To be honest, I’m a big fan of football and basketball and I consider myself a sport person. I really enjoy watching sport but there was one time I have watched a very unique sport.

To be honest, I'm a big fan of football and basketball, and I consider myself a sports person. I really enjoy watching sports, but there was one time I watched a very unique sport. It's called hockey. To me, the most specific is ice hockey. There was a time when I came back from a party and stayed at my friend's home. I turned on the TV, and it was the BBC channel, and I saw they were broadcasting an ice hockey match between the New York team and also Atlanta. At that moment, I felt really interested and curious because it was my first time watching ice hockey with my friends. There are five players on each team, and they are divided into two teams, and they play in three periods. There are 20 minutes in each period, and at that moment, I just felt like, what the hell is this sport, and what does it mean? It's really unique, and they play on ice. The special thing about this sport is that they have a 1v1 as well. It's called the knockout rounds. The two players who often have some argument in the match can drop their equipment and have a 5v1 on 1 to resolve their anger issues. I think that's a really special aspect of this sport. Moreover, I think I would like to try it in the future when I visit a foreign country that has a really cold winter because in Vietnam, we don't have much snow, and of course, we cannot play ice hockey.
