Doing a sport is often quite different from watching it on TV. When you do a sport, you get fit. Sport is usually something that makes you sweat, because of that you are getting fit. In addition, doing a sport means having a healthy life if you know how to combine the sport with your alimentation. However, when you are watching a sport on TV, you are not getting fit, and at the same time, you are not having a healthy life. When we are watching something on TV we are usually sitting and sometimes even we are eating. Although all is about sports, doing a sport and watching it are pretty different experiences.

Comparision paragraph:
An action film and a romantic one are a different kind of films, but they have some surprising
similarities. First of all, both film genres have tension. In action films, tension is used to make the
action scenes more dynamic. We feel the tension when the main character is getting pursued by
the villain and we do not know what is going to happen. In romantic films, we can feel the same
tension when the two characters who are in love find the quimic between then, but they are not
brave enough to say what they are feeling. Another similarity would be the soundtrack. In both
romantic and action films, we can find an amazing and iconic soundtrack which makes the scene
more extreme and sensitive. Anyone knows the soundtrack of James Bond and the Titanic one,
“My heart will go on ''. Both are an iconic soundtrack and are from different film genres. In addition,
it is necessary to mention the iconic scenes. In action films, there are a lot such as: the hapooning
of Dom´s car scene in the sixth film of Fast and Furious. In romantic films, we find the amazing
Titanic scene, known by anyone, “I'm flying”. Last but not least, both genres of films have comedy.
Comedy is something that anyone likes, for that reason, we can find it in all the films we see of
action and romance. Maybe their similarities make anyone like watching a romantic film or an
action one.
