Here are the results of my survey and my recommendations Results There are basically two kinds of sports that students participate in: indoor and outdoor sports 143144 Indoor sports: Many students say they often enjoy te-play playing table tennis (fifty percent) and even more say that they would swim at least once a week if there was an indoor swimming pool available. Other indoor sports that students mentioned frequently were fencing, badminton, basketball and aerobics. Qutdoor sports: These were not se as popular than as indoor sports because of the cold winter. Nevertheless, the following sports were mentioned several times: ice-hockey, football and golf. Conclusions Obviously it would be too #ruich expensive to have a golf fed course or an ice hockey stadium built, There isa swimming complex in our city already, though students say it should be renovated. Around the city there are also many places to play football. Therefore, | necornmend te-bxald building an indoor sports centre that can be used for table tennis, basketball, badminton and aerobics. In this way ‘we would provide for the needs of the majority of students.
