Introduction about Squash

I introduce about Squash. Do you know Squash?

What’s Squash?

Squash is a racquett sport played by two players(singles) or four players(doubles) in a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball. I think Squash is like tennis. In addition, this sport has a lot of rules.

So, I talk about rules.

The players must alternate in striking the ball with their racquet and hit the ball onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. First step, we must know that 1game is the taking the first 11 points of the game system. This game is 5 time, and the taking the first 3 game system. Also, it is rerry point system. So, if player win rarry game, player get point without serve. In addition, there are a lot of systems. In addition, Squash have more rules. The court system, serve system, and scoring system.

Squash began early 19 century in Fleet Prison, London. This sport was starving off boredom for prisoners. It is derivation from tennis. Now, in 188 countries, there are twenty million players. In the future, squash will be an Olympic sport.

For playing squash, we need only 2 items. Racquet and ball. Squash racquet is long and narrow then tennis racquet. Also, ball is very small like a golf ball.

Also, in the world, there is public organization.

In japan, there is only public organization. It’s Japan Squash Association. This organization is national federation. Their purpose is developing Squash in Japan.

In the world, there is the World Squash Federation. Its head office is East Sussex in England. They hold a lot of Championships. World Open, World doubles championship

BR 2-18: Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats (Ann Earle,1995)

"When the sun goes down, bats come out to hunt"

Bats sleep all day, then zip and zoom through the darkness as they hunt. But bats won't hurt you-they hunt at night because that's when their favorite insects are easiest to catch. 

I don't like bats. Also, I don't like insects. I have reason. When I was 8 years old, I usually went to potholing with my friends. I didn't know that there are bats there. However, suddenly, a lot of bats appeared in front of me. I was so scary, so I cried. From that, I became to hate bats.

However, I think about that day now, so I harmed their living space then. I feel that bats saved their living space and their family.
