Snowboarding Victoria Jamieson from Britain started snowboarding at 20. She is now 23 and has won many competitions in this sport. We spoke to her when she was at a snowboarding competition last week in Switzerland and asked her why she started the sport. 'I've always liked all kinds of sports, especially skiing, and it seemed natural to start snowboarding. It doesn't take long to learn and you can become really good in a few months.' We asked her if she had to do a lot of practice. 'Well, in winter I snowboard in the mountains every day from 8.30 a.m. until 4 p.m. I also run and go hiking. But I just love doing it all! I like the competitions and being in the mountains. It's so beautiful. But free-riding, that's doing what you want when you're not in a competition, is the best thing in the world for me.' We asked her what is important when you're learning. 'You can learn quickly but you need lessons. It's also important to have the right clothes so you don't get wet because, to begin with, you spend a lot of time falling down!' SENTENCES

Mardenborough Jann Mardenborough has loved cars since he was given a toy one as a baby. He loved them so much that when he was eight his father took him to a place where children race small cars called karts. Staff at the kart centre told Jann he drove so well, he might one day become a racing driver. Unfortunately, the kart centre closed soon afterwards, and there wasn’t another one near enough to his home that he could get to. As he couldn’t race karts any more, Jann decided to try computer racing games. After lots of practice, he became very good. However, he never told his parents what he was doing. Then, one day, when he was 18, he told them that he was one of the top ten winners of a computer racing competition. They were very surprised. His prize was to drive a real car in the race against the other nine top players. It was Jan’s first time in a racing car, but, amazingly, he won the race! The prize this time was a free course to learn to be a racing driver. He did really well, and has found a job driving in a racing team. SENTENCES

HOW DO THE IRISH POP- GROUP 'BOYZONE' LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE? Sleeping well is very important. When I can get home to my mother's house, I sleep for ten hours. But I find it very difficult to sleep at night after a concert because my head is full of music. Sport is important. Before I had a car accident, I was at the sports centre two and a half hours a day, five days a week. I can't do that now so I do about 150 sit- ups a day. I don't drink alcohol or smoke. I try to eat well. Also I drink a lot of water because it's good for your health. I should have about eight glasses a day but I don't always drink so much. People shouldn't work all the time. I love my job but there are other things I like doing too. In my free time I just listen to music or watch TV. It's good for you to do nothing sometimes. I don’t get tired any more since the doctor told me to eat better. Now I eat lots of things like carrots and spinach every day. But I still eat burgers sometimes! SENTENCES

Sean Murphy Sean Murphy reads the late news on British television at 1 1 0'clock each evening. 'This is a good time for a news programme because we can report the early news from America and the late news from Europe. I still arrive home before midnight because the journey from the Television Centre to my home in north London only takes six minutes. My family are all asleep when I get in, but I usually make a drink of hot milk and read a book for about an hour. 'l always get up to have breakfast with my three children before they catch the school bus. Then I take the newspapers and go back to bed for a short time. Later on, I go for a swim — newsreaders spend too much time sitting down! I sometimes go running. I've done the London Marathon twice. That's a race of over 40 kilometres. I finished each time, but I wasn't among the first! 'l start work after lunch at two o'clock, when I go to my office. The rest of the day is spent planning the programme, but I always try to go home for an hour to see my children before they go to bed. SENTENCES

Dad

Dear Mr Taylor, On 6th January there is a trip for classes 3A and 4A to Blackfort Castle or Walton Zoo. The cost is only £10 — last year it was £15! We could go by train or by bus. Please tell us which you prefer by 15th December.

Please fill in my form. I don’t want to visit the castle, but the zoo sounds great. Remember I am not in 3A now! I don’t want to travel by bus – it takes too long Suzanna
