Where do you see yourself in ten years’ time?

Decklen

I see myself finishing university first. Then I'm going to get a good job, settle down and have a family. Can't wait!

Earlybird

Why do people tie themselves down? Why not take some time out? Go travelling while you're young!

DeeLee33

That's what I think! I don’t want a good job. I want to have fun. I'll take up a sport like karate or skydiving and enjoy myself. In two years, I hope that I'll be doing my black belt, and I'll be happy.

Earlybird

Me, too! I'm going to travel around Australia and teach myself to surf.

Marcus

Where are you going to earn money to get to Australia?

Earlybird

I'm going to start up my own business, make a million dollars in two years, and then I'll retire young and travel the world. Why waste time working all your life?

Marcus

I think it’s important to look after yourself — but what about others? I'd like to get involved with a charity and spend some time abroad helping people.

DeeLee33

I totally agree. Good luck with that, Marcus!

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

“Water polo is a new sport at our school, but we have a good team now. We practise after school on Thursday at the Northside Pool and we're doing well in the National Schools Competition.

There are seven players in a water polo team. The game is a bit like football because each team tries to score a goal with a ball. But in water polo you don’t use your feet - you catch and throw the ball with one hand. And you never stop swimming. A game lasts 32 minutes, and in that time you swim up and down a 30-metre pool lots of times. If you aren't fit, water polo isn’t the sport for you!

For me. it’s great. because | love being in the water and | can swim fast. I also enjoy being part of a team. We have some excellent players and we're all good friends. So it's fun, and it's also a fantastic way to get fit.”

Hi Linda,

How are you? Thanks for your email. I think sports at school in Viet Nam are different from sports in Canada.

At school we do lots of PE (Physical Education) and in winter we play ice hockey - it's the national sport of Canada.

I love going really fast on the ice! At our school girls and boys play rugby too. I don't like because I am very bad at throwing and catching the ball, but I like watching our school rugby team when they play.

In the summer we play table tennis and do athletics. I'm OK at table tennis and I'm really good at athletics because I can run fast. I run the 100m, 200m.

There are lots of after-school sports clubs at my school: football, volleyball, basketball, and judo. I do judo on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Sometimes in the summer I go swimming with my friends at the weekend and in winter we often go ice skating. I love ice skating - it's great.

Write soon.
