READING
You are going to read a magazine interview with a sportswoman. Seven sentences have been
removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap (9-15).
There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.
THE NETBALL CAPTAIN
In our series on women in sport, Suzie Ellis went to meet
England’s netball captain.

Kendra Slawinski is captain of England’s netball team. When I

met her, she'd had a typical day for the weeks leading up to
next month’s World Championships: a day’s teaching at a local
school followed by a training session in the local supermarket
car park.
I was surprised to hear about her training venue.
‘Don’t you get strange looks?’ I asked her. ‘I’m too involved in what I’m doing - concentrating on
my movements and my feet - to see anything else,' she said. ‘I might notice cars slow down out of
the corner of my eye, but that’s all.’
‘My whole life now is all about making sure I’m at my absolute best for the Championships,' says
Kendra.
9) __E__________ ' These are her fourth World Championships and they are guaranteed to be
the biggest ever, with 27 nations taking part.
‘We’ll have home support behind us, which is so special,’ she says. ‘And it’s important that the
reputation of netball in this country should be improved. 10) _____H_______ A home crowd will
have expectations and give more support. People will expect us to start the tournament with a
good game.’
Their first game is against Barbados and it comes immediately after the opening ceremony. ‘11)
_____F_______ They have lots of ability.’
The England team are currently ranked fourth in the world. But, as Kendra points out, the World
Championships will be tough. ‘You have to push yourself to play each day, there’s no rest between
games as in a series. And you can still win an international series if you lose the first game. 12)
_____A_______ .’
In the fifteen years since she has been playing at top level, the sport has become harder, faster.
On court, players are more aggressive. ‘You don’t do all that training not to come out a winner,’
says Kendra.
‘13) _____C_______ We’re all friendlier after the game.’
Netball is also taking a far more scientific approach to fitness testing.
'It is essential that we all think and train like worldclass players,’ says Kendra.
‘14) __G__________ I see my role as supporting and encouraging the rest of the team.’
‘From the very beginning, my netball career has always been carefully planned,’ she says, ‘ 15)
_____D_______'
Doubtless she will coach young players in the future, but at the moment her eyes are firmly set on
her last big event. As she leads out her team in the opening candlelight ceremony, she is more
than likely to have a tear in her eye. Her loyal supporters will be behind her every step of the way.
