41. Describe a course you would like to study (or, do). Flashcards
- Describe a course you would like to study (or, do).
You should say:
+ what course it is (or, would be)
+ where you would do it
+ what you would learn in that course
And explain why you would like to do this course.
I first know about skying when I was in Japan two years ago. I watched my friends play it many times before attempting to try but unluckily i couldn’t learn it with that short of time. That why I would like to take a skiing course to study to play this sport.
I believe this sport is quire difficult to play since it requires great balancing skills. In addition, the person has to be very flexible and courageous [kə’reidʒəs] when doing this sport. Fortunately, during the next 6 months I have chance to stay in Japan again so I’m planing to try to learn this sport seriously.
There are a number of reasons that I love this sport but I guess the most important thing is that I come from a tropical country. So I don‟t get to experience about ice and snow that why skying was new to me.
Watching my friend’s performance on snow amazed me. I couldn‟t imagine how people could do such a difficult thing. In addition to this, people often play skying on a mountain and the view is very spectacular. All of these things encouraged me a lot to play this sport.
