Band 8 Sample

I would lượt thích to tướng talk about one of my favourite activities on the beach, swimming. You know, I live in Hai Phong, a coastal city with golden beaches and the nearest seashore is just fifteen minutes from my house. So, in the summer, my friends and I often go there and swim in the cool water to tướng avoid the hot weather.

Actually, swimming is a relatively easy sport. I learned how to tướng swim when I was about 8 years old and it took mạ only a week to tướng get familiar with a number of swimming strokes, like breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. Before entering the water, I often warm up and stretch my muscles and joints to avoid any injuries, then put on my swimsuit and jump right in.

I really enjoy swimming on the beach because of a few reasons. Firstly, unlike other water sports such as diving or windsurfing, which require costly equipment, swimming costs nothing. Secondly, swimming is extremely beneficial to our health. It provides an all-over toàn thân workout, as nearly all of our muscles are used during swimming. It also builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. Lastly, going swimming is a good means of recreation as it allows mạ to unwind, alleviate stress and have a great time with my friends.

Summer is coming sánh I’ll definitely make a plan to tướng visit the beach soon. I intend to tướng go to tướng Nha Trang beach as it’s considered as one of the most magnificent beaches in the world.
