Task 2
Answer the questions based on what you have read.
1. Did her friend understand her Why
2. Did the writer get angry with her friend Did she try to explain Why
3. Was she clear about why she had chosen to be an athlete How do you know
1. Did her friend understand her Why
2. Did the writer get angry with her friend Did she try to explain Why
No, he didn’t, because he was afraid that when she reached the top she would have no friends and that it would be no longer fun to train with her.
No, she didn’t, because she knew what her friend said was right and she was pushing the limits too hard. She did not try to explain because most people would not understand.
3. Was she clear about why she had chosen to be an athlete How do you know
Yes, she was. From the description of her sacrifice we could know she is a “go-getter” with an enormous amount of drive and determination to be the best. We can see that through her descriptions such as “ruining a family holiday because of the endless search for a swimming pool to train in”, “almost missed my brother’s wedding because I was busy hiring a car and driving through the ‘no go’ areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes.”
Task 3
Read paragraphs 5-8. Identify the reasons why the writer was able to get to the top. Use a diagram to illustrate and talk about your analysis.
Reasons
be born with an enormous amount of drive and determination (in para. 5).
lived her life to extremes(in para. 5).
do that little extra thing(in para. 6).
be totally commmitted to your sport(in para.7).
Task 4
Read the article again. What do the phrases or sentence refer to in the article
1. a very good reason ( line 3 )
2. on a day-to-day basis ( line 12 )
3. The list is endless. ( line 19 )
4. an enormous amount of drive and determination ( line 20 )
5. three or four outstanding years of winning stuff ( lines 37-38 )
it takes a lot to be at the top
every day
Check your answers:
Which statements do you think are true according to the article Why
1. The writer is a professional triathlete.
2. Her first sport was rugby.
3. At first, she was afraid to join the rugby club because it had 250 boys.
4. She missed many birthday parties, ruined family holidays and skipped nights out for the sport she devoted herself to.
5. What makes an Olympic champion stand out from other competitors is the special talent she or he has.
6. Although she knows that her way of life is unbalanced or unhealthy, she is determined to continue.
The writer says “These are the fears I face as a professional athlete on a day-to-day basis.” And she also mentions swimming and riding.
Because she says “l miss birthday parties, ruin family holidays and skip nights out” and “missing my brother’s wedding… in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes”.
We can see from “it is certainly not a balanced way to live and it is certainly not normal but those words are generally not used for anyone who is striving for greatness.”
