Volleyball is contact sport that we have to play in a team . each team has 6 members . and , there is a high net between two teams . people use hands to beat the ball to another team . the team which has high score is the winner .

Actually , it it an exciting sport . I always play with my friends in my free time . we usually play on the ground near the center of the hamlet . sometimes , I play with my colleagues , my students or with my neighbors . in my local festivals , my friends and I also together as a team and take part in volleyball competition there . sometimes , we win .

Whenever I am faced with the question about my sporting activity , my answer is always the same : jogging . It has accompanied me for nearly three ears and I hope I can keep this habit as long as possible .

It is said that the afternoon is the best time for exercise . When I am free in the afternoon , I will try put on my comfortable clothes and running shoes , and then go jogging .
There are several reasons why I love jogging . First of all , it is very easy to do .Unlike basketball of football , which requires a particular place , jogging does not have a strict demand for a place . I live in the city ,so usually I jog in the park near my house . Second , I do not have to pay a lot of attention on the exercise itself . I can always enjoy the beautiful scenery in the park as long as I want . Next , Jogging is a very good exercise for mental relaxation . After jogging for about 20 minutes , I will reach a point where all my troubles and pressure seem to disappear . At that time , I keep telling myself deep in heart that it is good to be alive ; everything will be Ok ; enjoy your life . Generally speaking , I jog 40 minutes in a run . when I stop , physically I am a little tired , but physiological I feel refreshed . This is the major reason I love jogging .

To me , jogging is not merely my favorite sporting activity . Now it has become a very important part of my life
