Chris / England

speaker I love playing rugby. I can't do it very often and usually when I do it I end up hurt for a week but it's a good kind of pain, and I like team games very much, so rugby is a good game to play for that.

 

Lindsay / United² States

speaker I love to play tennis. I think it's a really fun sport but I actually don't like to watch it. I think it's pretty boring to watch and I love to watch basketball.

It's very fast paced, and I love watching the players dunk, but I hate to play basketball cause I have really bad motor-reflexes and I can't dunk.
