The best composition of the month: Patricia Garrido's

As usual, here you have a brilliant essay written by one of you. Use it as a model and pay attention to the words in bold:


Sports survey

Nowadays experts from all over the world recommend playing sports in order to keep ourselves fit and healthy, so we decided to conduct a study related to it. The aim of our survey was to study sports participation by gender; these are some of our conclusions:

On the one hand and as expected, the vast majority of the men who were interviewed usually play football, and only a tiny percentage of women (9.2%)  play it. This was followed closely by golf, a sport played mostly by men. On the other hand, some sports such as aerobics or dance are usually more enjoyed among women than among men. And the difference is even bigger in the case of yoga, which is a sport that is only done by 17.5% of men.

However, there are some sports such as health and fitness or swimming where we cannot see a big difference by gender, and the results also reveal that roughly a third of the women go running or cycling.

To sum up and according to our statistics, we think that it is important to mention that the big difference between women and men in some kind of sports (such as football or dance) may be due to the stereotypes of our society, because it is a well-known fact that certain people still find that some sports are only exclusive for men or for women.
