III. Listening

• pre-listening task

What do you know about the sports people in photos A- C

• While-listening task

Listen and match each speaker with their favourite sports star A-C.

Speaker 1

The sports person I look up to most is Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s always been a brilliant player, but he’s also a caring and generous human being. He’s given a lot of money to charities, and is especially passionate about children’s charities. He’s a real inspiration. He’s made generous donations to Save the Children who provides food, clothing and medicine for children in Syria. Once he paid for a baby’s brain operation and his most recent project is to build a children’s hospital in Santiago Chile.

Speaker 2.

Serena Williams inspires me. She’s been a champion for almost 20 years  now and is still at the top of her profession. She’s an excellent role model for girls and women. She’s strong and powerful and has a good body image. She‘s spoken out about body image, and also about what it means to be a black woman in tennis. She’s the most successful tennis player in history, but she’s also supportive of one of her biggest opponents, her older sister Venus.

Speaker 3.

I think Robert Kubica’s story is inspiring. He was the first Polish racing driver to win a Formula One Grand Prix, but then he had a terrible accident and he nearly lost his arm. Inspite of his serious injuries, he has stayed positive and returned to racing. He inspires young people because he is so courageous and determined.
