Today I would like to talk about sports competition I have took part in. So last year my college organized a sports competition in which I decided to participate in badminton competition because all of my friends were taking part in it and so I also decided to take part in it. So because badminton is my favourite game, favourite sport and I have been a visitor and I have been playing it since my childhood. First time I played it when I was in 6th grade and it was my father who taught me about it. But the game consisted of four rounds and surprisingly I cleared all the four rounds and qualified for the final round. Initially I felt nervous but after some time I felt confident at last and I won the match. I felt really happy and delighted after that principle awarded me with a medal and trophy. Although, badminton is not only a game to me but it reminds me of all those wonderful memories I had spent with my father. So, I would love to continue playing it in my future. Thank you.
