listen to my instructions on what you must do today. First, you must run five rounds
around the field to warm up. Second, practise dribbling the ball with two friends for half
an hour. You'll learn to pass the ball with speed and precision. Next, practise kicking the
ball into the goal. Kick low and aim at the corners of the goal. You'll learn to score goals.
Do this for half an hour.
Wei Hoong: Is that all, sir?
Coach: I have one more instruction. After school, watch the recorded football matches between Red
Lion and Yellow Tiger. You'll learn how to pass the ball accurately.
