Task 2:Listen again and complete the journalist’s notes.
Journalist: Leah, you’ve been practising tai chi for more than 20 years and
now you’ve decided to set up a tai chi school here in the UK. What was it that
first attracted you to the sport
Leah: I love watching kung fu films, so I took kung fu classes. Through these
classes, I discovered tai chi and fell in love with it at once.
Journalist: You now visit China every year. Can you tell me something about your first trip here?
Listening text
Leah: That was six years ago. For me, visiting China was a dream
come true. On that first trip, I went to Yangshuo in Guangxi.
Journalist: Why did you choose Yangshuo
Leah: The main reason was that one of the greatest masters of tai chi
lives there. I’d also heard a lot about the beautiful natural views of
the area.
Journalist: What challenges did you face studying in China
Leah: The biggest challenge was learning to understand and speak Chinese.
Another was practising some of the basic skills that I thought I had learnt years
ago. Oh yes, and I wasn’t that fond of the early morning stars, either!
Journalist: What makes you not give up and keep going
Leah: Firstly, what I get from tai chi makes up for the hard work and chal-
lenges. It helps me relax and brings me peace inside, and is a simple way
to deal with pressure. As well as being good for your mind, tai chi can help im-
prove your physical abilities. That’s why I set up a tai chi school in the UK.
