B Read the text about Andy. Then underline the correct answer to complete the sentences: a), b), c) or d).
Iwasalittlebitfat,alwaystiredandnotveryfitsoIwantedtodosomesport.
My only problem was that I didn’t know what to do. I’ve got an old bicycle but I
didn’t enjoy cycling because there are a lot of cars on the roads. It’s dangerous!
My parents told me to wear a helmet but my helmet was too big for me. Then
I started going to the gym. That was boring! I didn’t know anybody there. So I
decided to take up swimming. I didn’t like that very much. I swam up and down
with nobody to talk to. The water hurt my eyes, the pool was crowded and the
swimming pool was a long way from my house.
Then a friend asked me to join their volleyball club. I played at school a few times
and I enjoyed it. I wasn’t very good at it but I knew some of the rules so I decided to
join. I started a month ago. We train at the local sports centre. We practise every
Monday and Wednesday and then on Saturday or Sunday we have a match. On
the practice days we do a lot of exercises so I am losing weight and getting very
fit.ThereareaboutsixteenofussowehavetwoteamsandInowhavelotsof
friends. I really enjoy it and I never miss a practice day.

All the best,
Susan
