When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month, we would have a basketball match against another school's basketball team. In spite of all the cheers we received from our classmates and the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork and cooperation.
During one of our training sessions, our school team was divided into two to have a match against each other. The inter-school competition was coming up and none of us wanted to miss our chance of getting that gold trophy （奖品） . "Three, two, one, start!" our basketball coach, Coach Leong, shouted. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. Since John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone, not even his teammates, take it.
"Pass the ball to me, John!" I shouted. I was in a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop. To my shock, John made a rude face at me. I made an attempt to grab the ball from him. When I got my hands on the ball, it became a tough game between John and I. Coach Leong shook his head and exploded like an active volcano, "Children! Is this the type of behaviour that I should be seeing? The match is in two weeks! Do you even know the importance of teamwork?" Coach Leong gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news to tell us.
I was right.
Coach Leong explained that he would be retiring after the match. "I hope you can show me your teamwork and cooperate with one another in this match, before I retire." I choked on my tears. My heart sank. We were giving Coach Leong such a tough time, when all he wanted was for us to show teamwork in the match. After that day, my teammates and I were determined to do our best and work as a team.
Paragraph1:
On the day of the match, we stood face-to-face with our opponents, the team from River Primary School.
Paragraph 2:
John did a perfect overhead throw and I caught the ball in mid-air. _
