MODEL ANSWER:

I’m gonna talk about an absurd boxing match that I along with my best friend went to watch last week. To be honest , since I realized that I was quite physically unfit , and I thought that I should take up regular exercise , so I have taken up boxing to get into shape . This has led me to develop my fondness for this kind of sport , and I decided to go and watch a real bout.
As it was the final of the local competition, the two contestants were both extremely competent. While we were waiting for the boxers to come into the ring, crowds of spectators started to cheer and chant enthusiastically to show their support for the two fighters, which created an exciting atmosphere of participation . 15 minutes later, the boxers appeared. They looked incredibly muscular, and this made me green with envy of their athletic physique.
Since boxing involves a high possibility of injury, on safety grounds both athletes were sufficiently equipped with essential sports gear for their protection, which may be one reason why the sport continues to thrive, despite the dangers. After the introduction and rules reminder, the contest started. It was interesting that the two participants were equally talented, so they had to really exert themselves to win . However , just at the height of the contest, one boxer got a cramp and tripped unexpectedly. The fall was so sudden that he couldn’t react and ended up spraining his wrist. Although it was not a life-threatening injury, it did prevent him from continuing the fight. The other fighter was then declared the winner. Everybody was at a loss for words , and I have to say that was the
most interesting match I’ve ever seen ! It was a little disappointing, but also funny and fascinating in a way.
Personally, this match was quite entertaining and valuable for me. I learnt a lot of remarkable skills from the boxers; they were so professional. I hope I will be as skillful as they are, and I will definitely practice my skills regularly from now.
