But a little· over 200 years later, the bald eagle had almost disappeared from the country. In 1972, there were only 3,000 bald eagles in the entire United States. The reason for the bird's decreasing population was pollution, especially pollution of the rivers by pesticides. Pesticides are chemicals used to kill insects and other animals that attack and destroy crops. Unfortunately, rain often washes pesticides into rivers. Pesticides pollute the rivers and poison the fish. Eagles eat these fish and the poison affects their eggs. The eggs have very thin shells and do not hatch. Eagles only lay only two or three eggs a year. Because many of the eggs did not hatch and produce more eagles, the number of eagles quickly became smaller.

Today, the American government and the American people are trying to protect the bald eagle. The number of bald eagles is increasing. It now appears that the American national bird will survive and remain a symbol of strength and courage.

Fiction - both parts of novels and complete short stories - makes up most of the book. There are some enjoyable pieces by famous writers, such as Candia McWilliam and Rose Tremain. It's a strange fact that the less well-known people seem to have written mainly about food. Take my advice about Jane Harris's Those Nails - this piece should definitely not be read just after meals. It contains some very unpleasant scenes which could turn your stomach!

There is fine work from ninet.een poets, including R.S. Thomas and John Burnside. There are pieces from novels-in-progress by Jim Crace and Jane Rogers. Finally, there is a little non-fiction, which includes a very funny article by Alan Rusbridger on certain newspapers, and an extraordinary piece about herself from Ursula Owen. This is an exceptional collection and I for one can't wait to see what next year's choice will include.

Soccer is a kind of sport played by sides of 11 players with around ball. The ball may not be handle during play except by the goalkeepers. A soccer player must learn many kinds of footwork. Trapping, dribbling, and passing are there of the basics.

Good "ball control" depends on this "skill". The ball doesn't always land at a player's feet. Often, it will bounce or come from high up. The ball must be brought to the ground and controlled right away.

Usually, a player uses a foot or leg to trap the ball. .

Dribbling

The inside or outside of either foot can be used. When dribbling, the ball is tapped along with the foot. However, players should never let the ball get away from them. In this way, players can keep going toward the goal. But if the ball is tapped too hard, the player may lose the ball. It's better for a player to pass quickly to a teammate instead.
