Our team wore blue and the other team wore red. The game began. As I watched the game,an old man next to me said hello to me.
“Bernard(the father of my host family) was a champion,”he said.
Bernard did not look strong, so I was surprised to hear that he was a champion.“Oh, he was the champion of a beer-drinking competition! He drank the most beer(啤酒) and became the winner,”the old man said cheerfully.
