Transcript
1 I’ve always loved photography, and used my dad’s
camera for ages. I’ve taken loads of photos with it,
but it’s a bit old fashioned. I’ve never had a really
good camera. Anyway, I finally bought a new one a
couple of weeks ago. Now I’ll be able to take some
really good pictures. My other hobby is gymnastics – I
do it at a local club with other teenagers. I love being
part of the team. The only problem I have is that I
don’t do gymnastics or photography as much as I’d
like to. I’m so busy with homework and other things.
2 I’ve always loved going to the ice-rink and not long
ago I took up ice hockey. I’m still a beginner, but I
really enjoy it. I’ve got my own skates and my parents
gave me a stick for my birthday last month, so I don’t
have to borrow one from the club any more. I used to
only like individual sports, ones that you do on your
own, like running. But now I much prefer to be part of
a team.

**Football:**

I have always been passionate about football ever since I was a child.
There's something truly exhilarating about the sport that captivates
me every time I step onto the field. I usually play football with my
friends at the local park every Saturday morning. The crisp morning
air, the sound of cleats hitting the grass, and the camaraderie among
teammates create an atmosphere that is unmatched.

What I love most about football is the teamwork and strategy


involved. It's not just about individual skill but also about how well
you can work together as a team to outsmart your opponents. The
rush of adrenaline when you score a goal or make a crucial save is
indescribable. Additionally, football is a great way to stay fit and
healthy while having fun.

**Basketball:**

Another sport that I thoroughly enjoy is basketball. Unlike football,


basketball offers a fast-paced and dynamic experience that keeps me
on my toes. I often play basketball at the local community center
after work on weekdays. There's nothing quite like the sound of the
ball bouncing on the court and the swish of the net after sinking a
shot.

What draws me to basketball is the combination of skill, athleticism,


and strategy required to succeed. From dribbling and shooting to
passing and defending, every aspect of the game demands precision
and quick thinking. Moreover, basketball is a fantastic way to relieve
stress and unwind after a long day. The intensity of the game allows
me to focus entirely on the moment, leaving behind any worries or
distractions.

In conclusion, both football and basketball hold a special place in my


heart for their unique experiences and the joy they bring. Whether
it's the strategic gameplay of football or the fast-paced action of
basketball, I cherish every moment spent on the field or court with
friends, and I look forward to many more games in the future.
