Part 3: Read the four opinions posted on a sports forum. Then, answer the
questions.
Person A: I am really into sports, and am always up for trying new games.
When I traveled to Canada with my family, I tried curling. I have never played
it before because I live in a hot country. I thought it would be a piece of cake.
How hard can a sport that uses a broom be? Well, I was wrong. In fact, you
actually need a lot of upper body strength and balance to succeed. Needless to
say, I’m writing this the day after with bruises from falling over!
Person B: I had just moved to the United States and wanted to make friends at
my school, so I signed up for the football team. When I arrived at try-outs, we
began with some agility drills and the coach seemed pretty impressed with how
fast I could sprint. Then, we were asked to throw an oddly-shaped ball as far as

we could, and I was confused. It was then I realized that the try-outs were for
American football, not European football, or soccer as it is called here. No
wonder I was the smallest person there!
Person C: When I was younger, I never wanted to play team sports. My dad
would always encourage me to join a team, but I was not interested. It’s not that
I don’t like physical activity. I love individual activities like swimming and
running. My sister, who is the captain of her school’s volleyball team, teases me
and says I can’t handle competition. However, I think of myself as a very
competitive person. I am always trying to achieve new personal targets and beat
my last timing.
Person D: Growing up, my brothers used to watch professional basketball
matches on TV, but I never understood the appeal. Despite this, I fell in love
with the energy in the crowd of a live sports match. My school has a really great
basketball team, and I know a few people who are on it. I get really into the
games and scream my loudest to cheer on my friends. It makes me feel so
proud. Playing it is a different story though. You wouldn’t catch me on a
basketball court even as a substitute!

F. Carrying out a carefully prepared operation
G. Looking for a home for the islands’ tortoises
H. The start of the conservation project
Flying tortoises
An airborne reintroduction programme has helped conservationists take
significant steps to protect the endangered Galapagos tortoise.
1. On Galapagos island, only the thick vegetation at the skirt of the peak of
Sierra Negra offers accommodation for animals. This difficult environment
is home to the giant Galapagos tortoise. Around five million years ago, many
tortoises started to live on the island. The different populations adapted to
their unique environments, giving rise to at least 14 different subspecies.
Island life agreed with them. In the absence of predators, they grew to
become the largest tortoises on the planet, weighing more than 400
kilograms, occasionally exceeding 1.8 metres in length and living for more
than a century.
2. Before human arrival, the tortoises numbered in the hundreds of
thousands. From the 17th century onwards, pirates took a few on board for
food, but the arrival of whaling ships in the 1790s saw this exploitation grow
strongly. Relatively immobile and capable of surviving for months without
food or water, the tortoises were taken on board these ships to act as food
supplies during long ocean passages. Sometimes, their bodies were
processed into high-grade oil. In total, an estimated 200,000 animals were
taken from the island before the 20 th century. When settlers came to the
islands, the number of tortoises even reduced more strongly. They hunted the
tortoises and destroyed their habitat to clear land for agriculture.
3. Today, only 11 of the original subspecies survive and of these, several are
highly endangered. In 1989, work began on a tortoise-breeding centre just
outside the town on the island, dedicated to protecting the island’s tortoise
populations. The project is to save the tortoises’ population.
4. The problem was also a pressing one. Captive-bred tortoises can’t be
reintroduced into the wild until they’re at least five years old and weigh at
least 4.5 kilograms, at which point their size and weight are sufficient to
protect them from predators. But if people wait too long after that point, the
tortoises eventually become too large to transport.

5. For years, repatriation efforts were carried out in small numbers, with the
tortoises carried on the backs of men over weeks of long, treacherous hikes
along narrow trails. But in November 2010, the environmentalist and
Galapagos National Park liaison officer Godfrey Merlin, a motor yacht
captain and a helicopter pilot gathered around a table in a small café in
Puerto Ayora on the island of Santa Cruz to work out a more ambitious
reintroduction. The aim was to use a helicopter to move 300 of the breeding
centre’s tortoises to various locations close to Sierra Negra.
6. This effort was made possible by the owners of the 67 – metre yacht
White Cloud, who provided the Galapagos National Park with free use of
their helicopter and its experienced pilot, as well as the logistical support of
the yacht, its captain and crew. The yacht’s helicopter has a rear double door
and a large internal space that’s well suited for cargo, so a wooden box was
designed to hold up to 30 tortoises with a total weight of about 150
kilograms.. During a period of three days, a group of volunteers from the
breeding centre worked around the clock to prepare the young tortoises for
transport. Meanwhile, park wardens prepared time in remote locations,
cleared landing sites within the thick brush, cacti and lava rocks.
7. Upon their release, the small tortoises quickly spread out over their
ancestral territory, investigating their new surroundings and feeding on the
vegetation. Eventually, one tiny tortoise came across a fully grown giant
who had been living around the island for around a hundred years. The two
stood side by side, a powerful symbol of the regeneration of an ancient
species.
