Model Answer 1:
Games and sports have always attracted me but I like the indoor games more
than the outdoor ones. I usually play chess in my free times and enjoy it more
than any other indoor games.
Chess is a very exciting indoor game and this two-player game requires a lot of
attention. Usually, it is played on a checkered board and the two opponents
are trying hard to defeat each other. This is the only game that could be played
at anywhere including both indoor and outdoor spaces. Not much space is
required to play the game and the players are usually more intelligent than the
regular people. There are 16 pieces on each side of the game for each of the
player and the most intelligent one wins the game after lots of mental efforts.
It is believed that game has been originated in India and it was before the 10th
century. The players are to attack their opponent with soldiers, kings, queens,
rooks, knights and bishops to win the game.
When I was in my senior high school, I met a boy, Samuel Rodriguez. He was an
exceptionally intelligent boy and loved to play chess. I had one thing common
with him. We were neighbours and as a result, I frequently visited his home.
Suddenly, one day I found him playing chess alone. I had the curiosity to play
chess but could not materialise the desire as I did not know how to play the
board game. So, I asked Samuel to teach me chess. He taught me chess like an
expert teacher. He explained the capacity of the pieces and their abilities as
well – what they can do or what they cannot. It took around a week for me to
learn the entire game. But in the early days, I could not win the games due to
my unskilled attempts. Gradually I have improved in the game and can finish
the game within the first ten minutes.
I usually play chess with some of my friends who are interested in playing the
chess. My father was a great chess player and had won many prizes in different
competitions. But I could not manage time to play with him as he remained
busy always and also did not want to play with me as well as I could not take
proper attempt to defeat him. So, he was a bit irritated to me over chess
playing and thus avoided me. However, now as an expert player I play the
game with my colleagues, wife and sometimes with my relatives who are also
experts in chess. Besides, I am planning to participate in the upcoming chess
championship in the annual sports day at my office.
I always enjoy the game because it is a mind game and requires lots of
patience and intellects. Unless you are equal to your opponent, you do not
have chances to fight back and finally, you have to lose the game. It is
enjoyable when you can discover the next attempt of your opponent and can
accordingly take preventive measures to save your soldiers and other pieces.

Playing card is my hobby and this is one of the most popular indoor games that
many of the people prefer it like. Yes, this is my favourite indoor game that I
often play at my home.
This is a very popular indoor game across the world. It is popular for many
reasons. There are some specific games available to play with the cards. In fact,
the number of games with cards is countless. There are some traditional games
while there are some specific games as well. I am able to play some of the
traditional and a few specific games. The rules of playing card games are
different in places.
When I was a child, I saw my dad playing cards at home. And most of the time,
he played alone while I sat beside him. He was the first teacher of mine in
learning card games. He knew lots of tricks with the cards and taught me some
of them. My father used to tell that if I practice more, I would be able to deal
with the cards perfectly. On the other side, when I went to college, I came to
know some other card games and played with my college mates. Some of the
college friends knew some special ways to play cards. But I have never
