Sample Answer
Since I was a little boy, I began to fall for football, and until now I have ever stopped loving sports.
At the very beginning, I first came to know football when my father took me to watch a football
match in which our local team played against their biggest competitor. Although our team lose that
match, I knew that they had trained hard to prepare for the big match, also during the match, they
showed their determination to win that game. All of this made me love our team and to start to fall
in love with the interesting sports. After that, I always followed our local team and asked my father to
buy season tickets, then I would never miss any games of my favourite team.
Apart from watching football, I am also into playing it. Thus, whenever I have spare time, I prefer to
spend on playing football with my friends, which is not only easy for us to take up but also give us a
sense of enjoyment. Though it makes me sweat a lot anytime I play with the ball, I love the fact that
I always have a great time with my buddy. In addition, I was proud that by playing football regularly I
can get into shape, then my relatives compliment on my fit body each time we meet.
Finally, I believe that does not matter that how busy I will be in the future, I will constantly spend a part
of my time on football, and my love for football will never be faded.
