1 Read about a special school.
1 Why is the school special?
2 Do you like the school? Why/Why not?
Every summer, 15-year-old Luke Jones goes to a school. But he doesn’t study maths, English or history at this school. The school is a special football academy and Luke studies how to play football.
Football is Luke’s favourite free-time activity. One day he wants to be a professional football player.
At the academy Luke begins at nine o’clock. His parents take him to the academy. It’s inside a special sports centre. But his mum and dad don't stay because the teachers don’t want parents to watch the lessons.
The first lesson begins. It’s a training session. Luke does special exercises with the ball. At 11 o'clock the students stop and have water, fruit and an energy bar.
From 11,45 to 12.45 they play football again. At 12.45 Luke and his friends have lunch. They have a special lunch to give them energy to do more exercise in the afternoon.
After lunch, from 1.45 to 2.30, they don’t play football.
They play other sports. But from 2.30 to 3.30 they have a football match. Then it’s time to have a shower and go home. Luke usually goes home by bus. In the
evening, Luke usually watches football on TV or he sometimes plays one of his computer games. It's
| always a computer game about football, of course!

¢ he doesn't dive into the sea or a normal pool.
Do you love diving into the water on a hot summer's day? Diving can be great fun but it can also be really dangerous.
Just imagine diving from a cliff that is 26 metres high! A cliff dive begins like any other dive, but the divers must always enter with their feet first, to protect their arms, shoulders and neck. The dive lasts
hard for hours and hours to be able to do it safely. When they hit the water, they're moving fast, at about 90 kilometres per hour (kph)! At that speed, if they make a small mistake, the consequences can be terrible. The weather and the state of the sea make a difference to each dive.
When the sea is moving a lot, the divers can’t calculate the dive well and the competition stops.
A sign of the recent popularity of diving is the British TV programme Splash!. In this programme, famous people learn to dive from a height of up to ten metres.
