For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer by matching the people below with the following texts.

Choosing a Group Sport

The people below all want to try a sport as a group. Below are descriptions of eight sports clubs or sessions. Decide which would be the most suitable for each person. For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer.

Ben

Ben and four colleagues want a sport that helps them get fit quickly. They prefer early mornings before work. They like competition and want clear progress, like times or levels. They can travel a little, but they do not want anything dangerous.

Oskar

Oskar and his classmates want a team sport they can do in the city centre on weekday evenings. They do not want to buy special equipment at the beginning. They want a coach because they are beginners, and they would like to play short matches.

Leila

Leila is organising a Saturday activity for a mixed group of adults. Two people are complete beginners and feel nervous, so the sport must be friendly and safe. Leila would like an outdoor option, and the group wants to finish with a social drink or snack together.

Hana

Hana wants to join a sport with her brother and two cousins during the school holidays. They enjoy water, but they are not confident swimmers. They need all equipment provided and a qualified instructor. They would prefer an activity that is calm, not fast or scary.

Maya

Maya wants to start a sport with three friends after work. They need something indoors because it is winter. Maya has a knee problem, so she prefers a low-impact activity. They also want to talk and laugh while they play, not do very hard training.

What to do

This task is a long one, so don’t worry, it cannot be done quickly!

Your task is to match eight texts with five people. There are three texts which you will not need.

It’s important to find out what the different people want before you look at the eight texts.

Don’t choose an answer just because it contains the same words as the question. Read the texts carefully to check the meaning is correct.

This part of the test cannot be done quickly because you need to read the details in each text carefully, and you may have to go back to a text and re-read it several times.

When you are sure you have found an answer, you may want to cross out that particular text as you will not need to read it again.

Strategy

  1. Read the five descriptions of people and underline the key words.
  2. Now read one description and try to find the matching text. The correct text must have all the points that the person requires. For example, if a person wants a romantic book that is short, you must find a text which matches the two requirements: romantic and short.
  3. Usually, the correct answer will not contain exactly the same words as the person’s description. You may have to recognize different ways of saying the same thing, for example, ‘love story’ instead of ‘romantic’, and ‘a book | can read quickly’ instead of ‘a short book’.
  4. If you think that there are two texts that seem to match the same person, read the description and the two texts again carefully. Only ONE text will match ALL of a person’s requirements.
  5. Check that the option you have chosen ts correct by trying to find out why the other options are incorrect.
