2. The Football Game
Yesterday my brother and I went to see a football game. We watched our two favourite teams, the Eagles and the
Hawks. It was the second week of the season and the day was much colder than the week before. We arrived at the
stadium at 11:30 am, which is a little earlier than usual. We were excited because I love the Hawks and he loves the
Eagles.
The seats were good, but I wanted something closer to the field. However, we sat and enjoyed the game. Well, we
enjoyed it until we started arguing. My brother and I both think our team is better than the other team. He always
says to me that the Eagles are faster, stronger, and smarter than the Hawks. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong.
The Hawks played a lot better than the Eagles. They looked stronger and tougher than the Eagles. The won by 15
points.
One thing I didn’t like was that the food and drinks were much more expensive than other places, and tasted much
worse. I was surprised that a hot dog cost $7, which is more expensive than the $3 I pay outside the stadium. Also,
the hot dog was smaller than normal hot dogs. So I was a little sad about my meal, but I planned to get something
tastier after the game.
Driving home I talked about how much better my team was than the Eagles. My brother was getting angry, and I
noticed he was driving a lot faster than usual. We were lucky he didn’t crash. Finally he saw a police car so he started
to drive slower. We arrived home around 7:00 pm, which is later than normal. Usually we get home at about 6:00
pm.
Overall, it was a great day. I love going to the game with my brother. Even though we argue, I wouldn’t want to watch
the game with anyone else!
