So the sport I want to talk about today is volleyball, one of the most popular sports that I haven't really gotten into recently. Up to today, even though it has been really popular in almost every decade, volleyball is not really my cup of tea. However, it appeared to me as an interesting sport when I watched some matches in the Olympic Games of 2022. It was around summer or fall when both my parents and I were free from work and school. I didn't have any burdens from my teachers, literature, or homework. We all watched together in front of the TV, very comfortably and filled with excitement from the matches. While watching some volleyball events, I felt excitement and started to have a positive view about how volleyball was played and the sportsmanship involved. Therefore, that was the time I felt that volleyball is quite amazing. Maybe if I have a chance, I would like to play it once. But up to today, I haven't had any chance to play it since my school can't afford any volleyball activities for me to participate in. So I hope in the future I will get a chance to play it once.
