The participants vs. shuttleball
 ....................................................................
An objective that is made of feathers
attached to a disc-shape bottom is called
shuttlecock; an objective with feathers
on a large rubber ball is called shuttleball;
an object that looks like shuttleball but
is smaller, is called badminton. Before
the project, I was always confused.
I had no idea about the shuttleball team.
For me, it is like many people playing a
large shuttlecock. When I passed by the
badminton court, and watched the shuttleball
team practicing, I felt that it was so challenging,
not mentioning to attend to the competitions
often.
I didn’t like sports, and had no interests
in the rules of any ball games. Besides,
shuttleball is a very special kind of sport,
not even mentioned on the textbook. The
school shuttleball teams in Taipei City
are few, only several. Our school is one
of them. The team players are also few.
I thought they probably faced the dilemma
of dismissing the team.
 .................................................................... I
was unfamiliar with shuttleball as well
as its rules and skills. The school shuttleball
team always won in competitions. The players
practice very hard every day. I still have
no idea about shuttleball, totally no idea.
This year, our project is about the shuttleball
team. It seems helpful for me to understand
more about shuttleball, including its rules.
I think the school team practices hard for
the purpose to gain honor, so do we. We
must do the website project well.
 ....................................................................
I am not so familiar with the school shuttleball
team. We did not learn how to play shuttleball
in PE after all. I merely know the looks
of the shuttleball, but not the rules. I
see them practicing almost every time when
I go to school. As I knew, they use their
feet to kick the shuttleball over the net,
and the opponents kick it back. The shuttleball
players are not many, and not as popular
as other sport teams, either. So, some people
are afraid that the school shuttleball team
will be dismissed because of lack of players.
 ....................................................................
I did not know much about the school shuttleball
team, neither the shuttleball rules nor
the tournaments they went. I just knew that
our school has a shuttleball team, but I
did not know their achievements, not mentioning
how long the shuttleball team has been founded
in Xisong Elementary School. I did not know
well about operation of the shuttleball
team.
