Dave Rtarding has been playing football. “David, what do you like about the game?” “The main aspects owe for us to come up here, enjoy ourselves and we can meet up afterward and have a drink, that sort of thing.”“what about winning of losing? Does it matter which?”“No, that isn‟t the main reason we play. I mean it‟s always lovely to win, but the main reason we come here is as I said just to enjoy ourselves. It‟s not the end of the world if you lose.”“And how often do you play a week?”“We only play once a week. We play on Thursdays.”“What about keep fit? Is football a good way of keeping your body in trim?”“I must be. I‟ve noticed if I miss one week for whatever reason, the following week I ache the next day. If I played every week I don‟t ache, so it must help to keep you fit.”“Do you thick you‟re getting better, as you play more?”“I‟m probably not getting any better, because I‟m getting older.” And now old are you then?”“I‟m 29, going on 30.”“Still any ambitious to play for England, perhaps.”“I‟m surprised to have been picked actually, but now I don‟t have any aspirations to play for England. I think I am a bit old now.”And welcome to a small hall where fencing is being taught. And I‟m talking to Porling fairly. “Porling is it as dangerous as it looks?” No, I mean you might get a couple of bruises, but nothing bad.”“No, if you don‟t mind me saying so, you don‟t have to run around a lot while fencing. So do you keep fit while doing this particular sport?”“Yes, you do a lot, You don‟t more very far, but you do more about a lot.” ”Fencing has been called”“The brain sport” where you have to think very much what you are doing. Do you see fi like that?”“You do have to think about it. To work out which more you want to do. Because if you just go in there, attacking all the time, it‟s no good. You have to think about what you are doing.”“How long have you been fencing?”“Two and a half years.”“And have you seen yourself improved as the time has gone on?”“Yes, definitely.”“Would you like to take fencing for ever, perhaps take part in more competitions.”“Yes, I mean. I go to competitions now and they are really good. So I like to do a lot of them.”Badminton is the name of the game and I‟ve come into the man hall where the gameis being played by a lots of people, and two of these people are Lorry and Maria, “Lorry, how long have you been playing?”“It‟s since I was 21, I‟m now 62.” “So how often do you play badminton?”“I play twice a week.”“Is badminton a sport for people of all ages?”“Definitely, positively.”“Maria, how did you first get interested in badminton?”“I got interested when I was about 28 years of age, and I‟ve been playing for over 20 years now.”“Is badminton an easy game to learn?”“Well, if you played with a racket before, like if you‟re a tennis play, then it‟s easy to learn. But I think if you start from a young age. Yes, yes.”“You look very energetic, do you have to be very fit?” “Well, it depends on the standard of the game. I mean it depends on whom you‟re playing with. If you play with some good players, you do have to keep fit. And you have to be very quick.”“Do you play to keep fit or to have a bit of fun?”“No, just for relaxation, recreation and enjoyment, I get a great deal of pleasure out of playing badminton.”“So the keeping fit goes with playing the game. Doesn‟t it just part of it.”“Yes, I perhaps somewhat fortunate that I‟m reasonably fit, and always have been.。
