女孩子遇上雅思口語裡的sports話題怎麼辦?!雖然不是體育迷,但不至於什麼比賽都沒看過。小時候老爸看球,我們難免會瞟幾眼,家鄉的球隊打比賽,總要象徵性的支持一下,新建了體育館,總會想去體驗一下第一場比賽。這些都是很自然的watch a sports game的場景。如果是橄欖球籃球迷足球迷之類的同學,超級碗NBA世界盃肯定不會落下。如果你認識這些同學,是不是也被拉著一起看過比賽呢!
I』d like to talk about the football match I watched with my ex.
He’s a huge fan of Brazil national football team, and every World Cup, he would stay up late rooting for his favorite team. He would even bet his money on the final score of the game.
That was 3 years ago, when Brazil was playing against Germany, and we all know the final score, it was a huge disaster for Brazil, if I remember right, it was 1 to 7, which is something that’s never happened to Brazil team. My ex said, and I quote, it was a huge humiliation.
Because of the time difference, we had to watch the game after midnight, when I was super sleepy. But luckily, soon after the match, Brazil scored one goal, and you can imagine how thrilled my ex was, he jumped up and down, yelling to the screen, and he was like, 『yeah』. But later, Germany scored one goal as well, so we were like 『Oh』. And the tie, I mean the score 1 to 1, lasted for a really long time. And for a few times, I just nodded off. When I woke up, the score was still 1 to 1. I started to feel bored, although my ex was still sitting on the edge of the seat.
When I woke up, the game was over. And I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard the final score. My ex was so upset.
I remember this game quite well because it was one of the few times that I watched a football match, and the score is really dramatic.
