Playing badminton is really my cup of tea in leisure time, because it improves my health, helps me be more and more confident, and is entertaining. First and foremost, by playing badminton about two hours a day, I feel full of beans for the entire day. For instance, I can finish my homework and housework efficiently; hence my mother always encourages me to play it everyday. The second point is that playing badminton brings me out of my self. I can make friends with many people. After competitive matches, we often chat with one another about hobbies or plans in future. Last but not least, playing badminton is entertaining. It helps me relax after working hours, and relieve stress.. All in all, I consider playing badminton as my favourite pastime for it brings both physical and mental benefits.
My favorite sport is football. In America people called it Soccer. But I like to call it Football. It has been my favorite sport almost for 10 years, when I was 15 years old, and it still is, even though I’m not practicing it anymore. Nowadays, most of people in the world like football,so it is called the king of sports. Why do people like it? I think the most reason is it easy to play. You can play football every where if you just have a ball with the right size. Not only men play football but also women can play. There is the World Champion for men players each 4 years, and for Women as well. In addition, football have a big attraction. When World cup took place, a large number of millions people watched it on TV and saw it directly. Now there are many football club in each country, even district, school in the world. In the football today there are much more money involved, especially in sponsors. But player also cost a lot, There are many players as C.Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane who cost over 50 million euro, even over 100 million euro. Many big and famous club have large stadiums with alot of fan in all over the world. They can get a great number of billion US dollar from broadcasting copywrite every year and a big avenue from sponsors and advertising. That prove the attration of football. To me, I like football because it's a useful, healthful, collective but competitive sport. I like overenthusiastic air on stadium on each match. Anyways football always is the most favorite sport of mine.
I often go swimming. It is an individual sport. You need goggles and swimming hat when you go swimming. I go swimming in the morning with my family and my friends. I often go swimming every day. We go to the swimming pool by motorbike or car. I realy like it because it is a great sport and good for health
