When I was twelve, I went to a soccer field for the first time. I found hard to drag myself away from it. But all I could do were to make a paper one instead, so I didn’t have enough money to buy a football. Every day on my way home, I couldn’t help kick whatever on the road could be kicked.

Several weeks late， I felt I was on top of the world. While I got home，a real black and white ball was waiting for me on my desk, in which was my birthday present from my parents. I was very wild with joy that I didn’t know what to say. I simply rushed out with a ball and playing with other kids until I was completely tired out.
