17、ldren like the me-books very much because they like to see in print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets.

For another, its important for the development of Chinese football because it will not only make it popular with more and more people but also cultivate more excellent football players who may even become football stars. From my poin
72、t of view, there are many difficulties in carrying out the program. First of all, not every school is big enough to provide a football pitch where students enjoy it. Whats more, theres a lack of football teachers because our PE teachers now are not good at football or dont know how to play it. Last
73、but not least, it needs a large sum of money. To overcome these difficulties, Id like to give some suggestions. First of all, the government should invest a lot of money in building football pitches and developing footballing infrastructure. Besides, football teachers should be hired or PE teachers should be trained as quickly as possible.
