Snowboarding

Victoria Jamieson from Britain started snowboarding at 20. She

is now 23 and has won many competitions in this sport. We
spoke to her when she was at a snowboarding competition last
week in Switzerland and asked her why she started the sport.

'I've always liked all kinds of sports, especially skiing, and it

seemed natural to start snowboarding. It doesn't take long to
learn and you can become really good in a few months.'

We asked her if she had to do a lot of practice. 'Well, in winter I snowboard in the mountains every day
from 8.30 a.m. until 4 p.m. I also run and go hiking. But I just love doing it all! I like the competitions and
being in the mountains. It's so beautiful. But free-riding, that's doing what you want when you're not in
a competition, is the best thing in the world for me.'

We asked her what is important when you're learning. 'You can learn quickly but you need lessons. It's
also important to have the right clothes so you don't get wet because, to begin with, you spend a lot of
time falling down!'
DOESN’T
RIGHT WRONG
SENTENCES SAY

16. Victoria was visiting Switzerland for a competition.

17. Victoria has won many skiing competitions.

18. Victoria thinks that snowboarding is a difficult sport to learn.

19. Working hard at her sport is not a problem for Victoria.

20. Victoria likes competitions more than anything else.

snowboarding.

Read the article about a young racing driver. Are the sentences 16-22 “Right” or “Wrong”? If there is

Mardenborough
Jann Mardenborough has loved cars since he was
given a toy one as a baby. He loved them so much
that when he was eight his father took him to a place
where children race small cars called karts. Staff at
the kart centre told Jann he drove so well, he might
one day become a racing driver. Unfortunately, the
kart centre closed soon afterwards, and there wasn’t
another one near enough to his home that he could
get to.
As he couldn’t race karts any more, Jann decided to try computer racing games. After lots of
practice, he became very good. However, he never told his parents what he was doing. Then,
one day, when he was 18, he told them that he was one of the top ten winners of a computer
racing competition. They were very surprised. His prize was to drive a real car in the race against
the other nine top players.
It was Jan’s first time in a racing car, but, amazingly, he won the race! The prize this time was a
free course to learn to be a racing driver. He did really well, and has found a job driving in a
racing team.

Sean Murphy
Sean Murphy reads the late news on British television at 1 1 0'clock each
evening.

'This is a good time for a news programme because we can report the
early news from America and the late news from Europe. I still arrive
home before midnight because the journey from the Television Centre to my home in north London only
takes six minutes. My family are all asleep when I get in, but I usually make a drink of hot milk and read
a book for about an hour.

'l always get up to have breakfast with my three children before they catch the school bus. Then I take
the newspapers and go back to bed for a short time. Later on, I go for a swim — newsreaders spend too
much time sitting down! I sometimes go running. I've done the London Marathon twice. That's a race of
over 40 kilometres. I finished each time, but I wasn't among the first!

'l start work after lunch at two o'clock, when I go to my office. The rest of the day is spent planning the
programme, but I always try to go home for an hour to see my children before they go to bed.
