Male Female

I've been joining the volleyball competition recently, and this is the first time that I participate in a sporting event, so I am quite excited for this. I think when people are playing for the ball, they need to focus on where the ball is, control the ball, pass the ball, and collaborate perfectly with their teammates. I think it is quite hard to control the ball accurately because we can miss the ball easily, but we also need to overcome these difficulties in order to win the game. So I think when people are playing volleyball, we encourage each other and collaborate with one another, just like when we are having our exercise training. I think a valuable competition is full of joy because there are many audiences and many people in the game, so I think it is quite a memorable experience for me.
