1. What are the sports facilities like in your hometown?
1. 你家乡有哪些运动设施？
Beijing has a lot of modern indoor facilities offering bowling,tennis,swimming,and other things. But they are not free and you have to belong to the club in order to use these facilities. I am a member of a tennis club in Chaoyang District.It is not hard to apply for membership to a club. You just fill in a form and pay several hundred yuan as the membership fee. Besides the indoor facilities,there are many outdoor sports facilities in the neighborhood communities. They are mostly for the elderly and children.
北京有很多现代室内设施，提供保龄球、网球、游泳及其他体育项目。但是它们是要收费的，而且只有当你是该俱乐部的会员时才可以使用这些体育器材。我是朝阳区网球俱乐部的一名会员。申请人会其实不难，你只需填一份表格，花上几百元就可以了。除了室内设施，在社区里都会设有室外体育器材。它们大都适合于老年人和小孩使用。

2. 男性和女性在运动方面有什么不同？
As a young boy,I like some severe sports,like football and basketball. Sometimes I play boxing with my friends. I don't think this sport suitable for women. Most women prefer some quiet sports,I mean, without much body touch, like table tennis or some sports that are good for keeping a good figure.
作为一个小男生，我喜欢像足球、篮球等剧烈运动。有时我也会和朋友一起打打拳击。我认为这项体育运动就不适合女生，大多女生喜欢安静一点的运动，我的意思是不需要什么身体接触的运动，像打乒乓球这样的运动可以帮助保持身材。
