Do you know there are two kinds of football games? One is American
football, the other is soccer. In China many young men like playing soccer. It is

goalkeeper can play the ball with his hands. The other players mustn't use their
hands. For this reason I think the Chinese name "football" makes sense!

LESSON 22: DON‘t BE LAZY
