EXAM TASK - LISTENING 10
Interviewer: Hello and good morning. Welcome to Sports Today. We have with us in the studio a young lady who is making a name for herself in the cold and icy world of figure skating. Her name is Britney Spence. Hello Britney and welcome.
Britney: Thank you. Pleased to be here.
Interviewer: Britney, could you tell us how you came to be interested in ice skating?
Britney: Well, I started when I was very young. My friends all went to ballet classes, but I wasn't interested in that. When I was four I watched the ice-skating world championships on TV and loved all the fantastic moves the dancers performed. I begged my mum to take me to the local ice rink. I tried ice-skating and I loved it. I felI over but I didn't care. I just got up again. So I started having lessons.
Interviewer: And the rest, as they say, is history. But when did you realise that you wanted to ice skate competitively?
Britney: Well, my teacher encouraged me to enter small competitions from the very beginning but my parents were not very happy about it. My teacher talked to them and finally they agreed. I had the right kind of personality for it. I was never a shy child. I was usually confident and a bit impatient, to be honest. I loved competing though.
Interviewer: When did you decide that doubles figure skating was for you?
Britney: When I was twelve a boy joined our classes. He was very quiet but I could see he was good. Our teacher put us together and it worked well. We entered a doubles competition soon after and we won it. It was amazing!
Interviewer: And that was Matt Bridges, your skating partner?
Britney: Yes, Matt and I have been partners since we were 12. We train together five times a week. He's very hard-working. I can't be lazy when I'm with him!
Interviewer: And you're training hard at the moment, aren't you?
Britney: Yes, the junior world championships are coming up and we really want to do well.
Interviewer: The best of luck and we will all be watching you.
Britney: Thank you.
