My Favorite Outdoors Sport


Sports have come to play an important part in everyday life for many Koreans. The Korean people traditionally love soccer and soccer is one of the most popular sports in Korea. Lately, the most popular sports for Korean adults seem to be golf and tennis. My favorite outdoors sports are soccer and golf. My parents taught me many kinds of sports and art education; especially I learned to play soccer and golf with interest from my boyhood. Soccer and golf gave me some special opportunity because I learned them from some kinds of professional players. I also met many kinds of foreigners and I joined many kinds of tournaments for 17 years. I think that there are many things in this world that cannot be learned from books. Actually, I’m as happy as happy can be when I play soccer and golf.

Basketball has always been my favorite outdoors sport. To play basketball outside is a good way to benefit my health, to reduce my modern pressure, and to sharpen my skills. I always like to play basketball in a public park in the morning, because it is the best time to breathe the fresh air and feast on a gallery of landscape. The view of the park is so charming and attractive. Also, playing basketball can help me relax myself to forget my busy job. It is an exciting sport to play with other competitors, so I can focus on the game to wipe out my pressure. Furthermore, I can practice my new skills that I learned from the NBA program on TV. The field is an instant stage to show my ability, and I can study other special skills from my competitors. Finally, to play basketball outside can help me make various friends who are equipped with different backgrounds, so we can talk about our jobs, interests, and life after the game. Due to these factors, basketball is my favorite outdoors sport.

The disc golf

In fact I do not usually do outdoors sport, but do play disc golf sometimes. I did not know about that before I came here. One day, my American friend asked me to play disc golf, but I could not understand what it is. Disc golf has similar rules from golf but is a little bit different. The way to play disc golf is just to throw the disc and pick it up and throw it again. You must put the disc in something like a basket. This game has 8 or 9 baskets. If you play this game, you will walk a lot. So it might be able to make you healthy. It is difficult at first, but I am sure that everyone gets used to playing easily in a short time. Just go outside and play disc golf when the weather is perfect.

Favorite sports

My favorite outdoor sports are soccer, tennis, and basketball. I like to play sports because I can make other friends and I like to meet people. And, these sports make my health better. When I lived in Korea, i joined a soccer team because I liked to play soccer. Also I liked to watch people play soccer. When I was playing soccer, I was so happy. Actually, now I have spent a little time playing these sports because I do not have much time and I get lazy. Five months ago, I joined a USA soccer team. But I cannot play again because I do not have enough time. Now I have a fat body, so I try to exercise. If I join the university, I will play soccer again, because I love soccer.

My favorite outdoor sport is soccer. Since when I was young I've played soccer. Also, I've got along with many friends by playing soccer. At that time, when I played soccer with many friends, I was happy and enjoyed myeself. And we could have good teamwork. Also, playing soccer gave me friends, and it became my favorite sport. Soccer helps me to dissolve my stress when I shoot the ball. Soccer is very wild sport, and requires much physical strength. So, it is good exercise to make sweat. Also, it requires good teamwork, so players can get along with many friends. Even recently I have been playing soccer sometimes and I like it. -Moon-
