I have loved sport since I was very young. There is a strong tradition of camogie in my family because my mum played for the school and for the county. She won a lot of prizes for camogie. To be good at sport, you have to do a lot of training. It is difficult at times but it is worth it. There are a lot of advantages associated with sport. It is good for your health and it helps you to escape from the pressure of school.
I like to spend time with my friends also. We often go out at the weekend. Sometimes we go to the cinema together or go to a disco in the town. Unfortunately, the social life isn’t that good in my area because it is quite remote. Usually, I get a lift to the town and I meet my friends there.

Tá grá agam don spórt ó bhí mé an-óg. Tá traidisiún láidir camógaíochta i mo theaghlach mar d’imir mo mhamaí don scoil agus don chontae. Bhain sí a lán duaiseanna don chamógaíocht. Le bheith maith ag an spórt, caithfidh tú a lán traenála a dhéanamh. Bíonn sé deacair in amanna ach is fiú é mar tá a lán buntáistí ag baint le spórt. Tá sé maith do do shláinte agus cuidíonn sé leat éalú ó bhrú na scoile.
Is maith liom am a chaitheamh le mo chairde fosta. Téann muid amach go minic ag an deireadh seachtaine. In amanna, téann muid go dtí an phictiúrlann le chéile nó go dioscó ar an bhaile mhór. Ar an drochuair, níl an saol sóisialta rómhaith i mo cheantar mar tá sé measartha iargúlta. De ghnáth, faighim síob go dtí an baile mór agus buailim le mo chairde ansin.
