FOOTBALL- A BRIEF OVER-VIEW

IN THE PAST FOOTBALL WAS A VERY ROUGH SPORT BUT NOWADAYS IT HAS CHANGED A LOT.THESE DAYS THERE IS STUFF LIKE GOLD LINE TECHNOLOGY AND IF IT’S COLD OUT THE FOOTBALL PITCH HAS UNDER GROUND HEATING.

THE TWO BIGGEST STADIUMS IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE ARE THE ETIHAD AND THE EMIRATES WHICH ARE ‘MAN CITY’S AND ‘ARSENAL’S HOME GROUNDS.

TWO OF THE GREATEST FOOTBALLERS IN THE WORLD ARE LIONEL MESSI AND CRISTIANO RONALDO. SOME PEOPLE SAY MESSI’S BETTER AND SOME PEOPLE SAY RONALDO’S BETTER, BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO CHOOSE ONE OF THEM.

THIS YEAR RONALDO WON THE BALLON D’OR WHICH IS THE BEST FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR AWARD. RONALDO NOW HAS THREE AND MESSI HAS FOUR. 

NOWADAYS FOOTBALLERS ARE PAID A LOT OF MONEY AND MOST FOOTBALLERS ARE MILLIONAIRES AND HAVE BIG HOUSES AND NICE CARS.A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT A LOT OF FOOTBALLERS ARE OVERPAID AND GET TOO MUCH MONEY.

WHEN FOOTBALLERS RETIRE SOME OF THEM STAY WITH THE CLUB AND HELP OUT AS AN ASSISTANT MANAGER OR OTHER JOBS, LIKE A GOLD KEEPER MANAGER OR JUST HELP OUT WITH THE TEAM.

Dancing, by Lucy, Ileta and Olivia

When you dance, you’re showing emotion in your routine.

Here are a couple of tips to help, dance like you mean it and pretend no one’s watching!

By Lucy.

Try and practice your dance until you get it right.

Dancing is art that you create to make you and others feel better.

Don’t dance the moves, feel them. Then you’ll see how well you’re doing!

By Ileta

1.     Stretch every day.

2.    Practice, practice, practice.

3.    Work on higher jumps, controlling your turns and improving your balance.

4.    Listen to the song the dance is to.

5.    Dancing the moves don’t just do them, lose yourself in the dance and have fun.

6.    Think about detail, pointed toes, straight legs and hand position.

7.    Think about the song, if it is a strong song be strong. If it’s a happy, up-beat song be happy. If it’s emotional song, be emotional.

8.    When you are turning pull your tummy in it helps balance.

9.    Be yourself this is the best tip we can give you. Dancing is a form of expression so own yourself!
