My favourite game is Badminton. I like it because it contains mind and body exercise.
It devleops our mind focus. It is also a pass time game. It contains two or four people .
I play badminton every evening with my sister. When my friends come for a visit, I
play badminton with them too as my friends like it too. Playing an outdoor game gives
us lots of benefits like it provides us fresh air, strenghens our muscles etc., that is why
I love to play badminton. I chose Badminton as my activity in school. I love badminton.

Badminton is my favorite sport. It is the fastest racket game in the world. It is

played with rackets and a shuttlecock. The shuttlecock is made from goose
feathers pushed into a small piece of cork. Badminton rackets are very light. They
normally weigh from 90 grams to about 110 grams. The smash of the shuttlecock
can travel up to 260km per hour.
There are six main shots: the serve, the clear, the drop, the
smash, the forehand drive and the backhand drive. The court on which badminton
is played is in the shape of a rectangle and is divided in half by a net. When there
are only two players, one on each side of the net, it is a singles game. Badminton
takes its name from the home of the Duke of Beaufort, Badminton House in
Gloucestershire, England where the first game of badminton was played.
I love badminton because it is good exercise and a lot of my
friends play. I play a lots of competitions with my friend Aoife Boyle. My
brother Conor also plays. He and eight others played in the All-Ireland final.
They came second in Ireland.
