世界杯正在如火如荼地进行着,你和朋友谈到了各自支持的球队。你支持克罗地亚队,因为你觉得他们完美诠释了真挚友情、永不放弃、拼搏精神、钢铁意志等这些足坛最缺少的东西。而你的朋友是个足球迷,他支持法国队,并认为法国队实力更强。他观球一般都是以比分、球技、球员综合素质等标准来评断球赛的专业性,他觉得只有伪球迷才会注重球技以外的东西。你们各执己见,无法说服对方,所以你读了几篇不同的文章,采访了几个身边的朋友,了解了一下大家参加/观看球赛的实际体验,最后发表了一篇博客,阐述自己对运动的看法。
Your best Chinese friend and you are talking about the 2018 World Cup Finals. You support Croatia, because of the reputation and spirt of the team. The players exemplify such qualities as loyalty, perseverance, and iron will. Your friend, on the other hand, is in favor of the French team. As a “real” fan of soccer, he insists that the French team is more skillful. When he watches the World Cup games, he focuses on the professional techniques and strategies of each team. He says that “fake” soccer fans focus instead on the “drama” or “stories” of the players. You both insist on your own views, and cannot convince each other. Therefore, you decide to read a few Chinese articles on the topic and to interview a few friends to learn their viewpoints and personal experiences. In the end, you integrate what you have found out into an in-depth report on the topic.
