Reading comprehension 7th form 2 term Nesvit

A new player.

Misha: Hi, guys. Do you need a player? 

Jim: Yes, we do, but we don't need you! 

Mark: Stop it, Jim. He is our last chance. Jackson has broken his arm, Andrews has caught a cold, Graham has left the school and Black has joined the choir. 

Jim: Why did he do that?

Mark: He went there with his best friend Sam Small. Ha-ha-ha! 

Jim: It isn't funny. He was our best forward. Last year he scored three goals. And now he's not with us! 

Misha: Is this match very important?

Mark: It's the final. All our team worked really hard for it last year. In March we beat the Bears. The score was 2-1. Then we played with the Sharks and they lost one-three. In April we played with the Foxes. The game ended in a draw: 3-3. So tomorrow is the most important match of the year.

Misha: If you give me a chance, I can try to help.

Jim: Have you ever played football before?

Misha: Yes, I have. It's my favourite game.

Jim: OK, Then, you are in the team. We have no time to train you. The match is tomorrow morning. You'll be a defender. Try to help our goalkeeper, that's all you have to do. 

Misha: Don't worry, I will. 

Mark: See you tomorrow. 

Misha: Bye!

6.     Basketball was the favourite game for a new player.

My afterschool activities.

The life of a common pupil doesn't consist of a constant study. Every school offers a wide range of different after school activities. As a rule, their main goal is training or educating while entertaining. Thus, our pupils can sing in the choir, dance, participate in the drama club, and go in for different sports.

We visit differ­ent workshops, where we are taught useful skills like knitting, embroidering or fixing different appliances. All of these activities are very useful because they help to de­velop pupils' skills and talents, reveal their attitude and can even influence the choice of future occupation. As for me, I have music lessons after classes. I play piano and sing in the choir. Twice a week I play volleyball at the local sports school. I think that we should de­velop both body and mind. I'm an active member of a student club 'Stage'.

This club acts at a commu­nity level and we provide a charity activity helping children with special needs in our city. Such kids lack communication with other children and we try to make their lives a little bit better.

We collect books and toys for them, make different concerts and performances. And we talk much with them. This is my favourite afterschool activity as I feel myself useful and impor­tant. This makes my friends and me kinder and more understanding.
