My hobbies Essay

Badminton is my favourite sport. It is the fastest racket game in the world. It is played with rackets and a shuttlecock. 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. I started playing badminton when I was old enough or strong enough to swing the rackets. I love racket sports, especially badminton because badminton involves a lot of running, stopping, and changing directions, it is very easy to become tired while playing. A high level of physical fitness is required for a person to play several games continuously. I usually last only about two games. After two games I usually just stand on the court, rather than running to get the shuttle. It’s in my blood but I rarely play anymore. Where I live now, it’s hard to find a partner to play with. One of my favourite hobbies is calligraphy. Learning proper calligraphy has been top of my to-do list for ages. Learning calligraphy will give you a much more intimate sense of each letter and it will help you to learn how to manipulate each one or many together to create a beautiful composition.The principal tool for a calligrapher are the pen, which may be flat- or round-nibbed, and the brush. For some decorative purposes, multi-nibbed pens, steel brushes can be used. Ink for writing is usually water-based and much less viscous than the oil based inks used in printing. High quality paper, which has good consistency of porosity, will enable cleaner lines. I am not that good at calligraphy still; I try to practice the strokes and curves in my leisure time. I believe that life is a learning experience and being able to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses can help us become better individuals in anything we choose to do, whether it is positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or negative personal areas that need improvement. Knowing yourself and what you can do, can help you recognize and overcome your weaknesses. One of my greatest strengths is that I am flexible person. I know how to adapt according to atmosphere. My positive attitude never fails me. I also enjoy having a good impact on peoples’ lives and  giving people a reason to smile. I am able to drift deep in thought and start imagining things basically anytime. I am interested in learning from others and my own mistakes easily. I can handle myself in difficult situation by sweet communication with patience. My weaknesses are that I am not expressive. I am someone who tends to shrink from social contacts and becomes preoccupied with my own thoughts. Stage fright is my biggest weakness. I am a person who shares less with others and tries to resolve problems by over thinking. I also over think even simple and minor things and end up complicating them. That is the downside of having too much alone time.
