I never really enjoyed sports at school, I remember when I played football. I was always put in, goal, but I used to get bored & read a book. Then when the other side scored the rest of my team would shout at me. Later on I tried tennis, which wasn’t much better. I used to have this habit of dropping the racket each time I went to hit the ball. The worst thing was when I actually won a game. I was so pleased that I ran & tried to jump over the net but caught my foot on it, feel & broke my arm. My latest attempt to get fit was when I tried boxing at a local gym. I’ll never forget my first fight. I climbed into the ring & the bell went for the start of the first half. I just shut my eyes & swung my first. Unfortunately, I hit the referee & not my opponent. Needless to say that was the end of my boxing career. Next I decided to take up mountaineering. I bought a holiday in the Himalayas with two old school friends. On our first climb I managed to slip & found myself handing on the end of a rope half way up a mountain. All my friends could do was to call out to me to until the rescue party arrived. I guess I’ll never learn. I keep on wanting to try out other sports even though I know I’ll never be a champion.
Вопросы:
Why do you think the boy was put in goal? What was wrong with him when he went in for tennis? Why couldn’t he win his boxing fight? Was he successful in mountaineering? What’s the reason of his wanting to try out other sports?
The reason is that, under the influence of friends, or temporary emotions, he made his choice.
