Reading
1. First I’d like to ask you some questions and please express your opinions freely.
What sporting events are performed in the Olympic Games?
Which of these sporting events do you like best? Why?
Do you know why these sporting events are held in the Olympics?
How can we try to enter a new sport into the Olympics?
2. If you want to get some information about how to enter a new sport into the Olympics, you can read the article in Part A on page 38. Find out how many parts there are in this article and what information each part talks about.
Let’s read the article part by part and try to find the detailed information in each part.
Part 1
What requirements must be met before a sport can be considered by the IOC?
First, a sport must have its own international association. Next, it must be practiced by men in at least 75 countries on at least four continents and practiced by women in at least 40 countries and on three countries. Besides, a current sport must be dropped.
Part 2
What sports have been removed from the Olympics? Why?
Golf, rugby, polo and power boating. Because these sports became less popular and had to make way for new, more popular sports.
Part 3
What sports have been added in the Olympics only recently? And in which year?
Tae kwon do, in 2000.
What other sports will probably be included? Why?
Rugby and golf. Because they are now very popular and are played all around the world.
Part 4
Which sport is still trying to get into the Olympics?
Wushu, a Chinese martial art.
Do you think it is possible for Wushu to become one of the sporting events in the Olympics? Why or why not?

Entering a new sport into the Olympics
Planning
Now let’s work in groups of four and discuss the Olympic rules for entering a new sport and choose a sport you think should/should not be in the Olympics and list the reasons why you think so. You should write down the name of the sport your group has chosen.
Preparing
Entering a sport into or dropping one from the Olympics can be quite a long process. There are many requirements that must be met before a sport can be considered by the International Olympic Committee. You may look for information as much as you can in different sources.
Producing
Now you each write a draft of your part. And put what you’ve written together. Remember to proofread the speech carefully to correct mistakes if there are any. New ideas can be added to make it more attractive.
Presenting
At last, you’ve got to present your speech to the whole class. Make the best of the chance to speak with confidence and prepare to answer any questions the other students may have.
