We were going to play against a team from a country school.They didn’t come until the last minute. They looked worse than we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys.We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn’t need any practice against a team like that.

The game began. One of us got the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward （前锋）. From out of nowhere a boy in an old T-shirt stopped the ball and with beautiful style, he shot and got two points. Then another two points in a minute. Soon the game was all over. We were beaten by the country team.  

After that, we thought a lot. We certainly learned that even though your team is very good, you can’t look down upon the others and still need to do you best. And the most important lesson we learned was: One can’t judge (判断) a person or a team only by their clothes.

　　We are going to play against a team from a country, school. They didn't come until the last minute. They looked worse than we had expected. They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys. We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn't need any practice against a team like that.

　　The game began. One of us got the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward(前锋).

We were beaten by the country team.

　　After that, we thought a lot. We certainly learned that even though a team is very good, there is usually another team better than yours. You can not be always the best. And the most important lesson we learned is: One can't judge(判断) a person, or a team only by their clothes.
