One day my teacher said, “ Life is a game of chess, and the other player is time．” From that moment, I knew I had to enjoy my life．Do not waste time, because, you know, time will not come back．You cannot buy it．It is one of those things in life that you must really, really value．

When you see an opportunity, take it．You might not get it back．Never let an opportunity pass．And if it is too hard, remember that in the middle of every difficulty lies an opportunity．

Remember, you cannot choose how you' re going to die, or when．You can only decide how you' re going to live．Study as if you were going to live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow．Don' t just think of the present, but also think of your future．Your future is yet another chapter in your life and another way to live it．

Every single living thing has a purpose in life．"The purpose of life is a life of purpose," said Robert Byme．

Learn to use time wisely, take opportunities, and enjoy life．We can discover the meaning of life in three different ways: （1） by doing a deed; （2） by experiencing a value; （3） by suffering．Life．

Football is, I believe, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for one side or the other.

To a stranger, one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He will tell you who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.

Most schools in England take football seriously-much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all very important and games are left for the children themselves. In England it is believed that education is not only a matter filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom: education also means the training of character; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games; where a boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his or her team, instead of working for oneself alone. The school therefore plans games and matches for its students. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That’s why it is every school’s game in England.

A. three or four times better than that of adults
