Sports training
Parents whose children show special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision
to make about their children’s career Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and women? For many children, it means starting very young and school work, going out with friends and other interests have to take the second place It’s very difficult to explain to
a young child why he or she has to train for five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his friends are playing
Another problem is of course money In many countries, money for training is available from the government for the very best young sportsmen and women If this help cannot be given,
it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and money to support their child’s development – and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment etc… can be all very expensive
Trang 5Many parents are understandably worried that it is dangerous to start serious training at
an early age Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed
Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by starting young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person What is clear is that very few people do reach the top and both parents and children should be prepared for the failure even after many years of training
1 When a child is determined to train a sport, it means that ………
A he or she has to study much harder in class
B he or she needs to get the best marks in class
C his or her time must be devoted to school work
D his or her school work is considered less important than training
2 In many countries, it’s the government that………
A trains all of the young sportsmen and women
B provides the best young sportsmen and women with the money for training
C helps parents with the transport to competitions
D supplies the time and education for the best young sportsmen and women
3 Some doctors think that………
A training at an early age may cause damage to the muscles
B Young muscles can be properly developed by training hard
C by starting young, a child can reach the top as a sports person
D it’s dangerous for young children to play any sports
4 According to the author, parents and their children should………
A look forward to the failure
B be made to expect the failure
C think of the failure they may meet with
D prepare for many years of training
