Sample: A Badminton Game
Last Sunday, I played badminton with my best friend Lan at the sports centre. We played for about an hour. Lan played very well, so she won the first set 21-18. But I didn't give up. I tried my best and won the second set 21-19. The final set was very exciting. Lan won 21-17. I was disappointed, but I was happy because we had fun. After the game, we promised to play again next week.
