We live in San Francisco and the Pacific Ocean is very good to do this sport because you need water and wind.“ swimming surfing windsurfing scuba diving water skiing Binh: “What’s special about my favourite sport is that you can’t do it all year round because there’s one thing you need: snow. But that’s not the only thing; you also need mountains to do it. Of course, you need some special equipment: special shoes, a board and warm clothing that’s waterproof.” snowboarding skiing rock climbing ski jumping hiking Pilar: “There are people who say that my favourite sport isn’t really a sport, but that’s not true. You need to concentrate and focus on many things at the same time. You don’t play in a team, but you’re not alone when doing this sport – you work with a living creature. She’s my best friend; her name is Misty.” horse riding polo golf skiing judo Frances: “If you want to do my favourite sport, you need two to four people. In your right or left hand, you have a racket. You need the racket to hit a ball across the net. That’s not always easy because the ball is really small and the table you need isn’t very big either.” squash badminton table tennis tennis baseball b) What’s your opinion of these sports?
