文章開(kāi)頭對(duì)射門(mén)的描述非常精彩全神，畫(huà)面感十足，同學(xué)們可以好好體會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)。

As I glare at the ball then the goal. Ball again, then goal.I started1)sprintingup to the multi colored ball. I strike it perfectly. Perfect follow through. As I watch the ball soaring through the air, the sun puts a glare on the ball. I have lost sight of it in the sun. I close my eyes and hear the ball sliding on the side net. I glanced up and I start cheering. Jumping up and down, I just won the game for the team. I love soccer because, it involves a lot of running and skill, I have been playing soccer since I was awee lad, and it involves team effort.

Soccer I think is the most energetic sport ever.I love running, it’s my2)obsession. I run outside of school almost every day. About 6 miles a day. The skill in soccer takes a long time to master. I don’t even think you can master soccer. There are so many new things I learn at practice every day. When you first play soccer, like first ever in your life your thinking wow, this is a lot more tricky than I thought it would be.

Since I was five I have been playing soccer and I first started Iplayed withthe YMCA.Ever sinceI played soccer I have loved it and when I was little I had no clue what I was doing at the time. Now I have progressed a lot and know what I’m doing. My first year I played, I had a goal and it was a very good goal. I kicked the ball and if I remember correctly it went through at least three kids’ legs and went it in the goal. I was very happy!

Another reason why I love soccer is because it takes a lot of team effort. So much you wouldn’t even imagine. If one person doesn’t try on the team or doesn’t give 110%your whole team loses. There is no I in team and that was the first thing I learned during my soccer career. Team effort is what I love, because you have to work with your team and communicate with everyone to take the ball up the field and score. My coachalways says, score early so we have a cushion for some time. And that’s true. He says that every day before a game. And I remember the first game. We lost 7-0. He said we lost because we couldn’t connect 3 passes without getting the ball taken away. And we had NO TEAM EFFORT.

In conclusion, it is important to know I love soccer because, it involves a lot of running and skill, I have been playing since I was five, and I involve team effort.

我盯著草地上的足球，然后把目光移向球門(mén)，這樣來(lái)來(lái)回回的注視后，我開(kāi)始沖刺跑向那多彩的足球，抬腳射門(mén)，動(dòng)作完美，絲毫不差。我看著那個(gè)足球在空中飛向球門(mén)，在太陽(yáng)的照射下顯得很耀眼，讓我丟失了視線(xiàn)。我閉上眼，聽(tīng)到皮球滑進(jìn)球網(wǎng)的聲音。我慢慢睜開(kāi)眼開(kāi)始?xì)g呼，跳上跳下興奮不已。我剛剛為隊(duì)伍踢進(jìn)了致勝一球！從我很小的時(shí)候我就迷上了足球。我愛(ài)這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)不僅僅是因?yàn)樗枰罅康募记珊捅寂?，也因?yàn)樗枰獔F(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作。

我認(rèn)為足球是最需要體力的運(yùn)動(dòng)。我癡迷于奔跑的那種感覺(jué)。

我?guī)缀趺刻於紩?huì)在學(xué)校外面跑大概6英里。足球里的技巧需要投入大量的時(shí)間去掌握，我甚至覺(jué)得沒(méi)人能完全掌控每個(gè)足球技巧。我在每天的訓(xùn)練中都要學(xué)習(xí)很多新的東西。如果你以前從來(lái)沒(méi)有接觸過(guò)足球，當(dāng)你第一次接觸它的時(shí)候，才驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)遠(yuǎn)比想象中復(fù)雜得多。

我從5歲開(kāi)始踢球。剛開(kāi)始的時(shí)候在基督教青年會(huì)那里學(xué)習(xí)。那時(shí)候我還小，甚至不知道自己在干什么，但我知道我已愛(ài)上了足球?，F(xiàn)在我的球技進(jìn)步了很多，并且對(duì)足球有了很多的了解。我第一年踢球的時(shí)候就有一個(gè)非常棒的進(jìn)球。如果我沒(méi)記錯(cuò)的話(huà)，當(dāng)時(shí)我抬腳射門(mén)，足球至少越過(guò)了3個(gè)孩子的防守進(jìn)入球門(mén)，那種狂喜的感覺(jué)至今記憶猶新。

足球另一個(gè)吸引我的地方就是團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，它的重要性你無(wú)法想象！如果團(tuán)隊(duì)里的某個(gè)人不融入集體或者不全力以赴，整個(gè)球隊(duì)就會(huì)輸球。在足球里沒(méi)有個(gè)人，這是我在足球生涯中學(xué)到的第一件事。每一次比賽你都需要和你的隊(duì)友們溝通合作，共同努力把球送去對(duì)方的半場(chǎng)然后射門(mén)。我的教練經(jīng)常教導(dǎo)說(shuō)，越早地進(jìn)球就越會(huì)取得比賽的先機(jī)，我很認(rèn)同這點(diǎn)，每次比賽之前他都會(huì)

重復(fù)這句話(huà)。我還記得第一次比賽，我們0:7慘敗。教練賽后總結(jié)說(shuō)，整場(chǎng)比賽傳不到三次球就會(huì)被斷走，完全沒(méi)有團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作。

總結(jié)來(lái)說(shuō)就是我愛(ài)足球，不僅因?yàn)槲倚枰写罅康募记珊捅寂埽€有享受團(tuán)隊(duì)努力取得勝利的感覺(jué)。這就是我為什么能從5歲開(kāi)始就投身于這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的原因。
