Read the three texts below about three teenagers who are volunteering to help out at sporting events. Choose the correct names to the questions.

Leo

My sports teacher wants me to help her with a climbing competition in the hills near our town. I go climbing a lot, so she probably thought I was the right person! I prefer watching TV at home on Sundays, though, especially if it’s hot, as we think it will be that day. But I’ll take lots of photos for my friends to see! I hope my team wins.

David

The sports teacher in my class asked if anyone wanted to help out at a big basketball tournament in town this Saturday. So I’m going to help set up the seats for the spectators – and pick up all the rubbish afterwards. I’m not looking forward to that part, but it’ll be great to watch the match. The tickets cost £30 each, so if I don’t do this, I can’t go!

Mia

My sports club coach asked me to help out with some races in my town so I agreed. I did it last year, too, so I know what to do. The competition is on Saturday and Sunday on the school field, so I won’t be at home much at the weekend. I just hope it won’t rain! I’ll need to tidy up after the races, too – but my coach says I’ll meet some famous runners, so that’s really why I’m going!
