Part2
Talk about a sport that interests you but you have never tried.
where it is usually played/ what kinds of people/ why it interests you/ say if you think you will ever do this sport or not
Now, I would like to describe a sport that I have never tried.
The sport which I've chosen is ice skating. Ice skating is done on an ice rink which is usually artificially made. So it can be done at any time of the year, not just in the winter when it is cold.
The kind of people who do it professionally are usually young and very physically fit since they need to have good balance and strong core muscles. However, the kind of people who go ice skating just for fun can be of all ages and fitness levels. Many people consider it to be a good activity to do when they are on a date with a girlfriend or boyfriend.
It's a sport that I'm interested in because it looks like such a beautiful, graceful activity that also requires exceptional skill.
I would like to try the sport but I think I would only go to an ice rink for fun with my friends as opposed to actually getting proper training. My sense of balance is terrible and I prefer taking part in team sports for the socializing aspect. However, I still enjoy watching ice skaters in the Olympics.
That's all from me, thank you very much for your attention!
Part3 (1/4)
Why do you think sport is important?
The main reason that various kinds of sport are integral is because they offer good ways to exercise. In order to stay healthy, it is necessary to maintain a well-balanced diet and to do regular exercise. I think that sporting activities can be fun too, because people can participate in team games with friends if they want to.
Part3 (2/4)
Do you think famous sportspeople are good role models for children?
Yes, I would agree that most famous sports stars are good role models for children. They represent a healthy body and lifestyle. Athletes can encourage children to take part in more outdoor activities so that youngsters start doing exercise and develop a sense of competition. This inspiration helps to lead children to an excellent life in which they can fulfill their dreams.
Part3 (3/4)
Do you agree that sports stars earn too much money?
Yes, sports stars do earn too much money and the amount that some of them make is shocking. I believe that salaries should be based on the contribution jobs offer to society. It is unfair that nurses and firefighters don't make much money even though they save lives, but sportspeople who only entertain their fans make a huge amount of money.
Part3 (4/4)
Who is your favorite sports star?
My favorite sports star is David Beckham because he is a good role model as well as an amazing football player. He came from humble beginnings but worked hard to achieve his success. I also respect that he is a family man who looks after his wife and plays with his four children.
