A TENNIS PLAYER'S LIFE

Week 1: Wednesday 13th of September
My first tennis class of the season. I went with a friend. I was very excited and scared too, because we had a new coach. Before going to class I thought that I was going to play very bad, because I didn't train since June. But when the class started, I felt very good and happy to be back on the court. Honestly, I didn't play bad.

Week 2: Saturday 23th of September
We did a lot of exercices and we ran a lot. I was doing drive and backhand well, but not the services. I did a lot of double faults! And our coach announced us that we have a tennis match next week against CT Girona... We have to get prepared.

Week 3: Sunday 1st of October
Our first match of the season. I was very nervous. I lost my individual match, I played bad, but my friend won her match and we won the doubles. She played really well, but not me. I have to improve. Anyway, we were very excited, because we won CT Girona, one of the best teams in Catalonia!

WRITING ABOUT AN ACTION THAT HAS MADE A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR LIFE

Hi Kate,
How have thimgs been doing? Since the last time we talked, I've began playing tennis with friends.
When I was younger I've been training lonely or with boys who weren't my friends. I used to think that playing tennis was boring, but when I started training with my friends I changed my opinion. I started enjoying a lot playing tennis and doing sport.
Basically, we're training every Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning, and some weekends we play competitions in different tennis clubs in the province of Girona. Last year we played the Catalonia Championship, but we lost in the first round in Granollers. To be honest, when I wake up on Saturday morning I don't want to get up and go to tennis train. But when I'm there I enjoy it a lot. I've improved a lot this last year, because I've taken it more seriously.
Tennis has changed my life a lot!
Natàlia

ASKING FOR AND GIVING ADVICE

Irina→ Hi, I want to take a year off to travel and work before university. Where would you

go if you were me?

Natàlia→ If I were you, I’d go to Germany. My advice would be to calculate the cost of your

year off, so Germany isn’t too expensive.

Irina→ I’m agree, but would you suggest me any job there?

Natàlia→ I think that the best option for a person that doesn’t have a degree,

it’s working as a waiter. Make sure that you get a part-time job, because you would have

more time to explore the country.

Irina→ Okay, and it’s also useful for my work experience.

Natàlia→ You should find someone to travel with. You won’t feel lonely.

Irina→ Thank you, I will read travel articles of Germany.

Natàlia→ You’re welcome.
