The Fall

          The Fall is my favorite of the four seasons. It is also called Autumn, but Fall is more common. Fall is my favorite season for many different reasons. I love Fall for three reasons. First, Fall is the time when the weather becomes cooler, after the hot summer, especially at night. I hate the hot and humid weather in the summer. With the cooler weather, the green leaves on the trees turn red, orange and yellow. Second, Fall is the time of many holidays and festivals, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. These are fun holidays to spend with our family and friends and eat a lot of good food. Finally, I love the Fall because of football. I mean American football, not soccer. I also like soccer,  but I like American football more, probably because American football is the most popular sport  in the US. My favorite teams are the Indianapolis Colts and the San Diego Chargers. I love to watch their games, especially when they win! So, in conclusion, these are the three main reasons I love Fall. There are other reasons, but these are the top three. Which is your favorite season, and why?

Sports in the springtime

     I love to watch sports on TV and live.   I was just thinking today that sports used to all have their separate seasons during the year, but it seems like the seasons have gotten longer now and you can see different sports all year long. Spring is an especially good time for sports.  Right now the baseball season is starting, the basketball season is ending, we're in the middle of the hokey season, the winter Olympics just ended, and you can even follow the off-season activities, draft, and trades in football. You can watch college and professional teams. You can watch soccer pretty much all year round.  I'm a big fan of the Indianapolis teams, the Pacers and the Colts. There is even a minor-league professional baseball team in Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Indians. Their season just started last week. My wife and I like to go to a few games each year. They play at Victory Field in downtown Indianapolis. It's a beautiful stadium and the tickets are inexpensive. Even if you don't understand baseball, you would enjoy going out to watch a game. Someone said that you can't really understand Americans unless you understand baseball. You can even get a discount on Indians tickets as an Ivy Tech student. If you're a sports fan like me, you can enjoy watching lots of sports right now, and maybe even play some sports yourself.

What are your favorite sports? Do you like to play, watch, or both?
