I read "Not Again".
It is a story about basketball. I introduce the characters. There appeared five people in this book. The hero is David who tried to quickly everything. For example, he eats so fast, dresses quickly. He has mother and father. He always goes to play basketball with his good friend Alex. One day the accident occurred. David was in a traffic accident. He could hardly speak and his legs were going the wrong way. His parents and friend Alex worried about him. Then David was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. David was lucky to be alive. He was coma for six weeks. He stayed in hospital for nearly a year. His brain was fine, and his arms were strong. But, his legs were too badly damaged to support him. He has to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He cannot run and jump any more. But, he could still shoot hoops, swim and wrestle with his friends. David can play basketball. He joined the wheelchair basketball team. The coach praised David’s basketball skill. If David trains harder, he could be champion. His coach told him. So He trained hard. After that, he got fitter, stronger, faster and more accurate with his shooting. David wanted a new wheelchair, but he didn’t ask his parents. They had already spent a lot of money for his hospital bills. One day, David and Alex racing home from school. Then, his heart beat faster and he got tears in his eye. There was a brand new sports chair. A month later, David woke up early on Saturday morning. He ate breakfast quickly, dressed quickly. This day was the first game for A team. David met Alex and raced the gym. David raced the corner too quickly. His wheels went off the path. He crashed. He landed hard. He still lay and his eyes closed. “David!” yelled Alex. “Not again!” Then, David laughed. He was just joking. After that, he took part in the game. (337words)(2.7points)
