Most of us are interested in one kind of sport or another, even if we don't go in for it actively. Lots of people take up a particular sport at an early age, for example tennis, skiing, or ice-skating. If they get up to a suitably high standard, they may go in for local competitions or even championships. But special training is hard work and most young people don't keep it up. Many of them opt out when they come up against tough competition.
To become a professional in any sport, you have to go through with a strict training schedule. And it's not easy! It means doing without some of life's little pleasures, too. For example, to build up your physical strength you may have to stick to a special diet and give up some of your favorite foods. Smoking and alcohol are out, and to keep fit you have to work out regularly every day.
Sometimes it all pays off, but the road to success is long and there are no guarantees. No wonder that countless young talents decide to settle for a regular job instead, and, as far as professional sport is concerned, for looking on as spectators.

Are you a music-lover between the ages of fourteen and eighteen? Would you like to go to a festival with friends of the same age as you? Then this music festival is for you! For most music festivals, you have to be eighteen before you can go without an adult, but the Underage Festival is different. You must be between fourteen and eighteen.
The Underage Festival is a day of music and fun for teenagers. It takes place in Victoria Park, London, in August. It’s a one-day festival - it starts at 11.30 a.m. and the music goes on until 8 p.m.
Sam Kilcoyne is the main organizer of the festival. He started the Underage Festival in 2007 when he was only fifteen years old. It’s a small festival with 10,000 people but the best thing about it is that there are no adults! Parents can wait for their children outside the gate, but they can’t come in to the festival.
But parents don't need to worry! The organization is great and it's a safe and peaceful festival. You can’t bring food or drink into the festival, but there are lots of restaurant tents with a variety of food and drink - from pizzas to burgers and Chinese to Mexican. We recommend the pizza tent. On the festival website, there's a page for parents with all the information they need.
There's a big variety of music, everything from indie to hip hop, electronic to heavy metal. There’s even a silent disco where everyone wears headphones. There are six stages. The main stage is outside and the other five are in huge tents. Sometimes, it feels a little crowded in the tents, but the big names usually play on the main stage. Sometimes it’s difficult to choose which band to watch because they only play for thirty minutes. But in general, the music is fantastic and the teenagers are happy.
Question: What is the author of the article trying to do?
A. give practical information about travel and cost
B. recommend the festival
C. review the music
D. describe his/her experiences
