Play snooker with my friends

In my spare time, I usually play snooker with my friends. This is a special kind of cue sport that was invented by British army officers many years ago. This game is very popular in English-Speaking Countries, But in recent years, it is increasing popular in China.

People always play this game on a large table that have four pockets in its every four corner and two in the middle of its every two longer sides. The game is played using one wooden cue and 22 cue balls:15 red balls and one white ball, and six balls of different colors. The players using the smaller end of the cue to hit the white ball, and using the white ball to pot the red colored balls and then the other colored balls. When the colored ball falls into the pocket by the pot of white ball, the player who strike the white ball scores. Different colored balls have different scores. The player scores most points is the winner.

I often play snooker with my friends in my spare time, after school or in weekends. It is easy to kill time because it is quite hard to play, we usually finish one game for about half an hour. But it is a interesting game to play. Also, Ngee Ann Poly have a snooker club that have activities everyday. If you are interested in snooker, you can attend to the activity if you like in the evening of the school days.
