LESSON 59

UNIT 30 An international event LESSON 59 How long is the race this weekend? Ten miles. It's not very long. And who's in the race? Well, there are lots of fantastic runners. They come from all over the world. Like who? Well, there are some from Australia. They compete in all the European events, and they're impressive.

Can you compete with them? Well, I'm not in the first rank. I can compete in this race, but it's my first half marathon. I need practice for the London Marathon next year. I'm sure you can do well, Paul. Well, maybe . . . The other runners are really international. There are Moroccans, Brazilians, Canadians, Germans, Chinese - you name it! They're all very good. Let's wait and see!
