Dictation

• Script of the Dictation
• In the 1970s, Pele retired from the
  national team of Brazil and became a professional
  player for a team in New York. Soccer wasnt very
  popular in the United States at that time. Few
  North Americans knew about this fast-moving
  sport. There was no money to pay professional
  players, and there was little interest in soccer
  in the high schools and colleges. When Pele and
  other international stars began playing in
  various U.S. cities, people saw how interesting
  the game was and began to go to the matches.
  Today there is a professional league called the
  North American Soccer League. It is common for
  important games to have fifty to sixty thousand
  fans.
