091 – Basketball Comeback | ESL Podcast
English learning podcast about basketball
English Learning Reading
| We were down by twenty points as we headed to the locker room. Our coach yelled at us at the top of his lungs to start playing defense. I knew it was up to me to step it up in the second half. I decided if we were going to comeback, I would have to start shooting a lot more. We were a 10 to 1 underdog so I felt like we had nothing to lose. At the start of the next half I started knocking down three’s. We cut the lead to five with just under a minute left in the game, and I was in the zone. I hit a quick three and then stole the ball. I then knocked down another just before the buzzer went off to take the victory. |

I’m working as a salesman here in Saudi Arabia.English is not quite being used in most business transaction because most Arabs could not speak English well. That’s why I couldn’t practice what I’ve learned from your lessons. But in spite of that I’m still very eager to pursue my goal to become fluent English speaker. I’m planning to work in other countries maybe in Australia and New Zealand after my work contract expire. Those are English speaking countries, right?.I’ll use your website as a tool for achieving that goal because I found it very useful. Both of you guys have been doing tremendous job. Keep up the good work!
