LC: To summarise main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph.

Little Pele couldn’t resist. He wasn’t always going to live in the favela selling papayas; he was going to be a professional footballer for his favourite team, Botafogo, or maybe somewhere in Europe, like Barcelona where his hero, Neymar, played. He couldn’t become a footballer without practising to get better. The papayas could wait, he thought. Football was far more important.  

 “To you, Gabriella!” Little Pele shouted as he scooped the ball up and volleyed it to his best friend. She controlled it on her thigh with her first touch and passed it to a teammate with her second. Gabriella was three years older than Little Pele and a really good player. When they were younger, Gabriella would look after him when his parents were out working. They would spend hours kicking an old football against a wall, practising their touch and technique; pretending to be the professional footballers that they so admired. Little Pele had loved those days. Playing football was so much better than trying to earn money. School was OK, and his parents were keen for him to get
an education, but he didn’t often go – especially when money was tight like it was now.          

Let's summarise these two paragraphs.

Activity

Now it's your turn.  Summarise the next part of the story. Can you do it using fewer than twenty five words?

He ran over to where an old coke can and a large rock were acting as goalposts. He carefully placed the crate of papayas behind the rock and skipped onto the pitch.  

“It’s the Vascos,” Gabriella whispered as he trotted past. “They’re Italy – don’t upset them this time!”   

Little Pele flashed a smile. “Just give me the ball,” he said, positioning himself on the right wing. The last time he had played against the Vasco gang his team won with a last-minute goal – scored by Little Pele! They weren’t happy and, to make things worse, he had stuck his tongue out to Dengar, Vasco’s gang leader and tough-tackling central defender. Gabriella had calmed the Vascos down that day, but Little Pele knew how people on the favela held a grudge.   

But he was quick. Dengar would have to catch him first!     

To begin with, Little Pele found it hard to see anything. The sun shone brightly off white-washed buildings and sandy earth, dazzling his eyes and making it hard for him to pick out the ball. It was still swelteringly hot and he kept having to wipe the sweat from his face.
