The sports event I want to share is the World Cup. I’m not a big fan of any kind of sports events, but one I remember deeply is the World Cup and I watched it at summer vacation. My last summer vacation was with my husband. But before I started to watch it, I still had some prejudice against it. I thought it was just kicking balls. It must be very boring. So I didn’t have high expectations at all. But after I watched it, I changed my mind. Initially, we planned to watch it at home alone. But our friends invited us to join them. So we finally watched it at their apartment, maybe because of it was held once every four years. So the atmosphere in social network is very enthusiastic. And I was also influenced by this atmosphere and started to feel engaged. And because of the different time zones, we had to watch it at midnight in China. It’s already past my bedtime and I feel very sleepy. And I feel very sleepy, but someone just kicked a ball and got a score and everyone started to share. At that moment, I can understand these fans why they like the sports so much because they just influenced by, inspired by the ethics, exceptional skills and strong sense of sports man-shape.

The sports event I want to share is the World Cup. I'm not a big fan of any kind of sports events, but one I remember deeply is the World Cup, and I watched it during summer vacation. My last summer vacation was with my husband. Before I started to watch it, I had some prejudice against it. I thought it was just kicking a ball and must be very boring. So I didn't have high expectations at all. But after I watched it, I changed my mind. Initially, we planned to watch it at home alone, but our friends invited us to join them. So we finally watched it at their apartment, maybe because it is held once every four years. The atmosphere on social media is very enthusiastic, and I was influenced by this atmosphere and started to feel engaged. Because of the different time zones, we had to watch it at midnight in China. It was already past my bedtime, and I felt very sleepy. But when someone kicked the ball and scored, everyone started to cheer. At that moment, I understood why these fans love the sport so much; they are inspired by the athletes' exceptional skills and strong sense of sportsmanship.
