吉林省第二实验学校2024年中考一模英语试题
In a recent game of pickleball, my teammate and I were falling far behind our competitors. It was her turn to throw the ball. We were both standing be-hind the baseline, when she nodded at me and said, "In it to win it!"
"Really?" I looked at her in surprise, I had never seen such catchy expression on her face. Personally, I refused even the tiniest suggestion that we should be trying to win the game.
In my life, I had enjoyed the sports with ro. winners and losers, and had always preferred to be a spectator (看客) rather than a player in the world of sports.
Then pickleball game into my life. I started to learn it in my second year of university. Suddenly, I didn't what to be a spectator any longer. I wanted to be a player myself.
My love for the pickleball is that: it's easy to get started with. The gear(装备) isn't too expensive. It's an easy game to learn, and the players don't need to be especially strong, tall or fast. No wonder that a lot of people can now be seen throwing a green, orange or yellow plastic ball with holes in it across a net.
Pickleball is the first game I've ever wanted to win. The idea comes from the excitement I feel when I score a point. Joining in a sport myself rather than cheering for others provides real proof(证明) that I can still work hard to achieve goals.
So, I've made a decision to continue it. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to socialize while doing something active. In that playful space of the court, I face my fears of winning and losing. Now I wonder what competitions I might be brave enough to enter next.
