My cousin Sam

A person that I really admire is my cousin Sam. (1) to being close in age, we grew up
together because we live in the same town. Five years ago, Sam had a car accident. (2)
he has to use a wheelchair because he can’t walk.
Sam had always loved playing basketball and missed it very much. Then someone suggested he
should try playing wheelchair basketball. (3) buying a special sports wheelchair, he PDF from sachtienganhhanoi.com
did a training course to teach him how to play basketball sitting down.

He discovered that he loved the sport and he spent as much time as he could on the court.
(4) he became very good, very quickly, and last year he was chosen to represent
Britain on the wheelchair basketball team at the Paralympic Games. (5) he came
home with a bronze medal!
I admire Sam because
despite his injury, he
decided to stay positive

and ind a way to enjoy
life again. And by not
giving up, he has
(6) found
great success – and that is
why I am so proud of him.
