课文内容:
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hourswithout catching anything. But this does not worryme. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catchingfish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am evenless lucky. I never catch anything-not even oldboots. After having spent whole mornings on theriver, I always go home with an empty bag. ‘Youmust give up fishing!' my friends say.‘It's a wasteof time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing.I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all !
