Ma jie: When I’m at school, I’m often very tired. I have to stay up very late at night to finish my homework because I spend all afternoon with my basketball coach. I know that I’m not doing my best at school. That makes me feel sad because I like to try

my hardest at everything. When I play basketball, I sometimes make mistakes, and don’t play well because I’m thinking about my studies, and I feel worried that I’m falling behind.I want to be good at my studies and be good at basketball – I want to do both things well. I feel confused and sad because I don’t know how to do both. Lots of people play a sport and do well at

school. I want to learn to balance both of these activities. My coach says that I have a special ability, and that it would be wrong not to use it. He says that very few people can play basketball as well as I can – I should be willing to give up other things in my life so that I can focus on playing. But my parents tell me that sport cannot take the place of a good education. They say that I could get

injured; also, you can’t be 100% sure that you will be able to play basketball like Yao Ming in the future. They believe that it is more important to study hard and prepare for a job in the business world.I agree with both of them. I’m lucky to be so good at basketball. It would be silly not to try and become the best I can be, but I also think a good education is one

of the most important things there is. I know that even if I become very good at basketball, there might be a day when I’m too old or injured, and I will need a good education to help me find a good job.

C What reasons can you think Ma Jie

will give?

Why didn’t these solutions work?

1. Both things take a lot of time.

2. Two days a week is not enough

training.

3. I failed two exams and my parents were

very disappointed.

4. If I don’t play, I’m not happy.

Page 18: Task Writing a website article to give advice 江苏 李爱玲

Ma jie: The first thing I tried was just working harder at everything. I thought that maybe I could do well at school and get better at basketball at the same time. But that idea didn’t work because both things take a lot of time, and there are just not enough

hours in one day to do my very best at both things. Then I thought I could focus on school, and just play basketball at the weekend. But my coach is right when he says that two days a week is not enough training if I want to become very good.For a few weeks I studied less. I thought that maybe I could still get average marks,

Page 20: Task Writing a website article to give advice 江苏 李爱玲

even if I did not spend much time studying. That was a huge mistake, because I failed two exams and my parents were very disappointed.I’ve thought about quitting basketball too. Lots of people don’t play a sport and they are happy, right? But not me. If I don’t play basketball, I’m not happy.What do you think I should do?
