Hello everyone, welcome back. Today we are going to read an article about soccer. The article is called, "Heading a soccer ball can injure brain". The article comes from a great website called BreakingNewsEnglish.com.

In the article we learn about an injury called "concussion" (脳震とう). Let's study some vocabulary. Please click the link: IE-PhysEd B3 Vocabulary.

People can get a concussion while playing many sports. Can you think of three sports in which a concussion is a common injury? I'll give you a hint. Concussions are a big problem in my favourite sport.



Have you ever had a serious injury while playing a sport? Please post a comment.

    When I was a junior high school student, I fell from my neck to the ground while doing a high jump.
    I suffered from whiplash injury, and I wasn't able to move for 2 weeks.
    Then, I thought I couldn't move forever, so that I was very glad to recover.
