Unit 7 Reading A
Footballers behaving badly –time
for a change?
In 1977, Pelé, one of the world’s greatest ever footballers,
wrote an autobiography called My Life and the Beautiful
Game. But how beautiful is football nowadays? There is
clearly a large increase in the number of incidents involving
football players behaving badly on the pitch. Players
frequently throw themselves dramatically on the ground
after they have been fouled, in the hope of winning a
penalty, or they shout abusive language at the referee for
making a decision against their team.
The government wants referees to take stronger action
against this kind of behaviour. They say that footballers
should remember that they are role models and heroes to
millions of boys and girls who look up to them and copy
their actions.
Our reporter spoke to Keith Johnson, who coaches an
under-16 team in Staffordshire. Mr Johnson agreed that
there was a definite link between the behaviour of players
in televised games and the way the children in his team
played the game. He said that kids in his team were always
diving to the ground, but the worst problem was the
language they used against the referee. He said that the
kids seemed to get more wound up than they used to.
However, Greg Reed, a member of the Professional
Footballer’s Association, which represents top stars in the
game, denied that footballers’ behaviour was worse than
any other profession. He asked why they received so much
media attention when other people, especially politicians,
behaved just as badly.
He said that he didn’t agree with swearing at referees,
but added that football was a fast-moving sport and as in
any job, people can get frustrated.
He also said that the referees themselves hadn’t
complained about the situation. He suggested that the
media focus less on the bad behaviour and more on the six
to eight hours of community work that footballers do when
they visit schools and hospitals, and so on.

A, B or C. (4 marks)

B the same as in the past.

BODY LANGUAGE
Three ways to improve your confidence
1◗ Everybody wants to make a good impression
when they meet someone for the first time, but did you
know that 80 per cent of the impression you give
comes not from the words you say but from your body
language? Following these tips will help you to feel
more confident and able to create a positive impact
when meeting strangers.
2◗ Make eye contact, but don’t stare. Too much eye
contact may seem aggressive or suggest romantic
interest. Not enough eye contact, on the other hand,
might make you seem unconfident or uninterested.
Something in the middle will indicate that you are
interested and relaxed. If you are in a group of several
people, shift your eye contact between the people you
are with since this will show respect for everybody in
the group.
3◗ Smile, but not too much. A smile can make you
look more warm, friendly and confident even when
you’re feeling nervous. Smile when you are introduced
to someone, but be careful – don’t keep a smile on
your face permanently or you’ll seem insincere. If
smiling feels unnatural to you, just relax your facial
muscles. This will not only make you seem more
relaxed, but it will also help you to feel it. Laugh when
someone makes a joke, but avoid laughing at your
own jokes, otherwise you’ll seem nervous.
4◗ Use your hands more confidently. Instead of
fidgeting with your hands, use them to add emphasis
to what you are saying. Exaggerated hand
movements, however, might make you seem nervous
or uncontrolled.
5◗ Remember that improving your body language will
not only increase your attractiveness, but it will also
make you feel more positive. However, to be
successful, it needs to be taken one step at a time.
Attempting to change all your habits at once might feel
overwhelming.
