Band 8 Answer

I’d like to talk about my older brother, who persuaded me to join a local sports club. Initially, I wasn’t very keen on participating in sports as I preferred staying indoors and focusing on my studies. However, my brother highlighted the benefits of physical activity, such as improved health and social interaction. His encouragement was so compelling that I decided to give it a try. Since then, not only have I developed a passion for basketball, but I’ve also expanded my social circle and improved my overall well-being. I am genuinely grateful for his persuasion, which positively impacted my lifestyle.
