The game we lost
Clydon Alex
English

My friend and I used to play football in the village.

Our team was called New Faces.

1

One day, we went to play against a team called The Brothers.

We were sure we would win the game.

2

We did not know that The Brothers was a very experienced team.

3

During the first half, New Faces scored one goal.

The Brothers had nil.

4

During the second half, things changed very quickly.

The Brothers scored four goals!

We didn't score any.

5

We began playing rough against The Brothers.

Still, we scored no more goals.

6

We lost the game!

I was so disappointed.

7

From that day, I learned two things.

Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win.
