Step 1 - Listening

Sports centre tour

You are going to watch a video about a school sports centre in Hertfordshire, England.

  • Watch the video.
  • While watching, think about the following question: What are the sports facilities at your own school like, compared to the centre in the video?

Do the exercises.

Step 2 - Reading

The right school sport

Schools in the USA often have good sports facilities. You are expected to choose a school sport.

You are going to read a text about choosing a school sport.

  • Read the text.
  • While reading, think about the following question: What would suit you better, a team sport or a non-sports activity?

How Do I Choose the Right School Sport?

Sports are a great way to stay active, make friends, and be involved in something besides school work. Some people know exactly which sports to play in high school. For others, it’s a tough decision.

Sports are meant to be fun. If there’s a sport you enjoy, but you aren't sure if you can make the team, try out anyway. You won’t know unless you give it a try. And some sports, like cross-country and track for example, often let people participate even if they aren’t ready to compete in meets, matches, or games.

Is a Team Sport Best for Me?

Some sports, like lacrosse or field hockey, need every person on the field to be in sync. Sure, some players stand out more than others, but having all superstars doesn’t necessarily make a good team!

Sports like tennis, track and field, cross-country, swimming, gymnastics, and wrestling are sports where individual performances are tallied into team scores. There are exceptions, like relays in track and swimming, but for the most part you can win a solo event in these sports and your team still loses, or vice-versa.

What if I Don’t Like Organized Sports?

You know yourself best. Sports might not be your thing — and that’s fine. There are many non-sports activities that can help keep you fit and having fun.

You might already have an exercise routine or activity you like to do in your free time. But if you're looking for something to keep you busy and let you blow off steam, try some of these:

Rock climbing. Did you love scaling trees and walls when you were younger? Rock climbing offers one of the best all-around workouts. As a rock climber, you work your hands, arms, shoulders, back, stomach, legs, and feet — all at once!

Take a hike (or bike). Hiking and trail biking are great ways to learn about nature while still getting your heart rate up. Even if you're just going to a local trail, bring at least one other person along in case something happens. If you're going for an intense multi-day hike, you should bring someone who is experienced and trained in hiking.

Water activities. The water is the perfect place to find new challenges. There are plenty of water activities for all levels of skill and energy. Besides swimming, try canoeing, kayaking, fishing, rowing, sailing, wakeboarding, water skiing, windsurfing, and, if you're feeling particularly daring, surfing.

What If My School Doesn't Have My Sport?

All schools can’t have every sport. A city school may not have a lot of fields, for example, while a rural school may not have enough students to make up a team for every sport.

A school's geographic region can also play a role. If you live where it snows from the fall to the spring, your school might not do a lot of outdoor sports.

If your school doesn't have your favorite sport, don't let it get you down. You can always try out for a different sport during the same season or see if your town has a recreational league that you can join.

Whatever you choose remember to have fun while staying fit!

Step 5 - Speaking

An interview about sports and activities

Interview a classmate about sports and activities. Use the description below.                                                                              

Preparation

  1. Prepare for both roles: interviewer and interviewee.
  2. Think of five questions you can ask your classmate.
  3. Pay special attention to the correct use of the past simple.
  4. Write down a couple of words and phrases to help you in your interview.

Having the interview

  1. Find another pair to work with.
  2. Have your interview.
  3. Ask your classmates to write down feedback for you.
  4. Next, let them have their discussion and write down feedback for them. Pay special attention to the correct use of question words.
  5. Discuss what went well and what you can do better next time.

Je interviewt een klasgenoot over sporten en activiteiten: wat voor sport of activiteit diegene doet, waarom, waar, hoe diegene erop kwam dat te gaan doen enzovoorts.

 

Step 6 - Writing

A letter to the school board

Work with a classmate. Together, you are going to write a letter to the school board. Use the description below.

Jullie vinden dat schoolsporten ook op jullie school een belangrijkere plaats zouden moeten innemen – alleen hebben jullie weinig faciliteiten. Daarom sturen jullie een brief naar het bestuur van jullie school.

In je brief vertellen jullie:

  • waarom sporten zo belangrijk is;
  • wat voor sporten je zou moeten kunnen doen op school;
  • wat er dan aan de faciliteiten moet veranderen;
  • of de faciliteiten ook voor anderen toegankelijk zouden moeten zijn, en zo ja, voor wie.
  • Jullie noemen ook een paar ideeën om het geld voor de aanpassingen bij elkaar te krijgen.
  • Besteed extra aandacht aan het correcte gebruik van voorzetsels.
