广东省茂名市高州市第一中学2024-2025学年八年级上学期10月月考英语试题
Being part of the basketball group in high school helped me learn the personal and social communication(交际) skills I use today. As a child, playing basketball was my favourite activity or hobby. It was also the way I met a lot of friends that I have now. All my close friends I have met are through(通过) playing basketball. Whether they were on my team, the opposing(对方的) team or just fans in the crowd who liked my play. Basketball not only helped me get friends, but also taught me a lot about life. There are many things of life like basketball. For example, basketball is a team. Like in life you have to work together with other people. The communication skills I learned from basketball help me communicate with friends, parents and bosses at work.
I started playing basketball in the fifth grade in my primary school. At that time, I was just a 10-year-old boy and I was very quiet and shy. I hardly talked to my teammates. As the years went by, I learned how to communicate with my teammates and my coaches and began to break out of my shell to speak. I started making more and more friends. Basketball helped me meet a lot of new people. By the time I left high school, I had already had a group of friends that I met from playing basketball.
I remember my every day of high school like it was yesterday.
