Have you ever played on a team with somebody who hated to lose? Or maybe you have a hard time if you lose anything. Some kids find it hard to lose, but everyone needs to learn how to do it. (1) You might not be able to do it at first, but over time it’ll get easier. And when you can handle losing, people will call you a good sportsman.
Any time two teams or kids are facing each other in a game, someone will lose. (2) Adults don’t like it either, but everyone can learn to control how they react to a loss. For example, when your team loses, you don’t have to be crying, even though it’s OK that you feel sad.
(3) Do you rush to the other team and accuse(指责)them of cheating? No! The best thing to do is to try to collect yourself and get in line with your teammates so you can congratulate them. Even if you feel like crying later or you want to complain about the game, you can do that off the field.
(4) For example, be polite to everyone you are playing with and against. Don’t say bad things while you’re in the middle of a game. Learn the rules of the game and don’t break them. (5) Try to learn from what happened. Cheer for your teammates even if the score is 1,000 to 1! You could inspire a big comeback(东山再起)!
