The Football MatchMy brother and I went to a football match yesterday. Our school team was
playing againstanother High School team. Our team wore red and white shirts, white shorts, and
red stockings.The other team wore orange and black shirts, orange shorts, and black stockings.
“They looklike bees“, my brother said, and we laughed.They played like bees too. They ran very
fast, attacked very hard, and passed the ballto each other very fast. Soon they scored their [1] rst
goal. My brother and I shouted and shouted,“Come on, Valley School! Come on, the Valleys!”
Our headmaster was near us and he wasshouting too. He seemed very enthusiastic. However, the
high school scored another goal. Wewere very sad.Then, one of the “bees” stopped the ball with
one of his hands, so our team got thefree kick. Our captain took it and scored a goal. We shouted,
“Hooray!” The score was now 2:1.That was better.Now our team began to play better—or the
“bees” were getting tired. Our team scoredanother goal before half-time. In the second half of the
match, both teams tried very hard, butneither scored, so at the end the score was still two all.
