It wasn’t easy to find 10 things to represent me as a person, but having thought harder about it, these are the ten things.
Most of the items have to do with sports because I enjoy playing sports. I have included a shuttlecock as badminton was the first racket sport I played, which I started when I was five. You can count this as a team spor,t but I'd rather play singles. When you are alone on the court, you can see if your skills are better but in a team, it is more about teamwork, although skills are important too. After I hit a shot perfectly on the net of the racket, it feels that the shot is unstoppable.
My second racket sport I played was tennis. That's why you can see a tennis ball on the floor, but I started late in tennis, about 3 years ago. To me, tennis is my preferred racket sport today although when I first started, I didn't quite enjoy it, as I struggled with backhand. I prefer tennis than badminton because for tennis, you use your whole arm and in badminton, you only use your wrist. So tennis you use more strength and it is easier because a wrist can't make you hit that hard.
The other sport I enjoy is soccer, which is why I chose a soccer ball. On the soccer ball, you can probably see a little red and yellow picture stuck onto the soccer ball. That is the soccer team I support, Manchester United. I have supported this team since I started to like soccer, which was two years ago. Soccer is a sport which requires a lot of teamwork and sometimes, when you pass to the opponent by mistake, and they score, the team has to understand that no one is to blame - not the keeper or not me for the horrible pass. So sometimes soccer can be frustrating, but nevertheless, I enjoy it. I still have lots of room for improvement as I am not very good at it.
On the floor, you can see a piece of paper colored in black, because black is my favourite color. I like the color because it represents darkness and mysteriousness. However, that does not mean that I like everything black as, sometimes I think lighter colors look better on some items. Since the color black is dark, it makes the other lighter colors stand out and the colors shine out.
You can also see a pack of UNO cards. I like to play UNO with my friends or siblings when I am bored. My friend taught me how to play UNO when I was about 5 years old and I have enjoyed it ever since. I am glad he thought me how to play, otherwise, I don't think I would know how to, till now. A packet of Doublemint chewing gum is on the floor - I like it too. You can see a book which I read and enjoyed a lot. My friend from my previous school introduced me to Stormbreaker, the first book, and since reading it, I have consciosuly made it a point to read all his books, including the other series. The author is Anthony Horowitz. My favourite book of his is Crocodile Tears. This book is the last book in the series. It is about this fourteen year old boy’s parents passing away, but he never got a chance to meet them. He then replaces his father and becomes a spy. I started reading the first series last year.
Last but not least, I enjoy music. There is the Guitar Hero game which was given to me for my birthday a year ago. I do not play it often enough, thus I am not very good at it, but I do enjoy it. It is probably the best wii game I have played so far. The other, is the clarinet - I started playing the clarinet since I joined ISKL. When I first started playing the clarinet, I found it to be quite easy after learning the first few basic notes. Now, as it gets increasingly more complicated and I join the intermediate band, I realise that it is not so easy after all!
Now, by describing 10 things related to me, I am sure you have a better understanding of myself. What 10 things best describe you?
