Congradulate to Barcelona
This afternoon I had a mock speaking test, but I had no sense about it so I spoke out with no prepares. I was astonished that the teacher gave me 3 good and 1 fair grand. Too boring! I thought I could speak better in normal chatting.
Tonight, there was a football match between Arsenal and Barcelona. Oh, I got the result, Barcelona won the game:
Barcelona 2-1 Arsenal
-from BBC News
Barcelona scored twice in the last 14 minutes to beat 10-man Arsenal in the Champions League final.
Sol Campbell's thumping header gave Arsenal a 37th minute lead - after goalkeeper Jens Lehmann had been sent off for a foul on Samuel Eto'o.
Thierry Henry missed a crucial chance to give Arsenal a two-goal lead before Eto'o fired home with 14 minutes left.
Substitute Henrik Larsson then set up Juliano Belletti for the winner four minutes later to sink brave Arsenal.
Henry opened in sensational fashion and could have twice given Arsenal the lead in the first three minutes.
He turned brilliantly in the Barcelona box, only to be denied by the diving Victor Valdes from point-blank range.
And from the resulting short corner, he fired in an angled drive which was pushed to safety by Valdes.
Lehmann had already shown his quality with two stops from Ludovic Giuly and Deco - but was shown the red card in a moment of drama after 17 minutes.
Ronaldinho played in Eto'o, who was upended by Lehmann as he rounded the keeper.
Giuly tapped in the loose ball, but Arsenal were at least reprieved from going behind because referee Terje Hauge had already blown for the foul.
Lehmann was sent off for his foul on Eto'o with Manuel Almunia coming on for the unlucky Robert Pires.
Barcelona were starting to take control when Arsenal stunned the favourites by going ahead after 37 minutes.
Arsenal were fortunate to be given a free-kick when Emmanuel Eboue tumbled threatrically under challenge from Carles Puyol.
And Barcelona were punished for referee Hauge's generosity as Campbell powered Henry's free-kick past Valdes.
Arsenal hung on desperately for the remainder of the first-half, with Almunia brilliantly turning Eto'o's shot on to the post after he turned Campbell inside the box.
Barcelona made a half-time change, Andres Iniesta coming on for the injured Edmilson.
And Iniesta tested Almunia after 51 minutes, and with a downpour descending on the Stade de France, the keeper did well to clutch a skidding shot.
Barcelona were piling on the pressure, and Almunia again distinguished himself by pushing away Ronaldinho's cross as he raced into the area.
Arsenal were still dangerous on the break, and Henry and Cesc Fabragas combined to set up Aleksander Hleb, but he pulled his shot wide.
Ljungberg was then denied by a brilliant save from Valdes as he took advantage of poor defending by Oleguer.
Henry then had a glorious chance to double Arsenal's advantage after 69 minutes when he raced clear on goal, but Valdes saved low down to keep Barcelona's hopes alive.
It was to prove the pivotal moment of an enthralling final.
Former Celtic star Larsson had been introduced as a substitute, and he was instrumental when Arsenal's superb resistance was broken with 16 minutes left.
He delivered a deft touch into the path of Eto'o, who tucked a neat finish past Almunia.
And the Swede was the provider again as substitute Belletti gave Barcelona the lead with 10 minutes to go.
Larsson's clever pass released Belletti, and he scored via a deflection from Arsenal keeper Almunia. It was a killer blow from which Arsenal never looked likely to recover.
