Sports and arts both play an important role in my life. They help me develop different skills and keep my life balanced. Sports help me stay healthy and active, while arts allow me to express my emotions and creativity.
I enjoy participating in sports because they make me feel energetic and strong. At the same time, I also like art activities, such as drawing or creative projects. They help me relax and think differently.
Having both sports and arts in my life makes me more developed as a person. They teach me discipline, creativity, and confidence.

6. I’m tired because I had to stay up last night to finish some work.
7. My car belonged to the company, so when I lost my job I had to give it back.
