Skiing is my |favourite| sport, even though I have only skied for four days in my whole life! Last year my father |promised| to take me on a holiday if I did well in my exams. When I got straight A's, Dad said, 'How about a weekend at the |Botanical| Gardens?' However, my mum said, 'No, you |promised| a special holiday. I think you |ought| to keep your word.' And, |despite| the expense, he did. My dream was to see some real snow, so in the Christmas vacation we flew to Seoul, South Korea, and then took a |shuttle| bus which runs back and forth between Seoul and Muju Resort.
As the bus climbed through the mountains, we saw the snow on the trees. I was dying to get out and play with it! At last, we reached the |resort| and quickly |scrambled| out of the bus. No one in my family had ever touched snow before. We were all like little children. We picked it up, made |snowballs|, and threw them at each other!
Then we checked in at the hotel. Our room |overlooked| one of the ski slopes. The slope was |floodlit|, so we watched people skiing until 10 p.m. We could not wait to try it ourselves. The next day we had our first skiing lesson. We |rented| our ski |suits|, |boots| and skis, and went outside onto the snow. Wearing skis for the first time makes you feel very strange. Suddenly you find you cannot even walk.
Our |instructor| took us onto a |gentle| slope, and showed us some basic skills. In order to go up a hill, you have to stand |sideways|, and go up step by step. You must point the |tips| of your skis together so that you can stop. However, the tips must not cross, or you will fall. You should not ski alone in case you fall and get injured. To be |honest|, that first lesson was not a great success, and I kept on falling down!
However, the next day I definitely |improved|. I only fell over a few times, and I |managed| to do a few longer runs. I felt pleased with myself, and the instructor |congratulated| me, so I felt great. Although it was very cold, I spent most of that holiday skiing. It was the most |wonderful| time of my life.
|Nevertheless|, it was all over too soon. Now I have decided to work part-time this summer, so I can earn enough money for another super skiing holiday. Unit 1 More Reading

The Olympic Games have a long |history|. The first |modern| Games were held in Athens, Greece in 1896. Every four years, athletes from all over the world compete in various sports at the Games. The largest group |participates| in athletics.
'Athletics' refers to sports in four areas: |track|, field, road and |combined| events. Track events, such as running and |hurdling|, test a person's speed. In order to win a track event, a person needs to go faster than everyone else. Field events, however, test how high or far someone can jump in events such as the long jump or high jump. They also test how far someone can throw in events such as the |shot-put|, |discus| or |javelin|. The |marathon| and race walks are road events. They test |endurance|. In combined events, athletes are required to compete in a series of |competitions| from each |category|. The most famous combined event is the |decathlon|. The |decathlon| involves ten different athletics events that take place over two days. Since the |decathlon| tests all-round physical ability, the winner of the |decathlon| is often called 'the world's greatest athlete'.
Although all Olympic sports are equal in importance, athletics is, in many ways, the best picture of the Olympic |motto| 'Faster, higher, stronger'. The desire of |humanity| to do better, to run faster, to |soar| higher and to push farther is what the Olympics are all about.
