Because we were asked to play the badminton at school so I asked Claude to help me learn how to play the badminton at the weekend. At first I was really weak on it. I couldn’t move very fast also I always miss the ball when I hit it. So at the very beginning I always lose by a very big mark. I almost have no confidence on do it well at that time but I had to practice it because we have the exam on it at the end of the term 3. so even though I wasn’t good at it but I keep practice it for a long time.

A few weeks past I found that I was really better than before I can move fast enough to get the ball if I real careful I wasn’t miss the ball when I hit it. I found that my badminton skills really improved after I practice it for such a long time. Later Claude told me that out of hit the ball we also need to judge what will your enemy do next and make decision on how to hit the ball. We must hit the ball in right direction , right strength and angle. It means that when we hit the ball we also need to pay attention to our enemy. We must know where is he or she where would he or she move next and which is the place he or she couldn’t reach. It was really hard to me because only learn how to hit the ball have already cost several weeks it would cost more time to learn how to hit the ball correctly. But I had to learn it because it is important to make sure that every time you hit the ball you can cause big problems to your enemy. Also it is the only way can make sure that you can get the points when you are in the competition. So although it was very hard for me but I still decided to learn it.

After a whole month practice I finally did it I can pay attention to both the ball and my enemy. But it didn’t mean the end of my learning. After that I also learned how to match the fast hit and slow hit how to change my strength when I am in different court and so many important. Also I was really good at use long hit and short hit to make my enemy run around the whole court and make the make mistake. Claude also sometimes felt very difficult to hit the ball like that. At the final exam Dave and me beaten Joe and Charles. They both are very well badminton players also they are very strong in double but we really beaten them and got the bound mark in the final exam. I must say that I really a lot from Claude and those things really improved my badminton skills. I’m proud of my badminton skills now also I am more and more interested in Badminton
