Well, I don’t like to talk highly of myself, but I often was told that I was great at basketball when I used to play.
I tried team handball before that, but I didn’t really enjoy it. At beginner levels, that sport isn’t really challegning or strategic.
However, when I started getting into basketball, I knew that it was the right sport for me and I always tried to get better at it ever since.
Well done! Your answer is clear and detailed. Here are a couple of corrections to improve it further:

instructors always gave me a good comment and

Your answer is good, but there are a few mistakes that can be corrected:
1. Change “doing spots” to “doing sports.”
2. Change “physio coordinate ability” to “physical coordination abilities.”
3. Change “pick up new spot quickly” to “pick up new sports quickly.”
So, here is the corrected version: “Interesting question…. It’s something I’ve really never thought about before. However, if I had to mention a talent, I’d probably say doing sports. I’ve always had quite good physical coordination abilities, and I can pick up new sports quickly. When I was learning skiing, rock climbing, diving, or something, the instructors always gave me good comments and asked me to demonstrate to other learners. I think it’s something that I’m naturally good at.”

Thanks, I appreciate.
You’re welcome! Your answer should be more specific to the question. Can you tell me about your talent or something you are good at?
Interesting question…
It’s something I’ve never thought about before. However, if I had to mention an ability, I would say dancing. I enjoy music and dancing. Moving my body helps me relieve daily stress. It’s always a pleasure for me to copy new dancing styles.
Your answer is well-structured and provides a good amount of information. However, there are a few mistakes to correct:
1. Instead of “However, if I had to mention an ability,” you can say, “If I had to mention a talent.”
2. Instead of “dancing styles,” you could say, “dance styles.”
Overall, great job! I can’t see any other mistakes in your response.
