00:09 Do you enjoy watching sports on TV?
No, not really, I'm just not big into sports, so it's not something I'm going to make a point to watch or anything like that. I might watch a quick "short" or video on Tiktok or on some other platform if there is something going kinda viral, such as some type of "remarkable play in a sport", but other than that, no, and certainly not on TV as I don't have one, actually.

00:40 Have you ever been to watch a live sports event (e.g. in a stadium)?
Yes, indeed. Last year, I attended a professional league baseball game at a massive stadium in Texas. If I remember correctly, it was a match between Kansas and Texas. The stadium was teeming with thousands of enthusiastic fans. The atmosphere was electric; everyone was passionately cheering for Texas. The large screens in the stadium were used to hype up the crowd, constantly urging us to get louder.
Initially, I wasn't very familiar with the ins and outs of baseball, and I think that sounds like a pun haha, as I learnt baseball has its "ins" or "innings" and "outs" for scoring. Fortunately, I had a knowledgeable friend by my side who patiently explained the game's rules as it unfolded. It was an unforgettable experience, and I really got a taste of the excitement and energy that live sporting events can offer.

01:50 Is there a sports event you might like to watch in the future?
From the experience I just mentioned, I would definitely love to attend a live basketball or football game in a stadium someday. Although I'm not an avid sports fanatic, I'm eager to soak up the vibrant atmosphere among thousands of fellow spectators. Sport events are charged with intensity and competition.
It's fascinating to observe how players work in seamless harmony, using their individual skills to achieve a common goal of victory. It's an immersive experience and let me feel a collective excitement and the passion of the crowd.

02:36 Do you think it's more enjoyable to watch sports alone or with other people?
Oh, without a doubt, with friends for sure. Honestly, to watch alone would be boring, but that's just because I'm not into sports, as I mentioned before. Sharing reactions, whether it's the thrill of a great play or the disappointment of a missed opportunity, it creates a special bond among the viewers.
Also, people rooting for the same team often find common ground and a shared enthusiasm, which I guess for some could also easily create new friendships.
