Young sports stars

Are today’s young sports stars overpaid? It’s an opinion you’ll often hear repeated,
especially in the world of football. The figures are astonishing. When the Welsh player Gareth
Bale joined Real Madrid in 2013, his reported salary was around £250,000 a week or, if you
prefer, £13 million a year. So every week he earns as much as the average Real supporter
makes in ten years. This may be an extreme example, but there are a lot more footballers
around the world earning almost as much.
‫ األرقام‬. ‫هل نجوم الرياضة الشباب اليوم يقبضون اكثر من االزم؟ انه رأي نسمع بشكل متكرر خصوصا في عالم كرة القدم‬.
‫ وكان راتبه يبلغ حوالي‬، 2013 ‫ عندما انضم الالعب الويلزي غاريث بايل الى لاير مدريد في عام‬. ‫مثيرة للدهشة‬
‫ لذلك كل أسبوع أنه يكسب ما يكسبه المؤيد المتوسط‬.‫ في السنة‬£ ‫ مليون‬13 ‫ أو إذا كنت تفضل‬، ‫ في األسبوع‬£ 250،000
‫ ولكن هناك الكثير من العبي كرة القدم في جميع أنحاء العالم‬، ‫ قد يكون هذا مثاال صارخا‬. ‫لريال مدريد في عشر سنوات‬
‫يكسبون ما يقرب من نفس القدر‬
It’s a situation that makes some people very angry, but those who are infuriated by it
often forget what players have to do to get to the top, and the risks involved. A new book by
1
Wayne Barton tells the story of some of those who fell on the way up. These are young men
who achieved the dream of playing for the famous club Manchester United, but only had short
careers, often because of injuries. Take young Tony Gill, for example, who was on his way to
becoming a regular first team player when he hurt his leg and was never able to recover, or the
young forward Deiniol Graham, who broke his arm and never played professionally again
‫ ولكن أولئك الذين استشاطوا غضبا بسبب ذلك كثيرا ما ينسوا ما على الالعبين‬،‫انها حالة تجعل بعض الناس غاضبون جدا‬
‫ كتاب جديد كتبه واين بارتون يحكي قصة بعض من الذين‬. ‫القيام به للوصول الى القمة و المخاطر التي تنطوي على ذلك‬
‫ ولكن كان فقط افترة قصيرة‬، ‫ هؤالء هم الشباب الذين حققوا حلم اللعب للنادي الشهير مانشستر يونايتد‬. ‫سقطوا على الطريق‬
‫ الذي كان في طريقه إلى أن يصبح العب الفريق‬، ،‫ عى سبيل المثال الشاب توني جيل‬.‫في كثير من األحيان بسبب االصابة‬
‫ الذي تعرض لكسر في‬، ‫ أو إلى األمام الشباب دينول غراهام‬،‫األول عندما اصيب في ساقه وأنه لم يكن قادرا على الشفاء‬
‫ذراعه و لم يلعب مهنيا مرة أخرى‬
The list of these tragedies goes on, but the story that stands out is that of Giuliano
Maiorana. At the age of 19, he was playing for an amateur team in Cambridgeshire, England
when he was noticed by one of Manchester United’s many scouts, who was searching the lower
levels of football for promising young players. At first Giuliano thought the offer of a trial for
the world-famous Manchester club was a joke. It wasn’t – only months later, he played his first
match at United’s home ground, Old Trafford. He still remembers the mixture of excitement
and terror he felt then
، ‫ كان يلعب لفريق الهواة في كامبريدج‬، 19 ‫ في سن ال‬.‫ ولكن القصة المميزة هي قصة جوليانو مايورانا‬، ‫قائمة المآسي تطول‬
‫ الذي كان يبحث في المستويات الدنيا لكرة القدم عن الالعبين الشباب‬، ‫إنجلترا عندما الحظه واحد من كشافة مانشستر يونايتد العديدين‬

Unfortunately, he didn’t get on well with the manager, and was soon playing in the
reserve team. It was in a reserve match two years later that his knee was badly damaged. Soon,
at the age of 24, his career was finished. For seven years after that, he couldn’t even watch
football. He now works for his family’s business back in Cambridge, moving furniture, and
says that he now wishes he hadn’t been so good at football when he was young

What makes an Olympic sport
There are limits to how many sports can be included in the Olympic Games. In the 2012
Summer Games, there were 26, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have added
two more for 2016 (golf and rugby sevens). There are various criteria that the IOC bases its
decisions on, but the most important is probably international popularity. Sports tend to get
included if they have a tradition and are played and watched by enough people in enough
countries
، 26 ‫ كان هناك‬،2012 ‫ في دورة االلعاب االولمبية الصيفية عام‬. ‫هناك قيود على عدد الرياضات التي يمكن تضمينها في دورة االلعاب االولمبية‬
‫ هناك معايير مختلفة تستند عليها اللجنة‬. ) ‫ ( الجولف و الرجبي السبعات‬2016 ‫ ) بإضافة اثنتين في‬IOC( ‫و قامت اللجنة األولمبية الدولية‬
‫ تميل الرياضية للحصول على إدراجها إذا كان لديها تقليد ويلعبها و يشاهدها‬. ‫ ولكن األهم هو ربما شعبية الدولية‬، ‫األولمبية الدولية في قراراتها‬
‫عدد كاف من الناس في عدد كافي من البلدان‬
A change of mind
This leads to some interesting questions. Why, for example, was baseball included from
1984, but then dropped for 2012? Although some think it is only popular in the USA, it actually
has a large following in South America and Asia too. The main reason for leaving it out,
3
according to some, is a combination of geography and politics: there is little interest in the sport
in Europe, and European members are in a majority on the IOC.
‫ ولكن بعد ذلك اسقطت في‬، 1984 ‫ تم وضع البيسبول في الفترة من عام‬،‫ على سبيل المثال‬،‫ لماذا‬. ‫وهذا يؤدي إلى بعض األسئلة المثيرة لالهتمام‬
.‫ اال انها متابعين كثير في أمريكا الجنوبية و آسيا أيضا‬، ‫ ؟ على الرغم من أن البعض يعتقد أنها تحظى بشعبية في الواليات المتحدة فقط‬2012 ‫العام‬
‫ و االعضاء‬، ‫ هناك القليل من االهتمام في هذه الرياضة في أوروبا‬: ‫ هو مزيج من الجغرافيا والسياسة‬، ‫ وفقا لبعض‬، ‫والسبب الرئيسي لترك ذلك‬
‫االوروبيين هم االغلبية في اللجنة األولمبية الدولية‬
Two examples of strange decisions
Of the other sports not yet included, one that stands out is squash. It has a long tradition
and is played all over the world. It’s also more obviously a real sport than some other Olympic
‘sports’. In fact, it’s more mysterious why certain sports are included. Take speed walking, for
example, a long-standing Olympic regular. The rules say that the athletes have to have both feet
in contact with the ground at all times, and must keep their legs straight. The result, to me at
least, looks very silly
‫ انها لديها تقليد طويل وتلعب في جميع‬. ‫ واحدة التي تبرز هي االسكواش‬، ‫من الرياضات األخرى التي لم تدرج بعد‬
‫ انها أكثر غموضا‬،‫ في الواقع‬. ‫ كما أنها رياضة حقيقية أكثر وضوحا من بعض ' الرياضات ' األولمبية أخرى‬. ‫أنحاء العالم‬
.‫ الموجودة دائما في االولمبية منذ فترة طويلة‬،‫لماذا تم تضمين بعض األلعاب الرياضية مثل المشي السريع على سبيل المثال‬
‫ و يجب الحفاظ على‬، ‫وتنص القواعد على أن الرياضيين يجب أن يكون كال القدمين في اتصال مع األرض في جميع األوقات‬
‫ تبدو سخيفة جدا‬،‫ بالنسبة لي على األقل‬،‫ و نتيجة لذلك‬. ‫أرجلهم مستقيمة‬
Writers criteria
More importantly, it breaks one of my two personal rules for judging serious sports
because it puts artificial limits on what can be done. This is why I can’t take any sport
seriously if it involves doing something in water that is more naturally done out of water. My
other rule is that the scoring has to be objective and measurable, not a matter of opinion. And of
course both of these criteria would rule out everyone’s favourite example of an Olympic non-
sport: synchronised swimming
‫ فإنها تكسر واحدة من قاعد تيني الشخصية للحكم على الرياضية الجدية ألنها تضع قيودا مصطنعة على ما‬، ‫األهم من ذلك‬
‫ هذا هو السبب في أنني ال يمكن أن اخذ أي رياضة على محمل الجد إذا كانت تنطوي على فعل شيء في المياه‬.‫يمكن القيام به‬
‫ وليس مسألة‬، ‫ قاعدتي أخرى هي أن التسجيل يجب أن يكون موضوعي وقابل للقياس‬. ‫التي يتم بصورة طبيعية خارج المياه‬
‫ السباحة االيقاعية‬: ‫ و بالطبع فان هذه المعايير سوف تستبعد المفضل لدى الجميع من غير الرياضات االولمبية‬. ‫رأي‬

Hi
I’ve got some great news to tell you, or some good and some bad actually. First the good
part: last week I was chosen as captain of the school team! It’s really exciting, but at the same
time I must say I feel a bit frightened. Every time something goes wrong, everyone will blame
me, even if it’s not my fault. Still, I suppose that’s all part of being the captain.
Last week, I played my first match as captain. We won 3–1, which was good, but here
comes the bad part: I hurt my leg. It was my own fault because I was overconfident, trying too

14
hard to score an amazing goal. Anyway, the problem is that I don’t think I’ll be able to play in
the next match.
Enough about me. How are things with you? Please let me know how you’re doing.
Bye for now, Lama

Winning at all costs in sports

‫علمي‬ ‫الفوز بكل ثمن في الرياضة‬
There is too much money in sport nowadays and that pushed many people to say "The
more money there is in sports, the more corruption there will be". I am disappointed with this
saying.
There are different reasons for playing sports. Obviously, playing sports is fun. It gives us
something to do and a group to belong to. Besides, physical activities are a good way to relieve
stress and reduce depression. The challenge and love of victory and satisfaction of your fans
from your country are motivating factors for winning.
The increase of money in sport has led to corruption as clubs may use it as a tool to
achieve their goals by bribing some players from the competitive team in order to remain
competitive with other clubs and so rich teams are sometimes able to ‘buy success.
In my opinion, we should go back to the past to learn a lesson from the behavior of the
old players and how they were paying from their wages to keep their teams advanced because
the question became moral rather than seeking money
Read the text below then answer the questions that follow:
A. __________The Olympic Games first began in ancient Greece. They were of religious
significance, being held in honour of Zeus in Olympia, Greece. The games were held every four-
years with representatives from the various city- states competing in athletic sports like horse
racing, boxing, and wrestling. The Games were supposed to be a sort of peace or truce between
the city-states. It was called the Olympic peace by the Grecians. The ancient games were
cancelled by the Christian Emperor Theodosius as he considered them as a non-religious event.
B. __________Today too, it is held every four years, hosting various sports competitions. Pierre
de Coubertin the founder of the modern Olympic games and the IOC, believed that competition
must based on generosity, cooperation and understanding internationally. The first one was held
in Athens, and then Spain, and Atlanta and so on, with the hosting country changing every time.
Athletes worldwide, inclusive of age, gender, being able-bodied or disabled, can participate in the
various events and wide range of games that the International Olympic Committee has added like
baseball, synchronized swimming and speed walking. Regardless of political views, prejudices,
social, racial, or class barriers the main aim of Olympics were meant to bring countries together in

15
a moment of international cooperation. Despite this, politics come into play when deciding which
nation should be given the chance to host the games, and which countries should be prevented
from participating.
C. ___________The World Wars stopped the Olympic Games, and the Cold War saw limited
participation due to boycotts .The Games continued until 2020, when they were postponed due to
the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The modern Olympic Games began with the creation of in the International Olympic
Committee(IOC) in 1894. The IOC is responsible for choosing the host city for each Olympic
Games. The host city is responsible for organizing and funding a celebration of the Games. The
Olympic program, and the sports to be contested at the Games is also determined by the IOC. The
celebration of the Games encompasses many rituals and symbols, such as the Olympic flag and
torch, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.
The evolution of the Olympic Movement during the 20th and 21st centuries has resulted in
several adjustments to the Olympic Games. Some of these changes include the creation of the
Winter Games for ice and winter sports, the Paralympic Games for athletes with a physical
disability, and the Youth Olympic Games for teenage athletes. The IOC has had to adapt to the
varying economic, political, and technological realities of the 20 th and 21st centuries.
The Games have grown in scale to the point that nearly every nation is represented. Such
growth has created various challenges , such as boycotts, doping, bribery, and terrorism. At each
event of the games, the Olympics and its media exposure provide unknown athletes with the

16
chance to attain their national, and in some cases, international fame. The Games also constitute a
major opportunity for the host city and country to showcase themselves to the world .

Sport is such an activity that can be taken by anyone, at any age and any point in life.
Adults, children and elders, everyone alike can take part in sports. Many regard sports as a mere
co-curricular or extra co-curricular activities in schools. However, in reality, they play an
equally important role as education does in a person's life. To achieve overall and all around
development in life, one should be well versed in both sports and culture. While reading
sharpens the mind, sports sharpen the body. Thus, both are essential.
There are a lot of benefits of involving oneself in sport. First and foremost, it improves
the physical fitness of an individual as it controls weight gain. It also strengthens muscles and
bones. Moreover, practicing sports reduces health risk and increases people's stamina. However,
it’s not all about fun and physical fitness when it comes to sports. In fact, research shows that
sport can be as effective as medicine in improving mental health. Practicing physical sports
needs skills that improve concentration, Moreover, being physically active reduces stress and
helps you avoid negative thoughts.

 Socially, the qualities that sports bring into our lives are not really overstated, especially
for kids. Whilst playing sports can widen their social circles, it can also teach them valuable
social skills including independence and cooperation. Playing in a team means accepting and
exercising discipline. This means they will understand they will be punished for breaking the
rules. Apart from teaching them about teamwork, sport will teach children to take directions
from other adults, referees, and their coach. Not less importantly, it teaches them to be less
selfish and enhances their sense of belonging.
