reading football

Referring to the title of the text what do you think the article is about?

I would say it is about a football game that they would go to maybe every

saturday. I would recommend this as it says saturday and once you have game

on a certain day you would have all your games on that day.

Why do Saturday’s start early for Alice?

To get to the ground early to prepare for the game so that if

another team came I guess they would have the first spot to

choose from, because they can choose a spot that is just right for them.

What does Alice enjoy being a part of, for what reason do you believe she enjoys this?

She enjoys being in the backline while her team is arriving to train

as they are getting busy setting up that goals.

What does the goal weigh? What do you think Ashleigh is doing when she says this. Think about if the goal were to literally weigh this, would it be even possible for Ashleigh to lift it?

Ashleigh said that the goal weighs a ton but she means that it seems heavy

to her. If this actually was a ton she wouldn’t be able to lift it as it would be to

heavy for her it would be impossible.

How do you think the girls are feeling prior to their game?

Probably because they are nerves because they haven’t played

them before and so this means that this is their first time against them

so they would think that they are maybe a really good game.

I would feel good because you only know how they play once you versus them.

you can get tips from then so that in your next game you can play with them.

“Jessica jumps high and deflects the ball” what does this mean?

This means that you are changing directions because your body

is interposing.  

What are the girls doing prior to their game starting?

They are trying to kick the ball away from their opponent so that they can help

their own team to get a try. Because if you don't try and get the ball of the other team there

is less luck that your team will win.

Refer to the images at the top of page 6. For what reason are they doing this?

They are taking turns on being goalkeeper while the rest of the team

fire kick the balls into the goal… so that they can win.

It means they have to do somthing so for example

Can you make me a malo so this means you urge them]

to make or do something.

In most sports games there is always a referee, what is the role of the referee?

To make sure they are playing they are playing right in the right time

so that they can not cheat, referees can make you game better because without

your reef you have no game so it is best to have a reef,

Why is a referee so important?

They are so important because without them you

can’t have a game so it is best to have a reef during

your game and also it makes us play properly.
