя часто жалуются что телефон отвлекает студентов на уроках. 

В заключение хочу сказать, что я не против мобильного телефона вообще, но считаю, что пользоваться им нужно в пределах необходимости.

To begin with, nowadays  we cannot imagine our life without a computer and mobile phone. On the one hand, using a mobile phone is very comfortable. 
First, it is important for security, because parents can communicate with their children at any moment. 
Secondly, the mobile phone is a small computer in your hands. You can call friends, send messages, participate in chats and do much many useful thing. But on the other hand, the using a mobile phone is very harmful to health of children and adults, so its using should be limited. 
In addition, teachers often complain that phone distracts students in the classroom. The phones are very different in color and size, but the same form. They are made of different material, so they are expensive and not very expensive.  
In conclusion, I would like to say that I am not against mobile phone at all, but I think that they must be used only if they really need.

Sport plays an important role in my life. I like different kinds of sport. For example, in winter I always go to ski or to skate; in summer, I play different games such as football and volleyball and swim a lot. In autumn and spring  my friends and I usually ride bikes.

At school we have Physical Training classes three times a week. There we do different kinds of sport: run, jump, do some exercises, play games.  Also, I am a member of our school basketball team.

Sport is very important for me, because it helps me to be strong, fit and more organized. It's useful for my health, and I enjoy doing sports.
