Task #5 - Speech
Actually, this isn’t a pool table. This is a snooker table! Oh, you’ve never heard of snooker before? It’s a really fantastic game! It’s a billiards game, similar to pool, but the table is about twice the size. It’s a little bit more complicated than pool. First of all, pick up the cue. Now, let’s use the cue to hit the white ball into all the reds. This is a called a “break”. After that, use the white ball to “pot” a red. You need to pot a red before you can go for a color ball. When all the reds are gone, you have to hit the balls in order: yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, then black. You win when you pot the black. However, you must pot the balls in the correct order, and you mustn’t pot the white!
