1、Lois喜欢足球并经常去看足球赛，听他讲讲看职业足球赛的经历并了解他喜欢的球队吧。Todd: So, Lois have you ever been to a professional football match in England?Lois: Yes, I have. I support a team called Leicester city, and when I used to be at university I used to live in Leicester. I used to go to quite a few of their matches.Todd: OK, so

2、 whats it like when you go to a professional game?Lois: So first of all, the fans are all separated, because in England theres sometimes violence at football, so they like to keep the fans away from each other, and theres always a lot of police there, but Ive never been at a match where theres been

3、any trouble, so thats been OK. Um, the atmosphere is normally amazing because the smallest grounds hold about 20,000 people, so you get quite a good crowd, and because their stadiums are quite small, youre quite close to the pitch, so my team werent very good though, so often my team would lose, so

4、it wasnt so good, but when they one it was fantastic. Really, really good atmosphere and lots of fun.Todd: Thats cool. So how much does it cost to get it?Lois: See again, its quite expensive so maybe now for the lower teams it probably, cheapest ticket is 25 pounds, but for example if you wanted to

Its difficult to just buy a ticket

6、 for those games.Todd: Do you like Manchester United?Lois: I think there a good team. I think that the reason a lot of people dont like them is because they used to win all the time, so now they dont win so much, because now Arsenal win most of the time. So I think theyre a good team, but I dont thi

7、nk you can like them if youre not from Manchester.Todd: So Leicester is a very hard word to spell. I take it its not L-E-S-T-E-R, no?Lois: No. If you were an American you would probably pronounce it Lie-Se-Ster, so its spelled L-E-I-C-E-S-T-E-R.Todd: Well, again! One more time!Lois: L-E-I-C-E-S-T-E-RTodd: Wow, thats quite a handful. Alright, thanks, Lois.
