Q. 
What 
types 
of 
sports 
do 
you 
like? 
Answer: I have always been a fan of almost all kinds of sports except sports like 
boxing and wrestling because I find boxing and wrestling to be a bit too violent 
for my test. Anyway, just to name a few of the sport I like, they are football 
(soccer), cricket, hockey, tennis, badminton, ice hockey and volleyball. 
Q.

is 
the 
most 
popular 
sport 
in

Answer: I would say that cricket is the most popular sport in my country, given 
the huge crowds this sport attracts, followed by soccer and hockey. Of course,

some would also argue that soccer/football is the most popular sport in my 
country. 
Q. 
Do 
you 
prefer 
team 
or 
individual 
sports?[Why?] 
Answer: I prefer team sports, mainly because the team sport encourages 
interaction with other players and learn to cooperate, and thus improving the 
skill level of an individual team member further, which wouldn’t be possible 
otherwise. Team sports provide more opportunities for us to learn meaningful 
things such as responsibility, unity, teamwork and bravery. 
Q. Did you play any sport in your childhood that you no longer play? 
[Why?] 
Answer: Yes, I did play volleyball in my childhood, which I no longer play, 
primarily because I have become busy with other priorities of life. Besides, 
since I have grown up, I have begun to like other kinds of sports instead of 
'volleyball'.
