Hello, my dear students!
Today you are to do a small Additional test. It is very easy.
This test is for those of you who wants to get good grades.
There are only two tasks.
Good luck!!!
1. Read the text and answer the questions.
Born in December 1973, Paula Radcliffe is the world’s fastest female marathon runner and is also one of Britain’s most popular athletes. As a six-year-old child, she watched her father train for marathons, and ever since then she has been interested in running. At the age of nine, she joined Frodsham Harriers track club in the north of England, where she did high jump, sprinting and distance running. However, she soon decided to be a long-distance runner.
Paula has only been running marathons since 2002. However, she has held the world record since she won the Chicago Marathon that year. She has continued to beat her previous world-record scores since then, in both the London and New York marathons. Of the eight marathons she has run so far, she has won seven and set a record in five.
Paula isn’t only successful as an athlete. She is fluent in both French and German, and did a degree in European Studies. She met her husband, Gary Lough, at university and they have been married since 2000. He’s also been her manager since 1997. Paula is strongly against the use of drugs in sports and has worn a red ribbon in competitions for years. This represents her support for blood testing to catch athletes who use drugs to improve their performance.
