Q: Do you often watch programs on the TV or on the cell phone?

A: Frankly speaking, I am a couch ..........; therefore, I spend most of my time lying on bed and watching some news with some snacks. Besides, I also believe it is convenient to get news on phone rather than watching TV in my room. Most of these programmes are also free, so I’m thinking of cutting the cord to just watch these programs exclusively on my personal devices

It was an occasion a few months ago when I went to watch a football match in a football court, just a

's thrown away from my house. It was a charity match to collect funds for the local school; therefore, it was very well attended. Honestly, I was a part of the team yet I was not able to play that match due to an injury. Therefore, watching and cheering are only ones I can do to motivate my teammates.

Q: What it was like?

A: When I came there, I was really amazed with the animated vibe there. The experience was really unbeatable like riding a roller coaster. The match was really harsh. My team started the game with full energy, but the spirit was soon gone .......... by the loss of 2 goals in the first 45 minutes. Luckily, the coach found the mistakes of kickers and changed the tactics in break time. When it came to the second half of the match, we play with high spirit again. As a result, the payoff for our effort was a goal in 88th minutes. However, the remaining time was not enough for us to score one more goal and at last, we lost by a margin of one goal

Q: How you felt?

A: Honestly, I was really deep into this football match for a number of reasons. Although the players in two teams were not the professors, but they really ensured fair play and no red and yellow cards were released. However; above all, because of the charity aim of the match, the ticket fair then was donated

the local school and poor children. Therefore, I felt happy to watch the match in spite of the loss of my team

Q: Why do some people like to watch live sports?

A: I think it’s because of the same reasons that I do!! I feel they too enjoy roaring with the crowd and witnessing the victory celebrations on the ground. People go there to break the

(monotonous) of everyday life and do something different. For some, it is also about the possibility of meeting or getting an autograph from their favourite sportsperson

Q: Do you think competition is good for students?

A: Yes, certainly. I think competition makes us students work harder. Life without competition would be very boring. Standing against their opponents and compete makes students more self-confident. Besides, students will also have to fight

many people to get the job in the future, so competition from early childhood also helps students to handle and deal with difficulties. However, sometimes the competitiveness is also harmful for pupils. Some children just want to win a game. Therefore, they do everything, even break the rules, just to get the victory. So, I think we should encourage children to have a healthy competition rather than the victory.
