　　2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析：将来想学的运动

　　Describe a sport you would like to learn in the future.

　　You should say:

　　What it is

　　When you first learned it

　　Whether it is difficult

　　And explain why you would like to learn it

　　I would really like to learn to play tennis. It has become increasingly popular these days, and I think it’s a great sport. I first watched it on television, as a child, because my mother always followed tennis and watched Wimbledon. I always enjoyed the dynamics of the game, the running around, chasing the ball, the speed, the power of the rallies…It’s a game where you have to be really physically fit but have excellent hand-eye co-ordination too. It’s much faster than badminton and requires more strength and agility I think. I think it’s easy enough to play tennis in a simple way with a friend, but if you want to be really good at tennis, and play against really good players, then you have to have lessons, proper coaching you know, and really practice a lot and practice very regularly. I don’t really know any places near to where I live where I can have proper tennis lessons, so I haven’t had the chance yet, but when we move house I am going to make an effort to find a tennis club nearby and start taking beginner’s lessons. I’d really like to learn how to play tennis properly and become a good tennis player. I think it’s a great form of exercise and an exciting sport. Also, if I’m honest, I quite like the culture of the game… the etiquette, the really cool skirts and tennis outfits and the whole environment that surrounds the game. I could really get into this!

　　Part3

　　1. What are the benefits of doing sports?

　　There are multiple benefits of doing sports – both physical benefits and mental benefits. For example, as we all know, sports keep you physically fit and in good shape. Many sports offer good cardiovascular exercise. They’re also very good for one’s mental health – it’ proven that doing physical exercise releases chemicals in the brain which make people feel happier, more confident and more alert. So, sports provide a lot of mental and physical benefits – not to mention team sports; they teach us cooperation, working with others strategically towards a common goal, as a team. This is always good.

　　2. What is the difference between playing sports on your own and playing sports in a group?

　　There’s quite a significant difference actually. Playing sports in a group or a team help us develop teamwork skills – working with others, co-ordinating strategies with other people, and working together towards a common goal. Individual sports tend to be more personal – you’re aiming to beat a personal record and you have to have a lot of intrinsic motivation and determination to get ahead in these kinds of sports. And be someone who can motivate oneself alone, rather than alongside other people in a team.

　　3. Do you think international sport can help ease conflicts between different countries?

　　Yes, I think so. Sports go beyond cultural and political differences and I think that it’s very important that people from different countries recognize their common humanity and put aside these kind of differences that can cause people to disagree, not see eye-to-eye, and even fall out. Sports are unifying rather than dividing – or at least they can be if we approach them with the right attitude.
