Q: talking about playing football

i always play football in qianfeng or houwei, and I always like to huaceng skill. Because it is very fast and you can play with ground. I have two friends, they like huaceng skill too because they always do this. I play football twice a week for about half an hour each time. We play football in the PE class. 6-8 boys play football in your class. In total there are 15 boys and 15 girls. Because other boys play basketball, they are very crazy about basketball. We have two teams, the lost team will buy something to eat for the winners. The gift is usually latiao. The game is usually 4vs4 and the people throw the ball, and the center points towards one person and he is on one team. And the people have not been pointed are in another team. After you have decided the team, you start the game. The teacher usually goes with the basketball team, and played once with the football group. The team hits higher scores is the winner for the game and will get latiao from the other team. And if you push, there is no winner.

The top 1 and 2 players are the friends who are good at huaceng skill. They run very fast. They are even thinner than me. One is at the same height as me and the other is shorter. I can run fast too but it is too tired for me. So i usually slow run. There are 5 girls watch us playing football every time. They sit or stand outside the grass and usually chatting( talking). But they watch game when we play really well.

You can score basketball but you think it is very troublesome. We need run back and forth. The basketball players are usually fat and tall. And they are aggressive because they want to score. I think I am a good guard for football, especially ground ball, but not air ball.
