Oscar Pistorius participation in the Olympic



The authorities of each game are responsible for making decisions that making competition stronger without missing the fair and sport spirit. So, they must determine if the use of artificial legs by Oscar Pistorius is fair or not.
Many people believe that he shouldn’t compete with able-bodied people since his legs give him an advantage because they are taller and much lighter than those of other athletes. In addition, his body will need less power because his heart pumps blood to upper body only. All these make his steps longer, faster and more endurance. For these reasons the competition will be unfair.
Some people, in turn, think that he should be able to compete with able-bodied people because he is very strong man and his power comes from his hard practice and preparation. Moreover, he gives a perfect example of the persistence that many athletes lack. Besides that, he always competes in the 100 and 200 meter, and this type of running requires good acceleration and it doesn't require more energy that is needed in long distance running. Also, he can reduce the length of his legs to suit with other competitors.
In summary, I think he deserves to be given a chance to show his abilities. I think his participation will open a huge door to other disabled athletes and will encourage the sport and financial companies to support them. 

The best sports


    When I was a child, I used to playing different sports, such as soccer, basketball and volleyball. I always played these games with my friends in the school, since the requirements of these games were usually offered in the school. In addition these games are very popular in Iraq, and many people and sport teachers know their rules and skills very well. Furthermore, these games are played as a team and not individually, and this is making these games more fun and competitive.
    Finally, I think the simple rules and requirements of a particular game, besides the strength of competition, are the main criteria that help to spread this game world-wide.

Soccer is the sport that I like it



  The soccer game is a very famous game in my country. I am used to playing this game from many years ago. when I was in the elementary school, I was playing many times in a week, also I am still playing even now.
      Year after year, my love for soccer has gone up. When I was a child, my parents gave me a ball as a gift, and with this I could make a team with my friends in the school and neighborhood. We always played this game in the day and the night, and the goalkeeper was my favorite position in this period of my life. After that, when I was in high school and college, I usually participated in the soccer teams and always we entered the different competition, and sometimes we won, but most times we lost. In addition, all these years of playing soccer made me a good player, and I began to play as a forward. 
      All in all, I am playing soccer for exercise, training my body and getting me energy, besides having fun. Moreover, I play soccer to remember my friends in different stages of my life and how we spent a nice time to learn a new skill in this game or watch matches on T.V. or stadium. Furthermore I think that soccer is not just a game, it is complete life for you. Two weeks ago, for example, I was playing with my friend. All the members in my team were tired and took a rest, but I still played alone. The opposite team said "give up" but I didn't. I think this taught me a lesson, that anybody should not give up in any condition. Finally I could get a goal. Although my team and I lost this match, I got a great lesson. This is the soccer and this reminds me of a proverb that says    "Life is a game".
