II. Read Leo's report about his favourite sport. Choose the correct answer A, B
or C.
"Water polo is a new sport at our school, but we have a good team now. We practise
after school on Thursday at the Northside Pool and we're doing well in the National
Schools Competition.
There are seven players in a water polo team. The game is a bit like football because
each team tries to score a goal with a ball. But in water polo you don't use your feet - you
catch and throw the ball with one hand. And you never stop swimming. A game lasts 32
minutes, and in that time you swim up and down a 30-metre pool lots of times. If you
aren't fit, water polo isn't the sport for you!
For me, it's great, because I love being in the water and I can swim fast. I also
enjoy being part of a team. We have some excellent players and we're all good friends. So
it's fun, and it's also a fantastic way to get fit."
