Hi! I’m Alex and I’m a big sports fan. My favourite sport is basketball. I usually play it on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the school court. I’m quite tall, so I can score many points!

On Wednesdays, I go to the pool because I love swimming. It’s very relaxing. At the weekend, I usually stay active too. On Saturday mornings, I go cycling with my dad. We always wear helmets to be safe.

I never play football because I think it’s boring, but I love watching the World Cup on TV!

Czesc! Jestem Alex i jestem wielkim fanem sportu. Moim ulubionym sportem jest koszykowka. Zazwyczaj gram w nia we wtorki i czwartki na szkolnym korcie. Jestem dosc wysoki, wiec moge zdobywac wiele punktow!

W srody chodze na basen, bo uwielbiam plywanie. To bardzo relaksujace. W weekend rowniez zazwyczaj jestem aktywny. W sobotnie poranki jade na rowerze z tata. Zawsze zakladamy kaski dla bezpieczenstwa.

Nigdy nie gram w pilke nozna, bo mysle, ze jest nudna, ale uwielbiam ogladac Mistrzostwa Swiata w TV!
