Describe a sport that you have learned

You should say:

  • what sport it is  
  • when you learned it
  •  what you learned to do   

And explain how you feel about this sport.

Sample Answer

Basketball is the sport which I have been interested in for a long time. Therefore, I have taken up this sport recently.

Basketball is played by two teams of five members on a rectangular court, where the players of each team try to shoot the ball through the rival’s hoop. As far as I know, basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world. This is because of basketball’s great benefits to our health, such as muscular development, height growth, and so on. Of course, it’s also fast-moving and exciting.

Considering its huge advantages, I decided to take up this sport. Actually, I have been learning it for three months at a sport center. Here, I am taking the beginner course which provides me with basic skills to play basketball such as dribbling, jumping and shooting. Also, I have many opportunities to practise these skills with experienced basketball players, which helps to improve my game a lot.

As a final point, I would emphasize that in the near future, I hope that I will be able to play basketball skillfully to improve my physical condition and really enjoy the sport to the full.
