Talking about Sport
| started playing tennis when | was five years old, but | was never
very good at it. My parents really wanted me to do well and paid
for me to have lestons outside school, but | always preferred
football. 'm good enough to be in a top local team. With tennis,
| could never hit the ball where | wanted it to go - it was always
too high or too far. Finally, my parents let me stop going to tennis,
lessons and I've spent my time playing football since then.
My favourite sport has always been rugby. I've tried other sports
‘and | was good at tennis. | won a tennis competition at school and
my sports teacher told me that | was an excellent tennis player.
But I didn't enjoy it as much as rugby because I like being part
of a team, So | stopped playing tennis when I was about thirteen.
‘My teacher and parents thought | should continue with it, but 1
preferred rugby.
I've always played a lot of sport. It's an important part of my life,
and since | left school | do a wide variety of different types of
sports - golf, rugby, tennis and football. 'm quite good at all of
them, but | can't really say that | enjoy one of them more than the
‘others. I'm probably best at rugby because I'm a big person, and
itis hard to stop me when I'm running fast.

‘The Smiths are possibly the cleverest family in the country, and now
the youngest member, ten-year-old Charlotte, has won a national
spelling competition to add to the family’s successes. Charlotte
is the youngest ever winner of the National Young Spelling Bee
Competition - the youngest winner before her was her older sister,
Helen, who won it when she was eleven.
Charlotte and Helen’s older brother, Mark, is also very clever. He
finished school early and went to university at the age of fifteen,
three years before most young people start their university studies.
The children’s parents, Charles and Vivien, are both teachers and
‘say their children’s success comes from working hard, playing hard
‘and following strict rules about homework and bedtimes.
“Other people think that Charles and | don’t let the children have any
time to relax and play, and that we're always making them do their
homework. But t's not true!” says Vivien. ‘We have lots of fun time
in the family. But there's a time for fun and there's a time for work,
and we make sure the children understand that work comes before
play.
When Charlotte took part in the spelling competition the whote
family, including her grandparents, went to watch her. Helen took
off a day from school - the first day inher life that she missed going
to school. ' felt bad about missing school, Helen said, ‘but think t
