The teachers spoke English very clearly, it wasn't too accented so it was easy for non-natives to understand. I watched it without english subtitles. Thank you very much😊
I totally like this "How to talk about Something" series... it really helps us, the non-native English learners, get a real impression of how it is to talk about something in a daily English life. 😃
I used to play table tennis in my office. Recently I don't play much of sports or do any exercise.I see the need of aome physical activity after sitting in an office for whole day. It can also help me socialize and feel fresh. I had previously played badminton and did swimming . I can still plan on getting the training again to be fit and healthy. I like to watch basketball and football , though i am not fanatic.
I used to be a football fan. I'd played football in every Saturday evening for a long time, as a midfield in a team of 5. For me, hanging out and having beer with friends after matches is important. Recently I've got into go jogging but I usually meet my former teammates for drinking after playing sport.
Great, thanks for sharing! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'I played football...' not, 'I'd'. 2) '...football every Saturday evening...' not, 'in every'. 3) '...got into jogging,' not, 'go jogging'. Hope this is useful for you!
I'm not athletic but I program to work out 4 times a week at home. 2 months ago I was playing football with my relatives. after the first game, I felt pain in my foot because before the game I had not got ready and warmup. sport for me is a way to keep in shape and stay healthy and staying outdoors with my relatives and make a good time

Sports is always helpful for people. It strengthens not only social bonding but also health. Sporty person is always been healthy and their life expectancy is more than that of general people. That is why i get into sports to be honest.
They are native speaker of English and l understand what they are talking about. Thank you all guys. You make me feel more enthusiastic to master English. Hope l can have a feedback from you guys 😁
I have many sports that I like. I used to go jogging once a week, but I also like cardio very much. I usually choose cardio because I love fast music. I have fun when I play Volleyball with my friend. I try to run every Saturday, but every day I go for a long walk. Sport is very important in our lives.
Thanks for sharing your response, Ania. Nice answer. Here is one suggestion for you: It's not necessary to capitalize sport names like 'volleyball'. Hope this helps you!
To be honest, I am not a sports fanatic, and I am not very athletic. Recently I did some sports exercises for losing weight and it was really challenging for me... But now I sometimes do stretching, because I am always in a sitting position and for this reason my body needs stretching. And also I like the feeling of getting some physical activity after sitting position all day. I really hope I someday I will love sports and I will do it every day for 20-30 minutes. As for stretching I do it usually at home two times a week. To do stretching, I need a special rug which I bought in WB. I usually watch videos on RUclips on Imagine Fitness chanel. This is a really usefull chanel where you can do stretching, thanks to this chanel I really became more flexible. Do sports, it is very good for your health!) take care.
I didn't use to play sports, but now I do a lot. I find playing badminton very relaxing. I am used to getting up early every morning and playing this kind of sport with my beloved mother at the end of our detached house. We usually play it for one and a half hours. I just like the feeling of getting some physical activity after sitting in the classroom for hours on end every single day. For me, the most crucial thing is spending quality time with my mother outdoors in the fresh air. I love competing. There's no better feeling than beating my mother after a tiring badminton match. I am not adept at yoga, and I only took it up a couple of weeks ago at a local gym near my house. It takes me about fifteen minutes to go there by my electric bike.I've been doing it for three months now. I'm into this kind of exercise because I can easily find equanimity through it. Practicing yoga regularly also helps me increase productivity at work.

Thank u for the lessons " Well, to be honest , I'm not a fanatic, however, I have been playing badminton since my teacher taught me about this sport which is considered as a fundamental subject at school. Having immersted in this sport for the part of the last 4 years, I find it really captivating . Now, I often play badminton in daily afternoon after a hectic working schedule so as to refresh my mind and recharge my batteries for the next day."
Thanks for sharing, Thao. Nicely done! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'Having been immersed in this sport...' not, 'Having immersted in this sport...' 2) '...play badminton every afternoon...' not, 'in daily afternoon'. Hope this helps you!
I really enjoyed playing football. I play three times a week with my friends. I started playing football when I was young. I was very good at playing football, but now I got old. So that, I can't play it the way I used to.

I find playing sports weirdly fascinating .I love to play and watch sports such as foot ball.I play football in the playground with my friends.For me the most important part is spending time out side with companions.I don't care about winning.Just want to enjoy some fresh air.

I love sport by some reasons, although i am not fanatic. Firstly, i love do exercise and play football because it not only help me to stay fit and healthy but also to socialize and release stress. Plus, I extremely like the exhausted feeling after do exercise. Secondly, I love watching sport game on TV, especially Olympic game because it is not only diverse in kinds of games which never makes you bored, but also through the game, you can understand more about culture and people from all over the world
Great, Diep! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'I love sport for some reasons...' not, 'by'. 2) '...I am not a fanatic,' not, '...i am not fanatic'. 3) 'Firstly, I love to do exercise...' not, 'Firstly, i love do exercise'. Hope this is useful for you!

I love football and i hope i will play for a football club one day .

I really enjoy your lessons especially "How to talk about... " I enjoy some sports though I'm not a fanatic. My mother got me into playing volleyball. I used to play it at school and at the university. I participated in some games at a local sports hall but I don't play anymore because of the lack of time. The process of the game is more important to me than a victory. As my city is located by the sea I've learned how to swim. I go swimming in the sea every summer and sometimes in autumn. It's easier for me to do individual sports than play team games because of my work schedule. So I started going on fitness sessions and doing pilates which is very relaxing. Though I miss volleyball session where we learned how to cooperate and had a lot of fun.
To be honest, I'm not really sporty and I've always found watching sports rather dull. The only sport I've ever played is football. The reason why I played football was that it was a great way to hang out with my friends while doing some exercise. We used to play five-a-side football every saturday night. However we haven't played since the pandemic started (and I haven't seen them either). So what I do now is dance workout as it is an indoor activity and it's great for improving your fitness, too. I really got into it a couple of months ago. The best part of it is that you can find tons of dance workout videos on youtube so you can do it on your own in the comfort of your home.
Hi Romina. Thanks for watching the lesson and sharing your response. You used some excellent phrases. Nice job. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) Don't forget the comma here: 'However, we haven't...' 2) '...is a dance workout,' or, '...are dance workouts,' not, '...is dance workout.' Hope this is useful for you!
I'm not that into sport, to be honest. I'm not very athletic but I found doing yoga very relaxing. I started doing yoga three months ago. I go to the class twice a week at the yoga center near my house. At first, I wanted a new hobby and I liked the physical activities after sitting in an office all day. But, I really enjoy doing yoga and I think I'll start training more regularly. Because, I aware that my body is getting fit as well as my mind is calm. I love doing yoga in the morning to get much more energy for the whole day and I can't live without it.
Hi Shwe Yin. Thanks for watching this lesson and sharing your response about sports. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) It may be better to say, 'I find doing yoga very relaxing,' rather than, 'found.' 2) '...liked doing physical activity after sitting...' may be what you meant instead of, '...liked the physical activities after sitting...' 3) '...regularly because I am aware that...' not, '... regularly. Because, I aware that...' Hope this is useful for you!
I have always been really sporty Though I’m not a fantastic. Football is one of the most popular sports in the world, and I have been playing since I was kid , I play 5- a-side football with some friends every Sunday. We rent a sports hall and play a 120 minute match. For me, the most important thing is the social side. I don’t really care about the game, or who wins. I just like having a lough with some good friends. I often play twice a week also I have matches once a week, sometimes in our town and sometimes in other cities that helps me strengthen my muscles because while playing, I have to move continuously. It is good to burn calories as well and no batter feeling than when you’re tired after a good game. I find watching football either offline or online. Going to the stadium, shouting and cheering are good to release stress also to hang out with some of your friends and relax. My favourite team that I like is Barcelona football club. Sports are sources of recreation. People can learn how to encourage team spirit when they play sports , too.
I enjoy some sport though. I'm not a fanatic, playing football or something like that can be fun, but I don't want to take it to seriously and I find watching sport quite boring however swimming very relaxing for me . When I was in Ukraine and at my school I played volleyball but I found volleyball much more difficult to play then I was expecting .I played twice a week and after school I and my beast friends played badminton .I really enjoyed it .I didn't really care about the game who wins we played for about 1 hour . I just played with my friends and had a good time . In English school I did dance but I didn't was good dancer and I really didn't want to did like this, so now I do dance in my town in sports center once a week I from Ukraine and most people support all sport especially football, basketball and dance .
I've never done sport seriously. And I find doing sport difficult. But in free time I like cycling. I prefer doing that on my own. That makes me feel better when I'm alone with my thoughts.
Thanks for watching and sharing your response! A few tips: - Try not to begin sentences with conjunctions. Instead of, '...seriously. And I find doing sport difficult. But in...' you could say, '...seriously, and I find doing sport difficult, but in...' Hope this helps you!
At the time of the bachelor. I had a sports course. before the course, I wasn't sporting at school. the first day I went to the hall I saw the other students so happy but I had not happy. the teacher told us to run for 10 minutes. after 3 minutes I was very tired and I couldn't run. after the class, all of my muscles have ached. but I found the sport is a good way to stay healthy but I'm lazy and did not continue the exercising
This is the best way of teaching a language I reckon. Have watched many RUclips videos but never came across any tutor who follow a such scientific method like this... You guys are awesome 👍 keep on doing good work 🙏
I'm not fond of sports that much however, a healthy lifestyle is important to me. That's why I decided to go to the gym. One of my favourite work out is lifting weights. It feels like I'm stronger than others and helps me a lot in my work as well. Like if I'm going to carry some heavy stuff it's advantageous for me since I'm quite capable of lifting heavy things. "Please do correct my sentence here teachers." Thanks.🥰
Thanks for watching and sharing your response. You used some great phrases. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'One of my favourite workouts is...' not, 'One of my favourite work out is...' 2) 'For example, if I'm going to carry...' not, 'Like if I'm going to carry...' Hope this is useful for you!
I am very keen on swimming especially in seawater because I live in a coastal city which has a very nice and clean beach. I don’t like working out in a gym or swimming in a pool. I prefer outdoor activities. anyhow, swimming keeps me fit and healthy in good shape. I am not a professional sportsman.
Thank you for your lesson. To be honest, I enjoy practising some sports, but I'm not a fanatic. I'm interested in playing badminton and going swimming, but I don't want to take it too seriously. I live by the sea, therefore, I usually go swimming with my friend there. It takes me three a week to enjoy the beach. I have loved it since I was young. For me, Swimming is very fun and relaxing and I can hang out with my friend. Furthermore, I do like feeling healthy, keeping fit and improving my flexibility. Swimming is a wonderful sport.
Thanks for sharing your response, Thi! Here are some corrections for you: 1) What do you mean, 'It takes me three a week to enjoy the beach'? Did you mean, 'I go to the beach three times a week'? 2) It's not necessary to capitalize 'swimming' in the middle of a sentence. Hope this is useful for you!
I really like your lessons and the way you teach. I've always been interested in sport. I played football at school and in the streets, but recently I got into the gym thrice a week. I generally like sports but I'm not a fanatic playing football or something like that can be fun, but I don't take it too seriously. In fact I just like the feeling of getting physicall activity like doing some weight training session after getting back from the school. For me the most important thing is just staying healthy and and spending time outdoors in the fresh air.

Personally I enjoy do some sports but I’m not fanatic. When I was child I play football with my friend and it was very funny. Recently I do some basic exercise for example push up, push down and some exercise with free weight. To be honest I want to go gym but l don’t have free time for that but in the future I definitely go there because sports the most important in our life. Do any activity related sports, it will help to keep healthy.

I enjoy some sports, though I'm not a fanatic. At the beginning, I started a few yoga classes at a studio near my house. For a while, I find yoga absolutely amazing as there's no better feeling than relax after a tiring section. For nearly a year, I practiced yoga everyday. For me, yoga classes is also a social side to meet some friends at weekend. However, I do not take that too seriously.

For instance, I often do exercise with my sister and rarely by myself. I just like the feeling of doing some helthy and having a good time. Actually, I think that it can be pretty fun if we suit to our way of training. In othe news, I fancy doing Tai Chi thought I'm not take it too seriously. I just do it because I find it quite relaxing and de-stressing. In addition, I do it often on the mornings after get up but sometimes in the afternoon with my sister, as well.

I cannot decide that I am a sport fan or not ,it depends on what we want to mean when we say a sport if you want mean that sport means is doing social activity with your team like football,basketball, hockey etc. or if it is more individual like tennis,swimming,cycling etc. I can category myself to more individual things because I am really interested to dance 💃 and do exercise Nevertheless,I have always been interested watching sport except soccer So ,the only sport I can say that I like to do is swimming because it helps you to get rid of your stress and divert you to feel more freedom in my opinion At the same time ,when I was child My brother had me to play tennis and I was used to playing tennis often but now I am not used to playing tennis often I occasionally play tennis but when I was a child ,I used to do Far East martial Arts

I used to play table tennis in my office. Recently I don't play much of sports or do any exercise.I see the need of aome physical activity after sitting in an office for whole day. It can also help me socialize and feel fresh. I had previously played badminton and did swimming . I can still plan on getting the training again to be fit and healthy. I like to watch basketball and football , though i am not fanatic.
I used to be a football fan. I'd played football in every Saturday evening for a long time, as a midfield in a team of 5. For me, hanging out and having beer with friends after matches is important. Recently I've got into go jogging but I usually meet my former teammates for drinking after playing sport.

I have many sports that I like. I used to go jogging once a week, but I also like cardio very much. I usually choose cardio because I love fast music. I have fun when I play Volleyball with my friend. I try to run every Saturday, but every day I go for a long walk.
Sport is very important in our lives.
Thanks for sharing your response, Ania. Nice answer. Here is one suggestion for you:
It's not necessary to capitalize sport names like 'volleyball'.
Hope this helps you!
To be honest, I am not a sports fanatic, and I am not very athletic. Recently I did some sports exercises for losing weight and it was really challenging for me... But now I sometimes do stretching, because I am always in a sitting position and for this reason my body needs stretching. And also I like the feeling of getting some physical activity after sitting position all day. I really hope I someday I will love sports and I will do it every day for 20-30 minutes.
As for stretching I do it usually at home two times a week. To do stretching, I need a special rug which I bought in WB. I usually watch videos on RUclips on Imagine Fitness chanel. This is a really usefull chanel where you can do stretching, thanks to this chanel I really became more flexible.
Do sports, it is very good for your health!)
take care.
I didn't use to play sports, but now I do a lot. I find playing badminton very relaxing. I am used to getting up early every morning and playing this kind of sport with my beloved mother at the end of our detached house. We usually play it for one and a half hours. I just like the feeling of getting some physical activity after sitting in the classroom for hours on end every single day. For me, the most crucial thing is spending quality time with my mother outdoors in the fresh air. I love competing. There's no better feeling than beating my mother after a tiring badminton match. I am not adept at yoga, and I only took it up a couple of weeks ago at a local gym near my house. It takes me about fifteen minutes to go there by my electric bike.I've been doing it for three months now. I'm into this kind of exercise because I can easily find equanimity through it. Practicing yoga regularly also helps me increase productivity at work.
Excellent response! Very nicely done!

" Well, to be honest , I'm not a fanatic, however, I have been playing badminton since my teacher taught me about this sport which is considered as a fundamental subject at school. Having immersted in this sport for the part of the last 4 years, I find it really captivating . Now, I often play badminton in daily afternoon after a hectic working schedule so as to refresh my mind and recharge my batteries for the next day."
Thanks for sharing, Thao. Nicely done! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'Having been immersed in this sport...' not, 'Having immersted in this sport...'
2) '...play badminton every afternoon...' not, 'in daily afternoon'.
Hope this helps you!
I really enjoyed playing football. I play three times a week with my friends. I started playing football when I was young. I was very good at playing football, but now I got old. So that, I can't play it the way I used to.
Great response, Ahmed. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) If it's not true now, you can say: 'I used to play three times a week...' not, 'I play'.
2) '...but I got old,' or, '...but now I am old,' not, '...but now I got old'.
3) 'So I can't play it...' not, 'So that, I can't play it...'
Hope this helps you!

I love sport by some reasons, although i am not fanatic. Firstly, i love do exercise and play football because it not only help me to stay fit and healthy but also to socialize and release stress. Plus, I extremely like the exhausted feeling after do exercise. Secondly, I love watching sport game on TV, especially Olympic game because it is not only diverse in kinds of games which never makes you bored, but also through the game, you can understand more about culture and people from all over the world

Marvelous!..I'm very excited to be here,thank you.
I like your channel. It's clear and informative.
Thanks for your lesson. It's amazing.
You are welcome, Daoud!
I really enjoy your lessons especially "How to talk about... " I enjoy some sports though I'm not a fanatic. My mother got me into playing volleyball. I used to play it at school and at the university. I participated in some games at a local sports hall but I don't play anymore because of the lack of time. The process of the game is more important to me than a victory.
As my city is located by the sea I've learned how to swim. I go swimming in the sea every summer and sometimes in autumn.
It's easier for me to do individual sports than play team games because of my work schedule. So I started going on fitness sessions and doing pilates which is very relaxing. Though I miss volleyball session where we learned how to cooperate and had a lot of fun.
I enjoy watching football, rugby, gymnastics on televisions
I love this lesson, it's great and interesting. God bless you. Thank you stay safe !
We're so glad you liked it, Herode!
To be honest, I'm not really sporty and I've always found watching sports rather dull. The only sport I've ever played is football. The reason why I played football was that it was a great way to hang out with my friends while doing some exercise. We used to play five-a-side football every saturday night. However we haven't played since the pandemic started (and I haven't seen them either). So what I do now is dance workout as it is an indoor activity and it's great for improving your fitness, too. I really got into it a couple of months ago. The best part of it is that you can find tons of dance workout videos on youtube so you can do it on your own in the comfort of your home.
Hi Romina. Thanks for watching the lesson and sharing your response. You used some excellent phrases. Nice job. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) Don't forget the comma here: 'However, we haven't...'
2) '...is a dance workout,' or, '...are dance workouts,' not, '...is dance workout.'
Hope this is useful for you!
this teacher his voice is good
I'm not that into sport, to be honest. I'm not very athletic but I found doing yoga very relaxing. I started doing yoga three months ago. I go to the class twice a week at the yoga center near my house. At first, I wanted a new hobby and I liked the physical activities after sitting in an office all day. But, I really enjoy doing yoga and I think I'll start training more regularly. Because, I aware that my body is getting fit as well as my mind is calm. I love doing yoga in the morning to get much more energy for the whole day and I can't live without it.
Hi Shwe Yin. Thanks for watching this lesson and sharing your response about sports. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) It may be better to say, 'I find doing yoga very relaxing,' rather than, 'found.'
2) '...liked doing physical activity after sitting...' may be what you meant instead of, '...liked the physical activities after sitting...'
3) '...regularly because I am aware that...' not, '... regularly. Because, I aware that...'
Hope this is useful for you!

I have always been really sporty
Though I’m not a fantastic. Football is one of the most popular sports in the world, and I have been playing since I was kid , I play 5- a-side football with some friends every Sunday. We rent a sports hall and play a 120 minute match. For me, the most important thing is the social side. I don’t really care about the game, or who wins. I just like having a lough with some good friends.
I often play twice a week also I have matches once a week, sometimes in our town and sometimes in other cities that helps me strengthen my muscles because while playing, I have to move continuously. It is good to burn calories as well and no batter feeling than when you’re tired after a good game. I find watching football either offline or online.
Going to the stadium, shouting and cheering are good to release stress also to hang out with some of your friends and relax. My favourite team that I like is Barcelona football club.
Sports are sources of recreation. People can learn how to encourage team spirit when they play sports , too.
Thanks for the all
I master fluency by listenning your videos, thank you.
Wonderful, Oscar! Thanks for watching!
I enjoy some sport though. I'm not a fanatic, playing football or something like that can be fun, but I don't want to take it to seriously and I find watching sport quite boring however swimming very relaxing for me . When I was in Ukraine and at my school I played volleyball but I found volleyball much more difficult to play then I was expecting .I played twice a week and after school I and my beast friends played badminton .I really enjoyed it .I didn't really care about the game who wins we played for about 1 hour . I just played with my friends and had a good time .
In English school I did dance but I didn't was good dancer and I really didn't want to did like this, so now I do dance in my town in sports center once a week
I from Ukraine and most people support all sport especially football, basketball and dance .
Personally I do sport not to compete but I do it to feel more relaxed
Thank you very much for this excellent video. It's very helpful!
Good
I've never done sport seriously. And I find doing sport difficult. But in free time I like cycling. I prefer doing that on my own. That makes me feel better when I'm alone with my thoughts.
Thanks for watching and sharing your response! A few tips:
- Try not to begin sentences with conjunctions. Instead of, '...seriously. And I find doing sport difficult. But in...' you could say, '...seriously, and I find doing sport difficult, but in...'
Hope this helps you!
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 thanks a lot!
To be honest I am not a big fan of sport.but I play sports such as swimming since I found it easy and I can be healthy simultaneously.
so useful today I've class with my teacher about this topic thanks a lot
It is awesome lesson thank you so much i hope you give the best lesson next time.
Thank you!
Hello welcome you video good parfomars thak you
Thanks, Daro!
Thank you it’s amazing 💐
We're glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
At the time of the bachelor. I had a sports course. before the course, I wasn't sporting at school. the first day I went to the hall I saw the other students so happy but I had not happy. the teacher told us to run for 10 minutes. after 3 minutes I was very tired and I couldn't run. after the class, all of my muscles have ached. but I found the sport is a good way to stay healthy but I'm lazy and did not continue the exercising
This is the best way of teaching a language I reckon. Have watched many RUclips videos but never came across any tutor who follow a such scientific method like this... You guys are awesome 👍 keep on doing good work 🙏
Really great learning.
Hi, thank you so much.
It is really useful. But if your conversation may be less fast, especially the girl??
Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback, Ahmed! You can also adjust the speed on the video player to slow it down if that helps!
I'm not fond of sports that much however, a healthy lifestyle is important to me. That's why I decided to go to the gym. One of my favourite work out is lifting weights. It feels like I'm stronger than others and helps me a lot in my work as well. Like if I'm going to carry some heavy stuff it's advantageous for me since I'm quite capable of lifting heavy things.
"Please do correct my sentence here teachers." Thanks.🥰
Thanks for watching and sharing your response. You used some great phrases. Here are some corrections for you:
1) 'One of my favourite workouts is...' not, 'One of my favourite work out is...'
2) 'For example, if I'm going to carry...' not, 'Like if I'm going to carry...'
Hope this is useful for you!

I am very keen on swimming especially in seawater because I live in a coastal city which has a very nice and clean beach. I don’t like working out in a gym or swimming in a pool. I prefer outdoor activities. anyhow, swimming keeps me fit and healthy in good shape. I am not a professional sportsman.
Thank you for your lesson.
To be honest, I enjoy practising some sports, but I'm not a fanatic. I'm interested in playing badminton and going swimming, but I don't want to take it too seriously. I live by the sea, therefore, I usually go swimming with my friend there. It takes me three a week to enjoy the beach. I have loved it since I was young. For me, Swimming is very fun and relaxing and I can hang out with my friend. Furthermore, I do like feeling healthy, keeping fit and improving my flexibility. Swimming is a wonderful sport.
Thanks for sharing your response, Thi! Here are some corrections for you:
1) What do you mean, 'It takes me three a week to enjoy the beach'? Did you mean, 'I go to the beach three times a week'?
2) It's not necessary to capitalize 'swimming' in the middle of a sentence.
Hope this is useful for you!
I really like your lessons and the way you teach. I've always been interested in sport. I played football at school and in the streets, but recently I got into the gym thrice a week. I generally like sports but I'm not a fanatic playing football or something like that can be fun, but I don't take it too seriously. In fact I just like the feeling of getting physicall activity like doing some weight training session after getting back from the school. For me the most important thing is just staying healthy and and spending time outdoors in the fresh air.
Thanks for sharing your great response. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '...I got into going to the gym,' not, 'I got into the gym'.
2) '...not a fanatic. Playing football or something like that can be fun...' not, '...playing football or something like that can be fun...'.
3) '...the feeling of doing physical activity,' not, '...the feeling of getting physicall activity'.
Hope this helps you!

I really enjoy playing soccer because fitness and stay healthy are important to me. Next to it have to make friend and socialize side. My team have 7 members and rent a sports hall. I don't really care about the game or who wins. I just having a laugh with some good friends.

Hope this is useful for you!
Personally I enjoy do some sports but I’m not fanatic. When I was child I play football with my friend and it was very funny. Recently I do some basic exercise for example push up, push down and some exercise with free weight. To be honest I want to go gym but l don’t have free time for that but in the future I definitely go there because sports the most important in our life. Do any activity related sports, it will help to keep healthy.

I enjoy some sports, though I'm not a fanatic. At the beginning, I started a few yoga classes at a studio near my house. For a while, I find yoga absolutely amazing as there's no better feeling than relax after a tiring section. For nearly a year, I practiced yoga everyday. For me, yoga classes is also a social side to meet some friends at weekend. However, I do not take that too seriously.

Hi, previous video was much much better . pleas can you leave them both . Oli love you
Thank you for the lesson, it really help us so much! Here's my long asnwer:
"Personally, I enjoy practicing sports however I'm not that into it. For instance, I often do exercise with my sister and rarely by myself. I just like the feeling of doing some helthy and having a good time. Actually, I think that it can be pretty fun if we suit to our way of training. In othe news, I fancy doing Tai Chi thought I'm not take it too seriously. I just do it because I find it quite relaxing and de-stressing. In addition, I do it often on the mornings after get up but sometimes in the afternoon with my sister, as well. For me, there's no better feeling than start the day in a calm mood.
Hi there. Thanks for watching the lesson. Here are some suggestions for your response:

I always do martial art everyday but except Sunday. Because, I'm a member of martial art Binh Phuoc team and I join the country prize every year and internation. Before, I ride the e-bicycle to the center but now, I have had motorbike, I really enjoy go by motorbike because of fast speed

I feel shame to answer this question that I dont play any sport. But I always like and want to play some sport beacase of my life burdens I can't get into it. Some time I play cricket with my friends just to hangout and get relax. We also used to go swimming every Saturday but now we can't go beacase all pools closed in this covid situation. As I mentioned before we went swimming just to relax once in a week. And also one of my friend and I joind gym and went only few months then we stopped beacase of busy schedule, but we paid for a year. Now I think I have wasted a lot of time I should have involved any sport, I'm going to join gym to become fit.

I cannot decide that I am a sport fan or not ,it depends on what we want to mean when we say a sport if you want mean that sport means is doing social activity with your team like football,basketball, hockey etc. or if it is more individual
like tennis,swimming,cycling etc.
I can category myself to more individual things because I am really interested to dance 💃 and do exercise
Nevertheless,I have always been interested watching sport except soccer
So ,the only sport I can say that I like to do is swimming because it helps you to get rid of your stress and divert you to feel more freedom in my opinion
At the same time ,when I was child
My brother had me to play tennis and I was used to playing tennis often but now I am not used to playing tennis often I occasionally play tennis but when I was a child ,I used to do Far East martial Arts
Thanks for sharing your response, Gulcin! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'I cannot decide if I am a sport fan or not,' not, 'I cannot decide that I am a sport fan or not'.
2) '...a sport. If you want to mean that...' not, '...a sport if you want mean that...'.
3) 'I can categorize myself...' not, 'category'.
