Well, I have to admit that in the past I wasn't a very active person, but these days I try to do sport regularly. When I was younger, I only used to play football in the park with my friends and nothing else. Now I understand that exercise is very important, so tomorrow, I am going to play basketball. Yesterday, I did athletics at school.
