Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

I’m 18 years old and have never played on a sports team before, so I never received lessons or training of any kind. I wish my parents had signed me up for soccer when I was younger because I discovered that I wanted to play sports. I just have no skills. There is a soccer team at my high school, but I definitely won’t make it. Most people on the team have probably been playing for years. I feel like I missed my chance and that I’ll never be as good as them. Is it too late for me to learn to play from scratch? I just figure that by the time I become “good”, I’ll be too old anyway. I tried teaching myself in the past, but it seemed too unorganized and I didn’t know what I was doing. Is there some places that teaches people of any age how to play soccer?

Why does the writer write this passage?

He wants to study how people play soccer

He is trying to apply for a soccer team

He needs advice on whether he should start learning soccer.

He has received a sport award for playing in a soccer game.
