Everyone has their favorite sport. It is based on their personality too. So for me, badminton is
one of my favorite sports. There are some reasons why I am interested in it. First of all, my
health can be improved by playing it. It makes me feel energetic every day. Therefore, I
enjoy the feeling of the badminton flying in the air. During the game, I can change the
direction of badminton with little effort. Secondly, I can make many friends when I play
badminton. I often play it with various types of people. We can improve our skills through
discussion and practice. We can also talk about many interesting things when we have a
break. Last but not least, playing badminton is not as intense as other sports such as
basketball or soccer. It lessens the possibility of being hurt. In a word, playing badminton
benefits a person not only physically but mentally as well. I usually play at least once or
twice a week.
