Sports (persuasive writing)

                                                                    Sports

  Homerun! Touchdown! Swish! These are the sound of some sports that many people can or do play. (There are many more sports you can play though).

 I think everyone should play at least one sport. You could argue and say some people don’t like sports. But your body needs exercise no matter what you do or don’t want to do because you will be unhealthy and people will think your lazy.

 Here are some reasons I think everyone should play a sport. The first reason is because sports are fun and your getting exercise at the same time which is even better. Another reason is you probably will get cheered on by somebody or other people (like your family, friend, and sometimes teammates). My last reason is you get to decide whatever sport you play when your older and you can make your own decisions.

 Therefore, I think everyone should play at least ONE sport and you should to.
