GUST Soccer Team

Today my class colleague and friend Farouq Samhouri conducted an interview with me about GUST’s soccer team. I will be talking about the soccer team in terms of their achievements as well as the environment around them.

Questions:

1. How long have you played for GUST’s soccer team?
2. How do you consider GUST’s soccer team?
3.  Do you see GUST‘s soccer team succeeding in the future?

Responses:

1.  I have joined the soccer team since 2007 when I first joined the university.
2.  They are really a great team with huge ambitions. We have won two UCC titles and we have got the second place in the UCC tournament this year beneath ACK.
3. YES for sure!! They are a very good and talented team with outgoing personalities.     

I dearly appreciate my friend, Farouq Samhouri in helping set up this interview. If you have any questions concerning the GUST’s Soccer Team, please let me know and will be more than happy to answer them.
