READING

Hi, I’m Joanna, and I’m a squash player. Squash is a great sport! It’s great fun, but you need to be quite fit, fast and skilful to play.
That’s why I love it. In squash, there are no teams and you play on your own. You play against one opponent. There are also lots
of rules, but it’s not difficult to learn. You don’t need expensive equipment, but you do need to play on a squash court. I go to
the courts near my house with my friends. When I play, I always wear the right gear – a T-shirt, shorts and trainers. You also
need a special racket and ball to play. Squash also teaches you discipline and motivation. Squash matches don’t usually last as
long as tennis matches – usually only about an hour – but they are more intense. And like any other sport, you need to practise.
So when my friends are playing computer games at home, I’m training at the squash court. I don’t like sitting at home and
watching TV – I prefer to be active. I think playing in squash competitions is great! I want to be a professional squash player in
the future.
