Badminton





Badminton is a game of concentration, and of quick movement. It takes a lot of perseverance and determination,to be really good at badminton. Sometimes you will miss but practise makes perfection.


Their are three different strikes for badminton, one of them is the backhand. To do this you need to put your thumb in the grip position then turn your wrist when you’ve done this, you have got the backhand you use this strike when the shuttle is coming at you or when its coming to your left. Then there’s the forehand it is like the backhand, but you don’t turn your wrist. You use this strike when the shuttle is coming to your right.
The way to grip is to get your thumb and put it where the logo of the company is on the racket, slide your thumb on top of it. Once you have done that you have just mastered the grip for badminton.


In badminton if you don’t have much concentration, it is going to be hard to win. Concentration helps you figure out what to do and when to hit the shuttle. I only wish that I had lots of concentration.

Badminton is one of the most exciting sports that I’ve ever played. One day you should play badminton, and experience it for yourself I tell you will be amazed about how cool it really is.

Will The Rugby World Cup benifit New Zealand


I believe that the RWC tournament would benefit New Zealand economically and socially, because we can get a lot of money from this tournament. It would make New Zealand very popular and tourists would come to watch it. The money we get can help rebuild Christchurch , and help the people that have no houses. I hope that the All Blacks will win the world cup and they, should keep their eyes on the ball.
