This is a fantastic first time effort with Keynote Braydon, well done! Your voice recording comes in at the right time. You have chosen simple, yet effective text styles and colour. Try to keep your build ins consistent also as the fire one didn't quite seem to fit in with the rest! Overall a top effort! Miss Crone :)

**Use the words below the passage to fill in the gaps in the passage itself**

The **modern** Olympics put great pressure on those taking part. Standards are extremely high because athletes are professionals, and work full-time at improving their **performance** __. It must be a real test of__ **nerve** to start a race in front of about 100,000 people, **especially** when you know that most of the other runners are going to be **faster** __than you. Some athletes end up using drugs to__ **boost** __their speed and strength. It is clear, though, that nerves still get the__ **better** __of many athletes, and they under-perform. What this story shows is that none of this is new. Many__ **centuries** ago the pressures were just **intense** as **now**.

**better boost centuries especially faster intense** **modern nerve now performance**

**One person who read this story said it ended too soon - it should have described the race itself. Say whether or not you agree, and why.**

**State whether you agree or disagree with the following statements and why.** Taking part is more important than winning We should put up statues of our Olympic gold medal winners Competing in the Olympics would not be enjoyable

**Unscramble the following sentences from the story** athletes him now other the watching were athletes line moving starting the the to were all beat competitors he knew one that the the to was

**The opening sentence in this story is a** **simile** **- a simile compares two things using the word ‘like’ or ‘as’. The idea is to draw on something familiar to the reader to help the reader imagine something else. Try coming up with your own comparisons to finish these statements.**
 * 1)  When the race started, the crowd roared like/as if
 * 2)  Poros burst out of the starting holes like/as if
 * 3)  The tension pressed down on Poros like
