Well, there are many kinds of sports which I like learning these days but I would like the most to learn football which is called the king of sports. There are plenty of other popular sports but not the same degree as soccer. Football is a popular sport in almost all countries in the world. Basically it’s a collective game with two teams and each team has 11 players. The main purpose is that players try to keep their goals safe and kick the ball to the net of their opponents and the team which has high scores will win. I’m planning to learn it at the school where I’m currently studying. In fact, our school has a nice arrangement to learn football. A good number of students take part in it every day and among them I have some of my classmates as well. Besides, I’m planning to watch some YouTube videos tutorials on how to play football properly. I believe learning the basics to play football would not be as much difficult for me but I’m also convinced that playing like a professional is quite hard as it requires dedication, a lot of practice and skills. I guess I think I will need at least a year to practice and commitment to reach that level.
