I was very upset. My dad (c) began buying the sport newspapers a couple of times per week. It made me very happy. Reading about my team was great, but I really missed watching the games on weekends.

One Saturday, my parents took me to a small café. This café (d) provided the visitors enjoy soccer games on a large television At that time, the program (e) would broadcast the Serie A soccer games from Italy. I was (f) overjoyed and could not stop thanking my mom and dad. There were about (g) 20 people in the café. I could see that most of the guests were the supporters of Napoli. I knew it because they wore Napoli jerseys. We (h) were watching the games while enjoying some food and drinks. The snacks were delicious, and the drink was refreshing. When the player of Napoli scored a goal, we (i) screamed loudly while clapping hands. I could hear some of them hitting the tables. It was so noisy, but it was fun. Fortunately, the game (j) ended with Napoli’s winning.
