Everyone in this world has their own favorite game. I have my own, too. My favorite game is football. I often play football with my friends in the evening. I like this game ________it is exciting and challenging. Football is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. It is a ball game played on a grass field with a goal at each end. The objective of the game is to score by kicking the ball into the opposing goal. The winner is the team which has scored more goals at the end of the match.

    Football _______ (play) at a professional level all over the world, and millions of people regularly go to football stadiums to follow their favorite team or watch the game on television. There are many international competitions of football. One of the major international competitions in football is the World Cup. My favourite star in football is Edson Arantes do Nascimento. I wish to become a professional football player. I learnt teambuilding, discipline as well as teamwork through playing football.

    Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942. He is one of the most well-known scientists on space and time in the world. Hawking is researching how the universe began and how it ends. He is called the King of the Universe.

    When he studied math and science at Oxford University, he became seriously ill, which made him unable to speak or breathe without the help of machines. Till now, he can't move or feed himself and he is helped to dress, eat and wash by a nurse. However, he has a wheelchair with a special computer, with which he can communicate with others.

    In spite of all these difficulties, he refused to give up his hope of living and went on to study at Cambridge University after graduating from Oxford University. In 1965, he got a Doctor's Degree of philosophy(哲学). Because of his serious illness, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he is respected by people in the world. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It has been sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was once invited to China to give lectures. His self-confidence and humorous conversations impressed us deeply.

    From Hawking's unusual experiences , we learn that nobody should lose hope, no matter how bad the situation is .As he once said," Life is not fair, you just have to do the best you can in your own situation."
