    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.

We have to play different types of balls in the grass.

    So, the outdoor sport that I would like to do would be playing badminton. Why I chose this is because it brings out a lot of memories from my childhood. I used to play badminton with my neighborhood pals, with my classmates during school games period. And, you know, with my family as well whenever we went for picnics. And I don't really have to spend much time learning the sport since I already have played it. But it would be great to reminisce the memories of my childhood and play badminton again.

    Well, this topic is of very deep interest to me. I am very fond of playing football. As a matter of fact, I played football in my later years of high school. I played as a goalkeeper initially because I was unfamiliar with the skills that I required to be a good footballer. So I started with being a goalkeeper. I excelled at it. I even represented my house in my final year of studies in my high school. I won a couple of close events there. Eventually, I wanted to shift to a more inclusive role like that of a defender or a midfielder. But unfortunately, as the exams got closer, I barely got time to develop my skills and play this beloved sport. But having gotten some time off now, I would like to rekindle my joy of playing football. This might be an opportunity for me to get close to some of my friends from my school as well. Because the last time I heard, they have been playing football for the last couple of weeks together. So I find it really enjoyable that I would be able to play football with friends of mine. Lately, I have been only watching it on television. I am also an avid watcher of football. I like to watch different leagues across the world. Be it the English Premier League or the Spanish Premier League. Because every league has a different style of play. You get to learn a lot by watching different players play in different conditions and different scenarios. Because at the end of the day, football is not just about your physical attributes. But it also has a lot to do with your mental attributes. Whether you are able to cope with the pressure. Because pressure can sometimes make you feel nervous and bring out the worst in you. Which you wouldn't want in a game which is very difficult.

    The best outdoor sport that I would play everyday would be cricket. Well, the cricket is basically most famous in all over India and world also, worldwide. And I really like that game because it has many players. In each team there are 10 players and we play that game because while playing that game we can stay fit and we can communicate with each and every player. And there are basically some scores that we get while hitting a ball with our bat and while scoring the highest number of score will be considered as a winner. And the opposite team, if they win, then we have to lose. And all players have their own...

    Outdoor sport, which I like to do from a very early age, is badminton. Playing badminton has been a habit since my school days. We used to play in school, in college, as in medical school, especially during the pandemic days when we had time off our hands. And also outside our house, in the park, in designated grounds, badminton for badminton. So badminton is a sport which is also played at a professional level, but I play it for leisure. So yes, learning the sport is not that difficult, or let's say moderately difficult, because there are a lot of detailed words like how do you swing your arm, how to play with a cock, and the rules of the game. So yes, I do not know it at a professional level, but learning it, the learning curve is a tad bit steep, which I feel. Though at a young age, with a proper trainer and everything, it becomes easy.

    The one outdoor sport I would like to do is badminton. From the beginning, from my childhood days, if I am not wrong, I was very fond of badminton. However, nowadays because of the busy schedule, I am not getting enough time and thing to play badminton. But badminton has been my forever love sport. Badminton is one of the outdoor sports where everyone can enjoy and have fun together. I started showing interest or like learning this badminton when I was young. That's because of my grandad. My grandad was a very big badminton player and because of him, I was very fond of it and I got to learn it as well. Moreover, nowadays I do play badminton whenever I get time with my friends and colleagues. However, it's a very rare thing now because I hardly get time to spend because of my busy schedule and my work. But due to the fondness of badminton, I do make some time for that as it's the only one thing which releases my tension and makes me more focusing and determined at the same time. Spending few hours for this physical activity enhances or boosts our mind as well. So, badminton is one of my favorite outdoor activity still now. I would say.
