Task 2. CHECKING!
Good evening. It’s 10.15 and it’s time for “The Asian Games report”. It’s the 3rd day of the Games. Well, today’s most important event was the women’s 200 metre freestyle. The Japanese Yoko was the first and got the gold medal. She made a new world record time of 1 minute 58 seconds. The Japanese athletes won two gold medals yesterday, and three the day before, so in the first three days they’ve won six gold medals.
Here we are in the Gymnasium. Lily, the Chinese gymnast, has just finished her display. She’s got an average of 9.5 points. That’s the best score today. Lily has won the gold medal.
And this is Lee Bong Ju coming from Korea. This is the 2nd time he competed in the long jump at the Asian Games. Last time he jumped 8.5 metres. Today he’s won a gold medal for men’s long jump. He jumped 8.9 metres.
Now, we’re waiting for the last high jumper, Vichai coming from Thailand. The bar is at 2.30 metres and ..it seems too high for him. Vichai has just jumped. Ooh. He has crashed into the bar. He’s landing. The bar has fallen, too. He’s getting up and walking away. But he is very disappointed.
