The games I like most is badminton. All it takes is a
willing partner, two rackets and ashuttlecock. We do not even need a net. After
all we simply enjoy hitting the shuttlecock to each other. My sister and I
spend hours doing this just about everyday. We are not going to be world
champions. It is simply great fun.
We used to do this with two old toy
rackets. Since then our father had bought us two real, although cheap, rackets.
I must say we enjoy the game even more. Sometimes even my mother comes to join
in the fun when she has the time for it.
The other game I like to play is
table tennis. We have an old table, two bats and some balls. So on some days we
play table tennis instead. This is a game that requires more skill. We cannot
even hit the ball onto the table half of the time. This can befrustrating. So
we go back to badminton which is far easier and more fun.
Since we play outdoors we are at
the mercy of the weather. We often have to pause when the wind is too
strong. It is difficult to hit the shuttlecock properly when the wind blows it
away. Sometimes it rains, making it impossible to play.
I do play other games in school
like basketball and football. Somehow they do not seem to be much fun. So I
stick to badminton and table tennis.
