Conversation Model A: Hey Billy, did you see the fantastic basketball game on Sunday? B: No, I was with my friends outside, why? A: It was the best game I have ever seen. B: What happened? Did Taiwan Beer win? A: They lost for the fist half. B: What's the points? A: 4 against 22. B: So, was that you call fantastic? A: No. They won at last. B: How can it be possible? A: The major cause was that Yulon had too many turn overs, 22. B: Wow, imagine. A: Yeh, and the field goal percentage of Yulon after the first quarter was low. It was a very tie game. They are almost even at the last period. A: But players in Taiwan Beer really played hard. B: How was the basketball star, Lin "the Beast" Chih-jeh, doing? A: Well, his three point shot and fade away shot didn't work out very well. On the beginning of second half, he was almost foul out. B: I can't believe it. He is quite good at managing his fouls A: One of the referee gave him two technical fouls at one time. B: The crisis must then come. A: You bet, but finally, they did a great job. It's all the players' work together that won them the game, I think. B: I really need to watch the replay after hearing this.
