Text 7 a running commentary

Hello! I’m Harry Fennel with Sports Update. We are now taking you to the Alexandra Park Sports Centre for the match between Orient and Arsenal that most football fans arelooking forward to. The commentary will be given by Martin Shaw. Martin?

M.S.: Hello, Harry! We’re just waiting for the teams to come out. And here they are. You can see Larry O’Nell, the Orient captain, leading the team. They are followed by Arsenal, with Bobby King, their captain, at their head. Both teams are in equally good form, and keep on improving.

Now you can watch the players warming up. The stadium is full. Each fаn naturally expects his team to win.

You can hear the referee blow his whistle. The kick-off at last! Harry Grant takes the ball forward. I can see Dick Hunt trying to intercept him, but with no success.

Now Arsenal’s centre-forward has the ball. You can see him trying to take the ball dоwn the field. Oh, he doesn’t notice an Orient back running up to him from behind!

He may lose the ball! He passes it to Bobby Hurst. I wonder why? What does he want Bobby to do? He’s too far off to have a chance of scoring. But Bobby acts without hesitation! Oh, what a magnificent kick! What a beautiful goal! Frankly, I didn’t expect Bobby to score at such a distance! Good for him! Well done, Bobby! Arsenal haveopened the score. You can hear the crowd shouting.

Text 8 Weekly Diary

My week at the beginning of May is very busy. I am going to visit a dentist on the fourth of May. I shall go there at three p.m. I always visit dentist before summer holidays though I am much afraid of dentists.

On the sixth of May I am going to John’s birthday party. John is my cousin. We are great friends.

The party starts at twelve thirty. I think we’ll have much fun. I have already bought him a present. It’s a car model. John has got a large collection of car models. It is his hobby.

On Friday I am going to the theatre with Mary to see a new play by a famous playwright. Mary has bought three tickets. Her sister Sue is coming with us. The performance starts at half past six in the evening. I hope we shall enjoy the play. I like going to the theatres and visit them at least once a month.

On Saturdays I usually visit my sister’s family. They live at 44 Green Street. But on the eighth of May I shall stay at home because my sister is coming to see me.
