A Football Player

    Most people make their living with their hands. But Tom makes his living with his feet. A very good living it is, too.

and Tom lives in a very small city in England. His parents are very poor. Seven people live in their small house. Tom has no place to play but in the street. Tom's father often plays football. Little Tom wants to play football, too. So his father makes a soft ball for him to kick. It is a sock filled with pieces of cloth. The little boy kicks it every day. At last Tom learns to kick a real football, and after few years he can play football very well. Now Tom is one of the best football players in the world.

    Look at my classmates. Jack is ill. He should see a doctor. Amy is cold. She should wear warm clothes. Betty is angry, because Jack always eats all her candies. She should take a deep breath. Sarah is worried about her English exam（考试）and she is afraid that her parents will be angry with her. Tim feels happy, because his pen pal writes a letter to him.

    Miss White is coming into the classroom. She feels happy, because everybody in her class is quiet and ready to have English class.

    Tom and John are good friends. Tom is twelve years old. John is eleven years old. They are good students. They like eating doughnuts. Miss White is their English teacher. She likes them very much.
