You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be First, you must ask yourself, "Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?" You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.

First, you must ask yourself, "Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?" You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.

Let's start with the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90°angle(角)to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.

If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45°an-gle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap(擺動).It shouldn't look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flap?ping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.

  Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in anoth?er. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.

 Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have been only a few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way? Was it through training and practice,or are great players "born not made"?

 Firstly,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past—players that a young boy can look up to and,try to imitate. In the histo?ry of soccer,only six countries have ever won the World Cup―three from South America and three from Europe. There has never been a national team―or a really great player―from North America or from Asia.

 Secondly,these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfre?do Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player,so was Pele. Most players began playing the game at the age of three or four.

 Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood―a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer or busi?nessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer. For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beatles,had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practised in the street with a "ball" made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
