Part 2: You are going to read a magazine interview with a sportswoman. Seven sentences have
been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap (1-7).
There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. Write your answer in the numbered

The Netball Captain
In our series on women in sport, Suzie Ellis went to meet England's netball captain.
Kendra Slawinski is captain of England's netball team. When I met her, she'd had a typical day
for the weeks leading up to next month's World Championships: a day's teaching at a local school
followed by a training session in the local supermarket car park.
I was surprised to hear about her training venue.
„Don't you get strange looks?‟ I asked her. „I'm too involved in what I'm doing - concentrating
on my movements and my feet - to see anything else,‟ she said. „I might notice cars slow down out
of the corner of my eye, but that's all.‟

„My whole life now is all about making sure I'm at my absolute best for the Championships,‟
says Kendra.
„1.________‟ These are her fourth World Championships and they are guaranteed to be the
biggest ever, with 27 nations taking part.
„We'll have home support behind us, which is so special,‟ she says. „And it's important that the
reputation of netball in this country should be improved. 2.________ A home crowd will have
expectations and give more support. People will expect us to start t he tournament with a good
game.‟
Their first game is against Barbados and it comes immediately after the opening ceremony.
3.________ They have lots of ability.‟
The England team are currently ranked fourth in the world. But, as Kendra points out, the
World Championships will be tough. „You have to push yourself to play each day, there's no rest
between games as in a series. And you can still win an international series if you lose the first game.
4.________‟
In the fifteen years since she has been playing at top level, the sport has become harder, faster.
On court, players are more aggressive. „You don't do all that training not to come out a winner,‟
says Kendra.
5.________ „We're all friendlier after the game.‟
Netball is also taking a far more scientific approach to fitness testing.
„It is essential that we all think and train like world -class players,‟ says Kendra.
6.________ I see my role as supporting and encouraging the rest of the team.‟
„From the very beginning, my netball career has always been carefully planned, ‟ she says.
7.________
Doubtless she will coach young players in the future, but at the moment her eyes are firmly set
on her last big event. As she leads out her team in the opening candlelight ceremony, she is more
than likely to have a tear in her eye. Her loyal supporters will be behind her every step of the way.

Great Escapes from London

For Londoners with a busy lifestyle, it's hard to get away even for a day, but Amanda Hyslop spoke
to five different women who regularly do exactly that.
A. Julia Finch is a busy lawyer who loves nature but doesn't get nearly enough of it sitting in her
London office all day, so she often takes advantage of Wisley Garden, only an hour's drive from
Central London. "My favorite thing is that there is always something new to see. The garden
collection has been developing for more than 100 years and far surpasses anything I've ever seen. It's
a lovely, peaceful place for a stroll, and it's so vast that it doesn't get crowded. I get ideas for my own

garden from the great demonstration gardens full of practical ideas and techniques. I can even
incorporate my other favorite hobby of photography by bringing my camera and clicking away. It 's
perfect for a great day out."
B. Jessica Green is a hardworking student who needs a break from the books once in a while, and
makes Brighton her favorite one-day destination. "I love being by the sea, and it's so close to London
that whenever I feel like it, I just jump on a train and in 55 minutes I'm there. Brighton evolved from
a small fishing village into England's most famous seaside resort, and offers all the traditional
attractions, including restaurants, nightlife, miles of sandy beaches and two piers. I always eat at this
great self-service restaurant, which is also modestly priced. My favorite spot, though, is a small strip
of sand under one of the piers, where I can just sit all alone and hear nothing but the sea."
C. Martha Roberts is an architect who enjoys her job so much that her work is also her hobby. "My
favorite piece of architecture to study in my free time is The Royal Pavilion in Brighton. I try to get
some of my co-workers to go with me, since it isn't all that far from London, but they're usually too
busy. The Pavilion was built for King George IV and if ever a building represented the concept of
'over the top', this is it. The pseudo Indian palace, with Chinese-influenced interiors, is a riot of
color, expensive fabrics, crystal and gilt. It's not the sort of style I would ever like in my own house,
but I do find inspiration for my work in everything I look at."
D. Flora Evans, a market analyst, feels she deserves an expensive treat after a busy week, which is
why she often takes time to get away. "I go to Bath to visit my favorite luxury spa and enjoy the
pools, which are fed by Britain's only natural hot springs. Sitting in the pool, with only the soft,
gentle sound of moving water, is the ideal way to relax. And of course, a day of pampering is never
complete without some shopping. Bath is one of the best shopping destinations outside London, with
many specialist shops and a number of antique shops tucked away in the narrow streets. A good
souvenir to buy is hand-blown glass, which takes its blue color from the city's hot springs."
E. Elizabeth Dosset, a sales assistant at a popular department store, happened upon her favorite
destination by accident. "I was on a trip to Stonehenge, but the site was closed and I ended up in the
small market town of Salisbury, just a short distance away. There are not many residents and not
many visitors, either, which is perfect since I need a break from all the people I deal with every day.
I couldn't believe that a market still takes place regularly in the town's market place, just as it has
done since the 13th century. My favorite thing to do is observe the shopkeepers going about their
business and see people running errands or just having some tea. The town is so charming and quaint
that I try to go at least once a month. I wish I could go more often, though."
