Complete the gaps with the correct form of the word in capital letters. Last week, I went to a brilliant sports Відповідь  (COMPETE). We saw some exciting events. We watched Відповідь   (CYCLE) on their bikes in a 10km cycling race around the sports track and some Відповідь  (SWIM) in a race in the pool. One woman won four gold medals, which was amazing. There was also an exciting football competition. In the quarter final, one Відповідь  (PLAY) got a red card. He had to leave the game. There was a big Відповідь  (RIVAL) between the teams till the end of the match. I love watching Відповідь   (PROFESSION) sports.

My Hobby
I have several hobbies, but my favourite one is judo, which is a modern Japanese martial art. "Judo" means "gentle way". It is a popular sport in the world because it improves self-confidence and self-discipline, memory and attention. Besides, judo teaches us self-defence, respect and patience.
I started doing judo a few years ago. I have been training twice a week in our local sports centre. We wear a white uniform called a judogi. The lessons are physically hard but I enjoy them. Our sensei teaches us patiently and inspires us to become better people. I have already participated in a few competitions.
I am glad that I chose judo as my hobby because it gives me so much: I have become more patient and physically stronger.

Мое хобби
У меня есть несколько увлечений, но моё любимое хобби - это дзюдо, современное японское боевое искусство. «Дзюдо» означает «нежный путь». Это популярный вид спорта в мире, потому что он укрепляет уверенность в себе, самодисциплину, память и внимание. Кроме того, дзюдо учит нас самозащите, уважению и терпению.
Я начал заниматься дзюдо несколько лет назад. Я тренируюсь в местном спортивном центре два раза в неделю. Мы носим белую форму, она называется дзюдоги. Тренировки физически трудные, но мне они нравятся. Наш сэнсей учит нас терпеливо и вдохновляет нас стать лучше. Я уже участвовал в нескольких соревнованиях.
Я рад, что выбрал дзюдо в качестве хобби, потому что оно дает мне много: я стал более терпеливым и физически сильнее.

I started (start) university when I was 20, by which time I had already spent (already/ spend) a year travelling. I thought (think) it would be good to have a gap year and get away from studying for a while and it was also a chance to go travelling. I have always wanted (always/want) to go to the US, so I decided to work for six months and then spend a few months in the US. I had previosuly worked part-time in a shop when I was at school, so I got a full-time job there and started to earn the money for my trip. After I had saved enough money, I bought my ticket and finally set off.
