I like to spend my leisure time with many activities; for example, badminton, hiking, jogging, swimming, kayaking, and many more. However, I like to play badminton the most because it is the games I played most. Badminton is a very common game in Malaysia, almost everybody play badminton before and we have a lot of badminton clubs all around the country. My father used to play badminton since he was young, so I do not learn my skills from any personal trainers or school trainer. I played with him sometimes when he is at home, but I never take it seriously until I really started to practice badminton hardly when I was I in high school. This is because I was in my school badminton team, so I had to train very hard so I could be able to compete with team from other school. After I graduate from high school, I still play badminton with my friends very often. We always play in a court near my house or in the club. We also gather some money to buy shuttlecocks to play because good quality shuttlecocks cost a lot and they are easy to damage. Now I joined a badminton club in UCR and we do train every week. I was pretty surprised when I join this club; I never expected to play badminton again in U.S. This is an amazing club which most of its member are from main campus student. Therefore I get know many people from main campus, maybe this is a kind of ways to get to know more friends.

Andy,
ReplyDeleteI think it is so cool that you have joined the club on campus! What a great way for you to make friends from main campus- and maybe even native English speakers! Badminton is a popular recreation here in the U.S. as well, but I think we play it more leisurely that you might back home. I love to play with my friends and family when we have a BBQ party or something like that. My husband and I often play together just the two of us too! Maybe we will get a chance to play together some time!
After I read your blog,I was encouraged to play tennis here.I didn't know that you joined the club in main campus. A teacher in my elective class wants us to join the club in main campus,but I can't find any club that I'm interested in.Therefore,I'm still looking for the club, and I want to find one until the next quater starts.I think it is going to be a good experience for you that you belong to the club in the United State.In addition,you said you could make friends in main campus,so that is why I want to join the club.You can enjoy both badminton and English there.I want to know how you find the club.They have a lots of club,so I don't know how I can decide which club I join.Then,I am surprised that badminton is a common sport in Malaysia,and you play too.I belonged to the tennis club when I was a junior high school student.I also realized it was different from playing with my friens.It was for winning the game,and I had to practice a lot after school.It was hard time for me;however,it made me stronger and feel good.Your blog reminds me of my school days.If I have a chance to join the club,I want to enjoy it like you do.
