  • Mention what attracts you to this sport, such as its physical benefits or the thrill it offers.

The outdoor sport I would like to try is paragliding. I have always been fascinated by the idea of soaring through the sky and experiencing the freedom of flight. The thrill of gliding over beautiful landscapes and feeling the wind rush past me is something I find incredibly appealing.

Cue 2:Where would you try this sport?

  • Explain why you chose this location, mentioning its scenic beauty or reputation for adventure sports.

I would love to try paragliding in Bir Billing, which is known as one of the best paragliding spots in India. The stunning views of the Dhauladhar mountain range and the lush green valleys below make it an ideal place for this sport. I have heard that the take-off point offers breathtaking scenery, which would enhance the overall experience.

Example

I believe paragliding is relatively easy to learn, especially with proper guidance. There are many schools in Bir Billing that offer beginner courses. From what I have seen, most people can grasp the basics within a few days of training. I am excited about the idea of learning from experienced instructors and eventually flying solo.

Conclusion

    Example

    In conclusion, paragliding is an outdoor sport that excites me due to its adventurous nature and the stunning views it offers. I look forward to trying it in Bir Billing, where I can learn from professionals and enjoy the thrill of flying.

    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    The outdoor sport I would like to do is none other than football. The reason is that it really keeps my heart pumping but in a good way. I feel relaxed. I feel that I am improving my health. I need not spend money in the gym or be too creative to decide which type of cardio exercise I must do. It does require running. It also promotes my mental health because I have to focus. For instance, sometimes I play the role of a goalkeeper. Moreover, I love to take the role of dribbling which does require a lot of concentration. I would like to try this in my parking lot. There are not many people in my apartment so that place is free for me to do as I please. However, I will agree that it will not be easy for me to play. Firstly, I don't have a coach who can guide me in the skills required for this sport. Moreover, there are not many people who are football enthusiasts. They are more into other sports such as cricket and hockey. While I do play for the fun of it, I still feel that I need some guidance and a proper football field so that I can actually give value for that sport. Otherwise, I would have taken this sport to my liking if I had the opportunity to play outside.

    So an outdoor dote that I like to do is basketball. I am engaged in basketball since I was a child and in my school I learned how to play basketball when I was in 6th grade.

Moreover, I like to play basketball because it is a game that encourages teamwork and has a lot of work to do with the competency skills and also it is a very fun sport to play. However, me and my old friends are engaged in basketball and we often like to play it in the evenings. There is a ground nearby our home town that is located and it is a very proper ground built with inside wooden court and I like to play it with my friends. Whenever we are free, we call together a few friends and start playing it as we have a passion toward basketball. I have also played basketball for my Punjab State as I was training in the Ludhiana Academy which is a very big and renowned academy. Meanwhile, I like to play it because it also helps us to keep our body fit as fiddle and it also helps us to be concentrated in our mind and relieve stress. As by playing it, a person can enjoy all kinds of things like a person can be accurate regarding his targets and can also opt for a profession because it is a high-paying sport and people enrolled in NBA that is National Basketball Association can be very much profit to them and they can be easily be earn a lot of money by doing it.

    The outdoor sport that I like most is badminton and then throwball. I usually play those games in the college ground. After the college we used to play badminton on the roads, not very busy roads but the free roads. I have played a few tournaments of throwball during my college days. For throwball it is very easy that you learn to play the sport because the only thing you have to do is to catch the ball at any cost. After that in badminton you have to learn some techniques that you can score more than the opponent team and really good with the swings of the badminton. The game throwball is my go-to sport when I used to play in the school. So that's how I gained a lot of interest about the throwball.

I also teach my neighbors and colleagues to play badminton. My office colleague stays near by my house location. We gather at the badminton court and we all play together.
