I.  Introductory part T: Good morning, dear  pupils! At the previous lesson  we learned to exchange our thoughts on different  sports activities  and how to be successful in sports. What are  we going to speak about  today? I am sure, you are eager to know  that. Today we’ll discuss whether  it is easy to make your sports ambitions  come true. I believe “ Ukrainian- English Ball ” will be a  proper beginning for our lesson  ( STDs review the vocabulary learned before).

4. Interaction   Post- Reading : Let’s  imagine in three years  Rosa’s dream to  become  a  Wimbledon champion has come true. The girl  has  become so successful thanks to her persistent  work and  endless trainings. Read the text  and complete the following ( A, B)  questions and  give answers for  Rosa  and her Mum.

 Rosa is 15 years old. She is  a typical schoolgirl except for one thing  -  she is  a Wimbledon champion. Every day of the week, Rosa’s mother wakes her  at 4.30 in the morning. She gets dressed and has her breakfast . Then her mother takes her  to a local tennis court. At 5.30 o’ clock she practises with her trainer. From  6.30 to  7.30  she swims in the swimming pool. On Tuesday and  Thursday Rosa  doesn’t  go swimming she practises in the gym. At 8.15 she  every day she starts   for school. On Wednesdays  Rosa meets her  fans, she travels from school to school  and talks to students.  On Saturday she doesn’t go to the gym or to the swimming pool that’s why Rosa stays in bed till 10 in the morning. On Fridays she  doesn’t go to bed very early, because she  goes to a  disco with her best friends. But Sundays she  has to go to bed at 7.30 to have  a good sleep. Rosa says  she doesn’t like Thursdays, because she has a medical check  on this day. As you see it is not an easy task to be a champion, but still she feels happy.

A) Here are the questions to Rosa . Complete them. 1) When you / start  playing tennis? 2) How long/ you  practice every day? 3) The school teachers/  help you? 4)  You/ ever meet Stefi Graf ? 5) Why / you  practice in the gym? 6) / You  watch TV?   7)How much time / you spend on your home tasks? 8) When / you  practice in the swimming-pool?  9)Why/ you  not like Thursdays? 10)What/ your trainer’s name? 11)Your trainer ever be a champion?
