There is a basketball game today. My brother is a new NBA player. He is not a rookie. He plays well. There are many players on the court. LeBron James is there too. He is famous. He performs amazing dunks. My brother practices three-pointers. He shoots the ball carefully. "Aim high!" I say. He dribbles fast and passes the ball. "Can you dunk?" I ask. "No, I don’t like dunks," he says. "Why?" "I prefer three-pointers." The game isn’t over. They are still playing. "Does LeBron slam the hoop?" "Yes, he does!" "Are you tired?" "No, I can play more." The match is exciting!
