3. Band 8 Sample

I’m not really into sports but if I have to choose, badminton would be my most favorite one. I used to play it with my friends after school or whenever I had free time.

In my opinion, badminton is not only a physical exercise but also an ideal way to relieve stress and relax. When I was young, I used to play it every weekend with my parents but then I stopped enjoying it for a while because of school work and I didn’t realize the importance of playing sports.

However, when I went to university, a lot of my friends loved playing badminton and we also had a big playground, so I started playing it again. We also had a badminton club, which everyone could join and play badminton on the weekends. We also played against each other and the winner would get a small prize, such as a medal or snacks. Sometimes we chose other kinds of sports such as volleyball or basketball so that we wouldn’t get tired of playing only badminton. I think that time at university has helped me a lot in developing practical skills such as teamwork, self-discipline and problem–solving.That’s why I still play badminton to this day because I think it is a good and affordable way to pursuea healthy lifestyle. You don’t need to have special equipment, clothes or a big playground. And above all, it’s a fantastic way to relax after a long day at work or at school.
