So I would like to describe an activity which I enjoyed during my childhood and I was very much interested and dedicated towards that sport. I would like to talk about tennis. In the beginning I was very much reckless and careless about, like I was not aware and conscious of it, how to play, but eventually when I had done so much of practice with my good friends, like we were really up to the level. And for when I was about to start at the start, I was quite nervous and I always ended up in a wrong position and I would not, my servings were always out of the bounds, but I took it as a great challenge and I was very much fully mentally and physically prepared to somehow learn this game and actively concentrate in this. So after some practice I grasped and I made a progress which I really expected to become. It was quite a task, like hitting the ball with great amount of force. Sometimes I used to go off the balance, but it was a tough thing to learn. So I picked up like very, with very great small steps. So I think it was quite enthousiastic, it was quite refreshing for me and I was very enthusiastic about this.

So I would like to describe an activity that I enjoyed during my childhood, and I was very much interested and dedicated to that sport. I would like to talk about tennis. In the beginning, I was quite reckless and careless; I was not aware of how to play. But eventually, after practicing a lot with my good friends, we really improved our skills. When I was about to start, I was quite nervous, and I always ended up in the wrong position. My serves were always out of bounds, but I took it as a great challenge, and I was fully mentally and physically prepared to learn this game and concentrate on it. After some practice, I grasped the concepts and made the progress I expected. It was quite a task to hit the ball with a great amount of force. Sometimes I would lose my balance, but it was tough to learn. I made progress in very small steps. I think it was quite enthusiastic; it was refreshing for me, and I was very enthusiastic about this.
