Do you like playing sports? What's your favorite(最爱的) sport? My favorite sport is football. Football is also many young people's favorite sport. English people call it soccer. Soccer is quite different from American football. Do you know the difference(不同) between them?
A soccer ball is round, but an American football isoval, like an egg. Soccer teams have eleven players on the field. American football teams have forty players, but only eleven players on the field at one time.
In a soccer team, the goalkeeper(守门员) tries to stop(阻止) the ball from going into the goal. He's the only player to stop and pick up(捡起) the ball with hands. American football players can catch the ball with their hands. They can run with it and throw(扔) it to other players.
Both of them are very interesting. They can make you healthy and strong.
