PART 1
Dialogino
Listen and do with a partner.
Listen again and read. Why is Lex on the Paralympic team? What does he do that you can’t?
Tyler Do you exercise much?
Bree I stretch every morning when I wake up. I climb the stairs to come here. And now I’m lifting my coffee cup.
Tyler Seriously? Well, today we’re talking about a real athlete: Lex Gillette.
Bree I think I know that name.
Tyler Yes. He’s amazing! He has four Paralympic silver medals for long jump.
Bree Wow!
Tyler Yeah and he’s blind.
Bree What? You mean he can run and jump, but he can’t see? How does he do it?
Tyler He practices more than 30 hours a week.
Bree Really? Hey, maybe he’s jumping right
now!
Tyler I don’t think so. It’s early, so I think he’s probably stretching now. Athletes stretch a lot, and they usually go to the gym and lift weights.
Bree But Lex can’t see, so how does he do the long jump?
Tyler When he runs, he knows the number of steps to take: 16. On the 16th step, he jumps.
Bree That’s scary! But it’s awesome!
