Xiaoxue plays in the university badminton cup, and Annie comes to see "tennis". You will hear the mistake get corrected, watch Jiayue stand in the standing area because she is late, and cheer when the score turns around.
You will learn to talk about a sports match: name the sport and the place, say who plays and who scores, say you can only do something, and say "besides ... also".
