March IELTS Speaking Test | Part 2 Answer

It was a long time ago, but I suppose it would have been playing in the school soccer team when I was in elementary school. I would have been about 10 years old at the time. I’d always loved playing soccer and spent most of my free time kicking a ball around either with friends or by myself. I was soccer mad, you could say.

We had sports classes at school, but the first time I was involved in an organized team was when my friend and I were selected for the school soccer team. We used to train once a week after classes and the soccer matches were usually on a Saturday morning; we used to play against other schools in the surrounding areas.

Our coach was the teacher responsible for Physical Education. He was really good and used to make us train hard when we were at the practice sessions. I can remember we used to have to do a lot o warming up exercises and running and then we’d also practice ball skills like dribbling, tackling, defending, passing and shooting. Usually we’d finish off each session by playing a short game of five-a-side soccer.

I loved it, because at the time it was my favorite sport, so I used to look forward to soccer practice and the soccer matches at the weekend. We never won the regional soccer championship – but we were a pretty good soccer team for a couple of seasons and managed to win more games than we lost.

Really, there was nothing I didn’t like about it. The practice was fun, the other guys on the team were great, and I used to enjoy travelling to other schools to play – it was interesting to meet other kids from different places and see their schools, too.

Good luck in your IELTS Speaking Test!
