Look through the text carefully and correct the mistakes. “Teenagers and Sport”
It's quite rarely to meet teenagers which don't like sports. When you are young, you know how important it is to make exercises if you want to be healthy and strongly. You often concentrate at just one sport with such much enthusiasm that in the end you can't live without it. But the problem is that as you grow up you have lesser spare time for it. At this age, when you have to study hardly if you want to go to university you may have only one afternoon to do sports. By the time you will finish all your studies you will probably be too much to be really good at sports.
