The intro

(Listening Comprehension)

Hey, what's up peeps ? It's Mr.Wong here. So I was shooting some hoops at the park this morning, and uh… just so you know I'm not an athletic person. I prefer video games and pigging out in front of the TV while watching cartoons. So yeah I missed every shot until a couple of teenagers showed up and asked me to join their game. I figured, "Why not ?" It actually was the worse decision I've ever made. I found out that these kids are freaking good at the game. The rules were "first to 10", "loser does 50 push-ups". I thought to myself if I wanted to win, I really needed to up my game. I mean how embarrassing would it be to lose to a bunch of teenagers. Yup, you guessed it, I got completely wrecked in those games, and ended up doing more than 150 push-ups. Not bad for a year's workout right ? So today's phrase is "Up one's game". Check it out !
