As we know, everybody has different kinds of hobbies that they like to do for fun or just relaxation. Now there are many kinds of activities such as volleyball and basketball. For me, football is my hobby because it’s part of my life and I can’t live without it.
     While I was a little boy, I began to play football in the school team. I played it with my friends in my spare time, too. My mother told me that I liked kicking (踢) the ball around when I was only about two.
     Playing football also helps me to relax when I feel stressed out (有壓力的). Playing football also makes me feel healthy and strong. When I play football, I can make good friends with my teammates. I am into football so much that I often watch football matches on TV, too. On weekends, I usually go to the beach and play football there with my friends. We always have a lot of fun.
     In my life, football means a lot to me. I am going to join a city team before this summer comes. How excited I am now!

He was carrying a nice umbrella and he said that he would give it to us for only a pound. He said he had forgotten his wallet and needed taxi-fare(出租費) to go back home. My mother didn’t believe what he had said at first, and asked him a lot of questions. But she finally believed the man and gave him the pound. She was happy to have a good umbrella for so little. But the man didn’t get into a taxi. We followed him and found he went into a pub(酒吧) and bought himself a glass of whiskey(威士忌) with the pound.
