SPEAKING
4. How often do you go / do / play these sports / games? Tick () the right column.
5. Work in groups. What kind of sports / games
do you do most often? Why?
Model 1: I`ve played several games, both indoors and outdoors. Among those games, I enjoyed playing chess more than others.
I mostly play this game with my friends or cousins, sometimes with my father or senior relatives. Since playing chess requires only small room for the two players, we can play it almost anywhere. I enjoy this game because I have had a fascination for it since my childhood. This game requires perfect game plans to find weaknesses of the opponent and uses a suitable battle strategy to defeat the opponent. A player can apply his/her strategies, and then allures the opponent to fall into traps, which is much like a real battlefield. Playing chess gives you a feel of being the King of a regime where you decide your country men`s fate.
For all those reasons, playing chess is a very interesting and enjoyable game to me.
Model 2: Among many sports and games, I enjoy playing volleyball best.
It is a team game. There are two teams of six players which are separated by a net. Like football, volleyball needs a ball to play with. In a volleyball match, each team tries to score points by grounding the ball on the other team`s court under rules. Volleyball players usually use their hands or arms to push or strike the ball. The time of a volley ball match is not fixed. And the players need to have good physical health to play, especially the strikers, because they have to move and jump all the times.
I love volleyball because it is a very exciting and competitive game.
Model 3: My favourite sport is football. Even though I’m not now practicing it anymore, it is still the sport that I love most.
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 reason is that it is a team game, requiring the players to coordinate well with one another. Moreover it is cheap to play and it is interesting to watch. You can play football every where provided that you have a ball and a yard, even big or small. In the past, only men played football, but now both men and women can play it.
For me, I like football because it`s a very interesting and competitive sport. I like the overenthusiastic air on stadium of each match. Anyway football is always the most favourite sport of mine.
