Section 4 – Reading

a. Read the story Part 3.

Part 3

The next day, he joined the soccer club. He promised to train hard. He wanted to become a great soccer player and helped his team win. However, he could not play well at the club. He always failed to keep the goal area. He was very sad and almost gave up. Pak RT came to him and suggested that he should try other positions. After trying some positions, he found that being a midielder was the best position for him.

A month later, there was a mandatory soccer match in that region. Mirza was grouped with Siti, Abay, Raka, Amelia, and Pitra. At first, they underestimated Mirza’s skills, but he proved them wrong. He helped his team to win as a midfielder. He could pass the ball accurately so that Siti, the forward, could score for the team. Everyone cheered for Mirza, including Siti.

“I’m sorry for underestimating you, Mirza. I should not have pushed you to be a goalkeeper. You are such a great midfielder!” praised Siti.

Mirza smiled and said, “That’s okay. Let’s practice together to become a better team.”

Part 2

The next afternoon Mirza played with his plastic soccer ball in his bedroom. He kicked the black and white striped ball hard to the wall. His mother got annoyed by the sound. She came to his room and saw what was going on.

“You always make noises with that ball. Can’t you just play outside?” said his mother from the doorway.

“I want to, but…,” Mirza replied hesitantly.

“Go play outside with your friends!” his mother ordered.

But, Mirza didn’t go out that day. He stayed home for the rest of the day. He wished his dad were home and played soccer with him.

The next Sunday morning, Mirza sat next to his mother who was busy with boxes of clothes. His mother worked as an assistant for an online shop selling kids’ clothing.

“Mum, can I join Winners football club?”

“Do you really have to join the club?”

“Yes. I need a coach to train me to play soccer. This is a good soccer club, Mum.”

“But you know our inancial condition,” whispered his mother.

“But this is important for me,” Mirza looked down at the loor.

“There’s a community football club here. I heard Pak RT was looking for children to join the club,” said his mother.

Mirza thought about it for a moment. It was not a bad idea after all.

Part 1

One Friday afternoon on Gang Pelita, a small street where very few cars passed by, Bayu drew lines with a piece of stone to create a soccer field.

When the field was drawn, the kids were grouped into two teams then they took their positions. Mirza, Abay, and Siti were one team, taking the left side of the field. Raka, Amelia, and Pitra were on the other team.

While everyone was so eager to defend and score, Mirza was not sure about his role as a keeper. He ran left, then to the right, clumsily leaving the goal area empty. The next thing he knew, the other team already scored.

They took some rest under the shade of a tall building on the street.

“You were no use, Mirza. You can’t play football,” Siti said.

“I think he guarded the goal area well,” replied Bayu.

“But he didn’t know what to do in the game. He was just running here and there,” Siti said sternly.

Mirza didn’t say anything. He kept silent. It was not the first time Siti talked like that.
