Dear Ray,

Everyone has a different preference. Some people like to play basketball, some like to play chess, or some like to play soccer. I have another interest in the hobbies mentioned above. Do you want to know? If yes, then read on!

My favorite sport is playing badminton. After coming home from school, I usually spend my free time playing badminton. I feel happy when I see badminton balls flying around. In short, badminton is not only popular but also one of the best full body exercises a person can do. Besides the physical benefits, this is also a great recreational sport that helps you rest assured to continue a new day. Playing badminton also makes you move more flexibly.

I once read an article about badminton. They wrote: Running, jumping and hitting badminton burns fat at a rate of 450 calories/hour. This is a very effective cardio (cardiovascular) exercise that helps you improve your physique, especially if you want to combine it with another sport. Playing badminton also requires speed, so this sport will help you improve speed and reflexes. Sensitivity is also a factor because players must know how to deceive opponents.

If you want to try this sport, then go ahead and do it! Because it's good for your health!

Oh, I'm busy now. Shall I write to you another time? All right, bye-bye!

Your best friend

Khue
