  • Clearly state the outdoor sport you are interested in and provide a brief description of it.
  • Mention what attracts you to this sport, such as its physical benefits or the thrill it offers.

Example

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?

  • Identify a specific location where you would like to try paragliding, ideally a place known for this activity.
  • Explain why you chose this location, mentioning its scenic beauty or reputation for adventure sports.

Example

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.


Cue 3:How easy would it be to learn this sport?

  • Discuss the learning curve associated with the sport and any training required.
  • Mention any personal experiences or observations about how others have learned this sport.

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.

    So, you are asking what sport I would like to play, so I would like to play Cricket. Whenever I get time from my studies, Cricket is the thing that I would like to play the most. And yes, during my childhood, I'd play a lot of time with my father in our backyard. As Cricket is one of the most famous sport in India, that even old people play. And everyone have a great enthusiasm for Cricket. And yes, I tried that sport in my home. As I still remember during the 2019 Cricket World Cup, I was continuously watching all the matches of that World Cup of India. And I've noticed one bowler Bhumrah, who was bowling so beautifully and elegantly that he turned my pregnant mood into a joyful being. And then I started playing Cricket because of him. But yes, in Cricket, my idol is Amit Dhoni. And yes, you can play that sport very easily. If you want to learn that sport, you know, you just have to be a gentleman. You have to be a gentleman because, luckily, Cricket is known as a gentleman game as it is generated in England. So, it basically tests your patience. Sorry for bad pronunciation. WTF

    Even though I play a lot of sports, the one outdoor sports that I would like to give a try is basketball. I am a person who is short in stature and most of them might have thought that I won't be able to play basketball but when I see people playing basketball, when I see them running through the court, passing the ball, putting that ball in the net and happily gathering around to celebrate their victory, I feel very happy seeing them. So I always wanted to play basketball even though my stature is a hindrance for what I wanted to do. But still, if I get a possibility, I would like to play basketball and the primary thing is that I wanted to get hold of that ball which is very big in size according to my short hands but I would like to hold it and just I wanted everyone to run behind me to catch that ball and then I wanted to put that ball inside the net in order to see the victory.
