A New Sports Club!

A ............ (a) The coach of the team told us “Without dynamic body and strong maneuvers in
water, the players can’t break down the defensive formations of the opponent team.” Then,
1
2
we asked one of the players about water polo . (b) He stated “I love competitive sports and I
like being part of a team.” As for me, (c) I really enjoyed having this interview with that young
sportsman. Today’s last words are such that: water polo is fun and competitive, so don’t lose
time to meet this sport!
B ............ Water polo is a new sport at the youth center of our town. Although it’s new, the center
has already had a good team. The players of the team practice everyday at the Eastside Pool
3
and they’re doing well in the National Youth Services Competition that is held annually .
C ............ Water polo is defined as a game played in water in which two teams try to get the
4
ball into the goal of the opponent team. Each team consists of seven players including a
goalkeeper and all play without their feet ever touching the bottom. We can think that the game
5
is a bit like football because each team tries to score goals with a ball. However, in water polo,
you don’t use your feet-you catch and throw the ball with one hand. A game consists of four
quarters, each of which lasts eight minutes.
