French

Presentation: Using a variety of tenses

Transcript and translation

I am fairly sporty and my favourite sport is hockey. For four years I have played in the school team. I train every Wednesday after school and we often have a match on Saturday mornings against another school. Mrs Lewis, the PE teacher who is also our coach, is very enthusiastic. Before being a teacher, she was a professional sportswoman. She won numerous championships and she teaches us a lot. I am left wing. In February, our team played in the regional final of the schools tournament. Unfortunately, we lost - but it was a close match. I also do judo twice a week and I hope to be an orange belt soon. My sister has been doing judo as well, since the age of six. I'm very proud of her because despite being much younger than me she already is an orange belt. After my exams I am going to do a tennis course. Then I will join the tennis club. I love watching this sport on television - the French Open in France and the one in Wimbledon in England - and I would like to learn to play well.
