your English.
Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt like
there was a heavy weight on his shoulders as he
walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life.
His mind would not stop thinking about what
happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer
field. How could he have missed scoring that goal?
He had let his whole team down. His stupid
mistake made him angry. His team lost the game
because of him. He was really worried that his
coach may kick him off the team.
As soon as he walked through the door, his
father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s
feelings were written all over his face. “I lost the
game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room
without another word. Ten minutes later, Peter
heard his father knocking on his bedroom door.
He opened the door to let him in.
“Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But
whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.”
“I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll
probably never let me play again.”
“Soccer is about team effort. You’re not the
only reason your team lost. If you have a good
team, you should support each other. Besides,
winning or losing is only half the game. The
other half is learning how to communicate with
your teammates and learning from your
mistakes.”
Peter didn’t say anything but what his father
said made him think carefully.
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with
courage rather than fear in his heart.
“Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates. “I’m really
sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning
that game. But I think if we continue to pull together,
we’re going to win the next one.”
To his surprise and relief, his teammates all
nodded in agreement.
“Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s
never just one person’s fault. We should think
about how we can do better next time.”
Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know
that he was on a winning team.
