Speaking exercise

A skill I teach others is playing basketball. Before I joined the high school basketball team, I just practice by myself and then my dad found a trainer for me. I just practised, I think I love it, so I will practice it. If I had a school break/holiday, I would go to America to practice. After I came back, I joined the high school basketball team. My teammates, they want me to teach them basketball skills so I started teaching them. I taught them my way and my coach’s way of teaching. I think it’s an honour for me and I may potentially pursue a basketball career in the future. 

I think it’s able to be funny because if the teachers teach be funny it can make their students more comfortable and easier to understand the teachers say.
