6. Write a paragraph about a sport that you would like to be good at,explaining why.
I've loved basketball since I was little. I sat and watched others play, both outside and on the internet. I could see that there were even games, and I started watching youtube. I could see how big the players were, they even reached 1.20m. They threw the ball from a distance of 5 meters and hit the basket and I could even see them jumping 3-4 meters up. All I did was play with my classmates at school when I had sports, I really liked it and even today I would like to play basketball, only the time is too short when other more important things are in front of me.
And why would I like it? Because it involves a lot of strength, as well as other sports, but I feel something more special in it, dedication, people are of a different kind. Fans really love what's going on and they don't fight over every thing. As in football and other sports, it involves a lot of patience, concentration, daily training and coordination along with cooperation.
