The best pastime after school was football. When school was over, me and a group of classmates loved to play football with a small rubber ball in the nearby street where there wasn’t much traffic. Then, all sweating, I went home for a bath and dinner. Dinner time used to be earlier than it is now. After dinner and a short break, I started on my homework; I had to go to bed at nine, so if I had not completed my memorizing by then, I would do it the next morning. My memory was better in the morning.
