Questions 11 – 15 
For each qu
estion, choo
se the corre
ct answer.
Pla
y to w
in 
16-year-old 
Harry Moore
 writes abou
t his hobby, 
tennis.
 
M
y p
ar
en
ts
h
av
e a
lw
ay
s l
ov
ed
te
nn
is
a
nd
th
ey
’re
m
em
bers 
of a tennis club. My older brother was 
really good at it and the
y supported him – taking
him to lessons all the t
ime. So I guess when I 
announced t
hat I wanted to be a tenn
is champion
when I grew up I just in
tended for t
hem to notice 
me. My mot
her laughed.
She knew I couldn’t po
ssibly be ser
ious, I was just a 4-year-old kid!
Later, I joine
d the club’s junior coaching group and 
eventually took part in 
my first proper contest, 
confident th
at my tea
m
would do well. We won, 
which was fantastic, but
I wasn’t so 
successful.
I 
didn’t even want to be in the team photo because I 
didn’t fee
l I deserved to be. Whe
n my coach 
asked what 
happened in
my final ma
tch, I didn’t
know what to say. I cou
ldn’t believe 
I’d lost – I 
knew 
I was the better player. But every ti
me I attacked, the other 
player defended brilliant
ly
. I couldn’t
explain the result.
After that, I decided to listen more carefully to my coach because he had
lots of tip
s. 
I realised th
at 
you need the right attitu
de to be a winner. On court I have a plan but so
metimes the other guy will 
do something unexpected so I’ll 
chan
ge it. If I lo
se a point, I d
o my best to
forget it and
find a way to 
win the next one. At tourname
nts, it’s impossible to
avoid player
s who explode in anger. Lo
ts of players can be 
negative – including myself sometimes. Once I got 
so angr
y that I nearly broke my racket! But 
my 
coach has h
elped me develop ways t
o control tho
se feeling
s. 
After all, th
e judges ha
ve a hard job 
and you just have to accept their decisions.
My coach demands that I train in the
gym to 
make sure I’m st
rong right to
the end of a
tournament.
I’m getting good results: 
my shots are more accurate and I’m beginning to
realise that 
with hard 
work there’s a chance th
at I could be
a champion one day.
