IV. Read the passage and choose the best answer
My favorite sport is swimming. I learned to swim when I was five and I have been to the swimming pool at least twice a
week ever since. You do not need much special equipment if you want to learn to swim-only a pair of swimming trunks if you
are a boy, or a swimming costume and a cap if you are a girl. When you start you may like to use a ring or some water-wings.
How can you learn to swim? It is best to learn when you are still quite young and some parents even taught their six-monthold babies to swim. It is just a good idea just to play round in the pool for a while until you get used to being in the water. Try to
find a good teacher. You must learn to keep your balance in the water and then your teacher will show how to move your arms
and legs so that you move along smoothly and easily. As soon as you feel confident in the pool you will quickly start making
good progress. Most people learn the breaststroke first and then go on to backstroke and crawl. After that, you can learn to dive.
Diving is probably what I like doing most when I go to the pool. I am particularly interested in swimming faster than anyone else
but I love trying to dive as gracefully as possible. Swimming is not an expensive sport and it is very good for all the muscles in
your body. I would recommend anyone at any age to take up swimming as a hobby.
