L21-1 On my favorite sport

I would like to talk about mountain climbing, which is my favorite/best love among other popular sports. It was not until six years ago that I tried climbing mountain. At that time, I was suffering from a period of depression after moving to a new job in a new city. For me, climbing mountain is about having fun. When I climb a mountain, for example, usually I will become so exhausted physically that I barely think about the annoying things in work and life. So I will forget about everything and just enjoy the journey. Also, this sport helps me to keep fit and healthy. The nature mountain senery is so attractive that I spend almost all the weekends and holidays on it.  Last but not least, it's a good way to socialise and make friends. That's just how I met one of my best friends. However, if you want to be alone it also works.  As you can  either join a group or do it by yourself when climb a mountain. So I strongly recommend you try this outdoor activity.
