Pupil's Book, Unit 3 page 32 1 Listen. Match the sports commentaries (1-4) to the photos (A-D). 1: There are three minutes left. Bolt for Team City has the ball. But here's Waldek for Team United. He takes the ball from Bolt and runs at the goal. Team City can't stop him. Can Wakdek shoot? Yes he can! He hits it hard and high, and it's a goal! ! A brilliant goal from Waldek! Team United are winning by two goals to one. The coach is jumping up and down. His team have worked hard and they're winning. He must be delighted. Shall we watch the goal again? 2: The Silver Beach surfing competition will start in about 35 minutes. I can see Daisy Brass, the world champion, jogging. She's training because she knows that she needs to be fit and strong. Riding a surfboard across the waves is hard work. Now she's picking up her special surfboard, one of the most expensive in the world - it cost $1 million. It's no surprise that Daisy has asked a police officer to look after it while she trains! She wouldn't be happy if someone stole it. 3: This could be the most important point today! If Tim wins one point, he'll win the Lemonade Cup. Tim starts, Hugh hits it back well . . . but the ball might go into the net! No. The ball goes over the net and Tim hits it hard with the middle of his racket. Hugh runs to the net, and wow! - he hits the ball - but no! -The ball falls two meters outside the court. Tim wins the pointand the Lemonade Cup! He may be this garden's greatest ever tennis player! He lifts his racket in the air. He's delighted! 4: The world's ten fastest cyclists are here on their bicycles, waiting for the race to begin . . . They start quickly, Jessica Cage is in front of the other cyclists on the track. Birch and Noble are behind her. But wait! Birch and Noble have fallen! Birch may have made a mistake and hit Noble. And the other cyclists could ride into Noble here. Oh no! They've fallen too! There are nine cyclists on the track now, but they're OK. It's good that they're wearing helmets to protect their heads! Cage is still cycling. She hasn't seen the accident! She finishes the track and wins the race . . . 2 Match the definitions (A-K) to the words (1-11).

Pupil's Book, Unit 3 page 34 THE SPARTAN PRINCESS In Ancient Greece, around 428 BCE . . . Cynisca is a young Greek princess. She is a Spartan. It's hard being a Spartan. They are only interested in being very fit. Boys practise fighting and do athletics and girls also do a lot of exercise. It isn't different for Cynisca even though she's a princess. Her dad, Archidamus, King of Sparta, has encouraged her to do all kinds of sports since she was very young, such as riding and running just like her brother Agesilaus. Cynisca's favourite sport is chariot racing. Catch me if you can! Wait for me! One day I'm going to the Olympics and I'm going to win. But girls can't enter competitions, so how are you going to do that? When the king dies, Cynisca receives half of his money. Agesilaus gets the other half and becomes King. Cynisca really wants to compete in the Olympics so she decides to buy the horses and the chariot she needs. I want four of your best horses. These are the best horses in all of Sparta. Cynisca trains the horses for the chariot races every day for a year. It's so unfair. I'm ready for the games but they won't let women into the stadium to compete. Well, you can't be the rider of the chariot but if you find a charioteer, you can enter as an owner and trainer. There's no law against that. Cynisca finally finds a charioteer. He's perfect for the job. He's thin, tall and young. She is a strong instructor. No! Go faster when you turn! Look behind you as you do it. We only have a few months before the competition! The summer of 396 BCE . . . Finally, the day of the Olympic Games arrives. Cynisca travels with her brother and horses to the great stadium of Zeus at Olympia. The games are held here every four years. The streets are crowded. People come to watch and take part in the games from all over the world, from as far away as Spain and Turkey. Can I come into the stadium? I'll put on a helmet and dress like a man. No, it's too dangerous. If they catch you, they'll punish you. Cynisca sits outside the stadium and listens to the crowds shouting and screaming. The four-horse chariot race is always the most spectacular race in the Olympics. You've won! You've won! My family and I were Kings and Queens. I, Cynisca who won with a four-horse chariot, put up this statue. I am the only woman in Greece to win this prize. Cynisca wasn't able to take part herself in the Olympic Games, but she won the chariot race twice in 396 BCE and again in 392 BCE.

Pupil's Book, Unit 3 page 36 2 Listen and read the text. How many hours a day does each athlete train? Every four years the Olympics is shown on TV. lt takes years of training and hard work to compete at an Olympic Games and there are many things that an athlete has to think about before they run around the track, hit a ball or put on a helmet for that important race. Gymnasts Training: Gymnasts train for six hours a day. As well as this, they swim, cycle and run to make their legs stronger. It's important that they stretch every part of their body before and after they practise or they might get injured. Food: Gymnasts need to eat a lot of protein (chicken and fish) and healthy snacks like bananas and strawberries. Rest: They have one rest day a week and try to get a good night's sleep too. It's difficult to train if you are tired. Divers Training: Divers also train for about six hours a day, but before they get into the pool, they have to practise in the gym. They lift weights and do handstands to make their forearms strong. After training in the pool they often put ice on their triceps to help them recover. Food: Food is very important for divers. Cereal with lots of iron in is good and it's important in the evening to eat snacks with carbohydrates like toast with chocolate spread - this helps with energy levels. Rest: After training all day, divers often have a massage and they are in bed by 10: 30 pm. Pupil's Book, Unit 3 page 37 1 Look at the example answer and listen. What will the children learn?
