finish the march by August 16, 2012.
The football team
The Chinese under-17 football team is No. 1 in Asia. They won the Asian U-17 Championship
(亚洲U-17锦标赛) in Japan on Saturday. They beat the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
(朝鲜) by 1: 0. After 85 minutes, Wang Weilong got the only goal. They took the cup for the first
time in 12 years.
Liu leaves China
Chinese actor Liu Ye left for the US on Monday to make a film called Meteor (《流星》). He
is going to act with the Hollywood film star Meryl Streep. His former classmate Zhang Ziyi sent Liu
a message to encourage him. Liu was worried about his English, and worked hard on it before he left.
People know him from films like last year's "Mei Ren Cao".
