Sample Answers

Do you like to watch sports on TV? Yeah, I do enjoy watching sports on TV, especially when my favorite team is playing. It's a great way to relax and unwind after a long day. Plus, it's always exciting to see the athletes' skills and strategies in action. I find it really inspiring to watch them push themselves to be their best.

Do you play any sports? I used to play basketball in high school, and I really enjoyed it. I liked the team aspect of it, working together with my friends to achieve a common goal. Although I don't have as much time to play now, I still try to stay active by going for runs or playing pick-up games with friends.

Do you have a favorite sports star? Yeah, I'm a big fan of LeBron James. I admire his work ethic and dedication to his craft. He's an amazing player, and his philanthropic efforts off the court are really inspiring. I think he's a great role model for young athletes.

What kinds of sports are popular in your country? In the US, American football, basketball, and baseball are really popular. I think it's because they're all high-energy sports with a lot of action and excitement. Plus, they're all big spectator sports, so people love to watch them on TV or in person.

What kinds of sports would you like to try in the future? I've always been interested in trying rock climbing. I think it would be a great way to challenge myself physically and mentally. I've heard it's a really rewarding sport, and I'd love to give it a shot.
