SUBJECT:-My sports
My favourite sport is badminton. Badminton is a
racquet sport played using racquets to hit
a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played
with larger teams, the most common forms of the
game are "singles" (with one player per side) and
"doubles" (with two players per side). Badminton is
often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on
a beach; formal games are played on a rectangular
indoor court. Points are scored by striking the
shuttlecock with the racquet[1] and landing it within
the opposing side's half of the court.

SUBJECT:-Three men in a boat
Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the
Dog),published in 1889, is a humorous account by
English writer Jerome K. Jerome of a two-week
boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon
Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The book
was initially intended to be a serious travel guide,with
accounts of local history along the route, but the
humorous elements took over to the point where the
serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a
distraction to the comic novel. One of the most
praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how
undated it appears to modern readers – the jokes
seem fresh and witty even today.
