第5問

 Your English teacher has told everyone in your class to find an
inspirational story and present it to a discussion group, using notes. You
have found a story written by a high school student in the UK.

┌────────────────────────────────────┐
|           [Lessons from Table Tennis]            |
|               Ben Carter                |
| The ball flew at lightning speed to my backhand. It was completely  |
|unexpected and I had no time to react. I lost the point and the match. |
|Defeat... Again! This is how it was in the first few months when I   |
|started playing table tennis. It was frustrating, but now I know that  |
|the sport taught me more than simply how to be a better athlete.    |
| In middle school, I loved football. I was one of the top scorers, but |
|I didn't get along with my teammates. The coach often said that I should|
|be more of a team player. I know I should work on the problem, but   |
|communication was just not my strong point.               |
| I had to leave the football club when my family moved to a new town. I|
|wasn't upset as I had decided to stop playing football anyway. My new  |
|school had a table tennis club, coached by the PE teacher, Mr Trent, and|
|I joined that. To be honest, I chose table tennis because I thought it |
|would be easier for me to play individually.              |
| At first, I lost more games than I won. I was frustrated and often  |
|went straight home after practice, not speaking anyone. One day,    |
|however, Mr Trent said to me, "You could be a good player, Ben, but you |
|need to think more about your game. What do you think you need to do?" |
|"I don't know," I replied, "focus on the ball more?" "Yes," Mr Trent  |
|continued, "but you also need to study your opponent's moves and adjust |
|your play accordingly. Remember, your opponent is a person, not a ball."|
|This made a deep impression on me.                   |
| I deliberately modified my style of play, paying closer attention to |
|my opponent's moves. It was not easy, and took a lot of concentration. |
|My efforts paid off, however, and my play improved. My confidence grew |
|and I started staying behind more after practice. I was turning into a |
|star player and my classmates tried to talk to me more than before. I  |
|thought that I was becoming popular, but our conversations seemed to end|
|before they really got started. Although my play might have improved, my|
|communication skills obviously hadn't.                 |
| My older brother Patrick was one of the few people I could communicate|
|with well. One day, I tried to explain my problems with communication to|
|him, but couldn't make him understand. We switched to talking about   |
|table tennis. "What do you actually enjoy about it?" he asked me    |
|curiously. I said I loved analysing my opponent's movements and making |
|instant decisions about the next move. Patrick looked thoughtful. "That |
|sounds like the kind of skill we use when we communicate," he said.   |
| At that time, I didn't understand, but soon after our conversation, I |
|won a silver medal in a table tennis tournament. My classmates seemed  |
|really pleased. One of them, George, came running over. "Hey, Ben!" he |
|said, "Let's have a party to celebrate!" Without thinking, I replied, "I|
|can't. I've got practice." He looked a bit hurt and walked off without |
|saying anything else.                          |
| Why was he upset? I thought about this incident for a long time. Why |
|did he suggest a party? Should I have said something different? A lot of|
|questions came to my mind, but then I realised that he was just being  |
|kind. If I'd said, "Great idea. Thank you! Let me talk to Mr Trent and |
|see if I can get some time off practice," then maybe the outcome would |
|have been better. At that moment Patrick's words made sense. Without  |
|attempting to grasp someone's intention, I wouldn't know how to respond.|
| I'm still not the best communicator in the world, but I definitely  |
|feel more confident in my communication skills now than before. Next  |
|year, my friends and I are going to co-ordinate the table tennis league |
|with other schools.                           |
