1. Training the mind
2. Welsh roots

4. Chemistry in tennis
5. Too fast
6. Losing control
7. Unexpected prize
8. Ads with wings
A. By now Wimbledon has become a popular national festival, together with Ascot and the Cup
Final. Many people in Britain don’t know that tennis was first played in Wales. It was there, in
1873, that Major Walter Wingfield played a game with the recently invented rubber balls and
enjoyed it so much, that he decided to develop the standards of the game. He published the first
book of tennis rules later that year. The first Wimbledon championship was held a few years later in
1877 and the British Lawn Tennis Association formed in 1888.
B. Good mental preparation is necessary for professional tennis players. In a long match they can
be on the court for several hours with nobody to talk to. There can be hundreds of stops from the
crowd, their opponent and, especially at Wimbledon, the rain. Players need to practice methods for
improving their concentration and for motivating themselves when the game is going against them.
They are often taught to imagine some situations, such as a tense tie-break. Then they imagine what
to do with it.
C. Many players find it impossible to stay calm in the stressful situation of a long tennis match and
let their temper out. John McEnroe was famous for his quarrels with referees. Several players have
been given warnings for throwing the racket or swearing. Some players lose matches they could
easily win because their mind lets them down. Pat Rafter said that he couldn’t breathe in his 2000
Wimbledon final. The stress of being near the victory can be too much for a person.
D. The power of today’s tennis game is only partly created by the athletes themselves. Much of it
comes from their rackets. New designs mean players can hit the ball with more speed and accuracy
than ever before. It started in the 1970s when the traditional wooden racket was replaced with
metal. Since then different materials have been used. Graphite has made the biggest influence. Now
the graphite can be mixed with materials such as boron and titanium to produce even stronger, and
lighter, rackets.
E. Speed isn’t always a good thing. Many fans are complaining that the speed of the game is
making tennis boring to watch. After two years of testing, a new ball has now been invented which
could slow down tennis and make it more exciting to watch. The ball is put together in exactly the
same way as the one used now, but is 6% larger in diameter. The bigger ball gives the receiver 10%
more reaction time in which to return the serve. So the number of aces — serves in a match that the
receiver fails to return — will be far fewer.
F. When Irishman John Boland travelled to Athens for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896,
he had no idea he would return home with the gold medal in tennis. But then, he had no idea he
would compete either — he went to watch the competion. In comparison, today’s Olympic tennis
players include some of the best athletes in the world. They are used to five-star hotels and
2

hundreds of thousands of dollars, but at the Olympic Games they will stay in the Olympic Village
and compete for nothing but a gold medal.
G. The Wimbledon tennis tournament is famous for pigeons that sometimes come flying on to
Centre Court and stop the game. So, producers of a video tennis game designed for PlayStation2
decided to use specially trained homing pigeons, decorated with the game’s logo. Twenty birds will
be spray-painted with the Virtual Tennis logo and trained to fly in and out of the home of British
tennis during the matches of the Wimbledon championship. The advertising pigeons will go straight
for the fans and show their logos to them.

Listening
Task 1
Speaker A. I am trying to read at least one novel a month. It’s part of my “intellectual” diet. The
diet includes Music, TV and even Play Station but I try to keep a balance overall. There are times
when I get seriously into a new writer and am distracted until I’ve read everything. On the other
hand I can spend untold hours on Final Fantasy or some other game if it engages me. But as with a
food diet, the odd chocolate binge won’t hurt you as long as in the long run you get a good balance.
Speaker B. I would like to say I love reading Dickens if it were true — but I just can’t get down to
it. I saw a TV version of David Copperfield and enjoyed it but it is the language in the books I find
really difficult to cope with. All the sentences seem so long and complex. I suppose it’s just that
Dickens belongs to a different age, when people spoke and maybe even thought differently. On the
other hand Shakespeare’s language is difficult for me, but it doesn’t spoil my enjoyment of that
amazing dramatist.
Speaker C. I was sat in that armchair that Granddad made. Somehow I felt myself slip back in time
as I turned each page. I became conscious of my heart beating. Probably it was the room, the
furniture, the decoration; but that book took me somewhere else. I even felt the temperature in the
room drop and expected to see Peter Quint staring sightlessly from the garden window.
Speaker D. I never watch a film based on any book I have already read. Susie always does and yet
she always seems to end up saying “not as good as the book”. On the other hand it is quite useful to
see films based on books that you ought to read but don’t want to. Shakespeare or Dickens on film
is a great help. You get a red hot story without having to get lost for days in archaic language. On
this, Susie and I are in complete agreement.
Speaker E. Some people say that conventional books have had their day. The technology has been
surpassed. Like vinyl records and tape cassettes were to music — the traditional book will be
replaced by i-phones, online delivery or through some other multi media platform. They say that
one day we’ll no longer read words on paper stuffed between cardboard covers. But I am not so
sure. On the beach or in bed, on the train or at home I like to curl up with a good old fashioned,
comfortable, paper filled book!
Speaker F. Beck recycles all her books. It’s a nice habit. Where ever she is, when she reads the last
page, there she “sets the book free”. This means that she writes on the inside cover a message of
invitation to whoever happens to pick the book up next. I happened to get one of hers last week.
She wrote “this book is a love story. You’ll not be able to put it down until the very last word”. And
as usual she was spot on. I hardly got any work done last week finishing that damn story!
Task 2
Helen: How was your holiday, Betsy?
Betsy: It was great to get away to somewhere warm. I hate spending the New Year in a cold
climate.
Helen: So, where did you go then?
Betsy: To the Canary islands. We flew to Tenerife.
8

Helen: Oh really? Did you get a charter?
Betsy: Yes, it was a package holiday, which included the flight and hotel. It was really good value.
Helen: So, where did you stay then?
Betsy: In the south of the island. We stayed in quite a nice hotel right near the coast.
Helen: I think, I read somewhere that the beaches in Tenerife are black. Is that right, Betsy?
Betsy: Yes, that’s partly true. They’re striped-white and black. The black sand is from the
volcanoes and the white sand is from the Sahara desert.
Helen: From the Sahara desert?!
Betsy: Yes. The island’s in the Atlantic Ocean, near Africa.
Helen: Oh, I didn’t realize that. So, it was pretty hot then?
Betsy: It was fantastic. Warm enough to swim in January.
Helen: So, you spent most of your time on the beach then?
Betsy: No, I also went on lots of trips. One trip to the mountains was incredible. The views were
unbelievable!!! I also visited a really beautiful zoo in the mountains. It specialized in wild birds
which flew free. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
Helen: Sounds marvellous. Are the mountains covered with snow at that time of the year?
Betsy: It’s not cold enough for that.
Helen: So, you’d recommend it as a holiday then?
Betsy: Yes. Sure. It’s a tremendous place for a winter break. I’d recommend it any time.
Helen: Oh, I forgot to ask. Do they speak Spanish there?
Betsy: Yes, the natives of the island speak Spanish, but nearly everybody speaks some English and
a lot of English people actually live there. They have holiday homes there.
Helen: So you had no language problems then?
Betsy: No.
