Hy vọng đoạt giải môn chạy đường dài

Hi I'm Natalie and welcome to Talking Sport.

Today we are hearing about two long distance runners from Kenya and we will be learning the word aspiration.

School is where a lot of athletes first start their sport and today two of Kenya's top athletes are returning to their school.

Brother and sister Moses and Linet Masai have both won medals at the World Championships in the 10,000m and they are hoping to win more medals at next year's Olympics.

So let's meet the pupils at Moses' and Linet's school. What do they think of the athletes?

Listen for what the pupils' dreams are and listen for the word aspirations.

Clip

In a region where running is seen as a way out of poverty the pupils' aspirations come as no surprise. I am running 800m and 1500m. My dream - I want to be like Moses Masai. My dream is to be like Linet Masai. But for now they continue to live out their dreams through Linet and Moses.

Listen again for what the pupils’ dreams are and listen for the word aspirations.
