When I was little, I wanted to play basketball for school. But I wasn’t good at it. I kept on ________ though.
I started playing in the 2nd grade. My brother, who was the 7th grade, would always help me. He would the basket on purpose(故意) so I wouldn’t lose against him. One day, though, another boy shouted at my brother： “ Go away! You fool!” My brother had to stop basketball with me. I felt so that I wanted to stop playing. About a week later, though, I saw my brother play in a real game. He was so good that I realized I had to keep playing.
