Activities 6-7
Write a passage.
I once ran the first leg of 4x100-metre relay at our annual sports tournament. It was exciting and unforgettable. Standing on the starting line, waiting for the starting gun, I could almost hear my own heart beating. Then the gun sounded and I almost had blocked out everything else. To this day, I don't remember how I finished my leg of the race. Only when I passed the baton to the second runner did I hear the wild cheering and shouting. The whole race was over in just an instant. The crowd rose to their feet and their cheering became even louder. Our team had won the race, and the four of us hugged each other tightly for quite a while. I felt really happy.
