Badminton

Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the ground, and the shuttlecock may only be struck once by each side before it passes over the net.

The shuttlecock or shuttle is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from the balls used in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is best played indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game.

Badminton is one of my childhood activities. When I was in primary school, I always play badminton with my brothers, cousins, neighbor, classmate and friends. When come to secondary school, I seldom play badminton, because other than badminton, there are many other sport activities, such as, netball, volleyball, bowling and etc. When come to college life, i totally didn’t touch my badminton racquet at all. Recently, I touched my badminton racquet, my friends and I planned to play badminton once a week. The purposes of playing badminton are for fitness, keep-fit and as an activity game.
