Band 7 Answer

A sport I would really like to try is rock climbing. I first heard about it from some friends who are very enthusiastic about outdoor activities.

I would like to try rock climbing sometime next year, ideally during the summer when the weather is nice. I think it would be exciting and challenging to climb natural rock formations or indoor climbing walls.

The reason I want to try this sport is that it looks like a great way to improve physical strength and mental focus. It also seems like a fun way to enjoy nature and test my limits. I believe trying rock climbing would be a rewarding experience.

Band 8 Answer

One sport I’m keen to try is surfing. I became interested in surfing after watching several documentaries and videos showing surfers riding huge waves with great skill and balance.

I hope to try surfing during my next vacation, which will be at a coastal area famous for good surfing conditions. I plan to take some beginner lessons to learn the basics safely.

What attracts me to surfing is not only the physical challenge but also the connection with the ocean and nature it offers. It requires strength, coordination, and perseverance, which I find appealing. I’m also excited about the sense of freedom and adrenaline rush that comes with riding the waves. Overall, surfing seems like an adventurous and fulfilling sport to experience.
