Read the three texts below about three teenagers who are volunteering to help out at sporting events. Choose the correct answers to the questions – A, B or C

A Henry

Our swimming teacher at the sports centre asked if anyone wanted to go and help out at a big swimming tournament at the centre over the weekend. I’m going to help sell the tickets to the spectators. And I’m hoping I’ll end up having a swim, too! Luckily it’s inside as it’s expected to be chilly during the event – although I’ve swum in icy water before!

B Carla

I’m going to help with a volleyball match at the local primary school for 5–11 year olds – which I also attended, so that’s why I wanted to go. I’ve helped at lots of competitions like this, so it won’t be a new experience. It’ll be on Saturday afternoon, so I’ll miss my usual swim, sadly. I just hope it won’t rain! I’ll tidy up after the game, too.

C 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!

Which volunteer …

1 got chosen because they know about the sport?
