【推荐2】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 differences（不同）between them?

A soccer ball is round, but an American football is oval, 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.

【推荐2】Dinner customs are different around the world. If you are a guest in Ghana, this information will help you a lot.

In Ghana,dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are no strict rules about time. Whenever a guest arrives,a family offers food. When you go to a home, the person who receives guests takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone welcomes you. Then you go to the dinning room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water. All the food is on the table.

In Ghana you usually eat with your fingers. You eat from the same dish as everyone else .But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water.

Most meals in Ghana have a dish called fufu. People in Ghana make fufu from the powder of some plants. Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw because it is very hard. You must chew fufu well,or you may get sick. You eat fufu with the fingers of your right hand only.

It was sunny today. My friend and I had some bread for breakfast. Then we went to Tian’anmen Square in the morning. It was great! In the afternoon, we went swimming. I taught some kids to swim. It was interesting.

It was cool today. We went to the Great Wall. It was very long and great. We were very tired and hungry in the evening. So we ate a lot of food. I ate a large bowl of noodles, chicken and ice-cream. The food was delicious.

It was rainy today, so we stayed in the hotel. At noon we ate hamburgers and some vegetables. After lunch, we watched a movie on TV. It was funny.
