Playing badminton is really my cup of tea in leisure time, because it improves my health, helps me be more and more confident, and is entertaining.

First and foremost, by playing badminton about two hours a day, I feel full of beans for the entire day. For instance, I can finish my homework and housework efficiently; hence my mother always encourages me to play it everyday. The second point is that playing badminton brings me out of my self.

I can make friends with many people. After competitive matches, we often chat with one another about hobbies or plans in future. Last but not least, playing badminton is entertaining. It helps me relax after working hours, and relieve stress.. All in all, I consider playing badminton as my favourite pastime for it brings both physical and mental benefits.
