Now, I really enjoy playing football and participating in the inter-school competitions.

Doing aerobics is one of my favorite sports. I usually do aerobics after school in the afternoon. Most of the time I practice with my friends, sometimes I practice alone at home.

Besides, doing aerobics helps me to avoid depression and release stress because I practice it with my friends.

My favorite sport is playing badminton. There are four reasons why I like it. Firstly, I can improve my health. I play it about 2 times every week. It makes me feel energetic every day. Secondly, I enjoy the feeling that badminton flies in the air. I can change the movement direction of badminton without much effort and make the opponent lose it. Thirdly, I can make many friends when I play badminton. I often play it with many kinds of people. We can improve our skills with exercises. Also we talk about many interesting things when we have a break. Finally, playing badminton is not as intense as other sports such as basketball and soccer. It lessens the possibility of being hurt. So if you like playing badminton, please feel free to contact me. I think we can exchange experiences and make friends.

Sample 4:

My favorite sport is swimming. I always go swimming when I have spare time. I started swimming lessons when I was 10 years old. My house doesn’t have a swimming pool, so my dad often takes me to the local swimming pool. There are many different forms of swimming such as crawling, butterfly, or breaststroke, etc. I like swimming on my stomach, which requires hand thrust. To swim safely, you need to have specialized swimming equipment such as swimming goggles, swimwear, swimming buoys, swimming hats, earplugs, sunscreen, and shampoo. The hardest part of learning to swim is learning to float. In addition, we also need to practice regulating breathing, foot and hand rhythm. Swimming helps us to exercise. Swimming is suitable for almost all ages. So as long as you like it, you can learn to swim.

Sample 5:

Volleyball has always been my favorite sport since I was a little kid. It is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Most volleyball matches last between 60 and 90 minutes. I started playing volleyball professionally for my school team when I was in grade nine. Usually, I play volleyball with my friends after school. However, when there is a competition, we will practice more. I love volleyball because it is an amazing team sport. Playing it helps me learn how to interact and cooperate properly with my teammates. I also widen my relationship circle thanks to it. In the future, I want to play for the national team.

Sample 6:

Chess is my most favorite game. I play chess whenever I get time. Chess is an indoor game with two players. This game does not involve any major physical activities but a chess player has to use his/her brain and make game plans to defeat the opponent.

I often play this game with my friends, my cousins, my father and some of my senior relatives. Because playing chess requires only placing the board on a surface and sitting position of the two participating players, it is convenient for me to play chess almost anywhere I want. I enjoy this game because its game requires the overall theme and barnstorming. A player can apply his/her strategy, and then allure the opponent to fall into a trap which is much like a real battlefield. For all those reasons, this is a very interesting and enjoyable game to me.
