One of my favorite memories is of a wonderful day for me. We were all trying to decide on a game to play, when the cat Kitty pushed a football towards us with her little pink nose. “Great idea, Kitty. Let's have a game of football!” shouted Peter.
“But I don't know the rules,” said Angela nervously. “Well, let's practice shooting (射；射击) ! All you have to do is kick the ball into the goal (球门) to get a point,” suggested Lily. “OK! Let's go and put our new sports clothes on!” answered Mary.
Peter chose two large sticks as goalposts (球门柱). Then, looking important, he said, “Since I'm the only boy here, I'll be the goalkeeper. Let's start!”
Angela was the first to shoot. She ran up to the ball and … oops! She fell over without even kicking the ball! Everyone started laughing. Lily was next. She took a great shot, but Peter made a good save. No goal! “Nice try, but I'm too good!” Peter said proudly as he threw the ball back. Mary tried her best, but her shot ended up wide of the goalpost. “What a pity!” said Peter, looking pleased with himself. “I didn't expect to win, but it looks like no one can beat me, girls,” said Peter.
That little boy was getting a bit too big for his boots (靴子)! I would like to have a try. Peter kicked the ball to me very hard, on purpose. But I quickly kicked the ball out and sent the ball between the posts! “Ooh!” cried Peter, as he tried to avoid the powerful shot. “Goal! Well done!” shouted the girls. “What's the matter, Peter? You've gone very quiet.” they all cheered.
