Sample Answers

What sports do you like? I'm really into basketball, mainly because I love the fast-paced action and the thrill of sinking a three-pointer. Plus, it's a great way to stay in shape and relieve stress.

Where did you learn to do sports? I actually learned to play sports in school, specifically in gym class. Our teacher was super enthusiastic and made sure we all got to try out different sports, which is how I discovered my passion for basketball.

Did you do sports when you were young? Yeah, I was a total sports nut when I was a kid. My parents signed me up for Little League baseball and soccer, and I just fell in love with the competition and teamwork aspect of it all. It's amazing how much it shaped my childhood, to be honest.

Do you think students need more exercise? Absolutely, I think students need more exercise. Sitting in class all day can be pretty sedentary, and it's essential for kids to get their hearts pumping and burn off some energy. Exercise has been proven to improve focus and productivity, so it's a win-win, if you ask me.
