雅思口语Part1：Sports 运动

1.Do you like to watch sports on TV?
It’s really entertaining to watch sports. In fact, I have subscribed to various sports television channels at my home so that I can watch live games such as the all the world-class football matches or tennis open games.

2.When did you first become interested in sports?
As far as I remember, there was a cricket match between India and Pakistan and my entire family was watching that on television. After sometime, the match became dicey and I also started participating in the conversation. That match fueled my interest in sports and I found myself close to the fields after that day.

3.Do you play any sports?
I don’t prefer a specific kind of sport, but I really like working out in the gym… That helps me to keep my body in a good shape.

4.Do you have a favorite sports star?
I feel that my favourite sports star is Messi who is a forward in Barcelona. He is the perfect blend of speed, strength, skill and toughness. He is also an icon in the modern football.

5.What kinds of sports are popular in China?
It’s very hard to figure out “the most popular sport” in China, but I would say the most popular sports are probably soccer, basketball, track and field (mostly for students), table tennis, and badminton. Some martial arts including Tai Chi are being revived and popularized these days too.

6.What kinds of sports would you like to try in the future?
Well, I guess what I’ll try in the future is the tennis because it can help me build my strength and improve my flexibility and balance. Besides, tennis is social, it’s a sport I can enjoy with friends if I play regularly.

7.Do you think the sports chosen by young people and old people are similar?
Not really. There may be some age-friendly sports like walking, swimming and dancing that all kinds people should and like to do, but in general, old people tend not to play aggressive team sports like young people madly do, such as football, basketball.
