Did you always want to be a professional athlete? He was a very famous baseball player. One of the cyclists fell during the long race. I think divers must be very brave. Why do golfers wear those funny trousers? Gymnasts seem to get younger and younger every year. I saw quite a few joggers when I went out early this morning. Those runners are in training for a marathon. Ive only been once so Im not an experienced skier. Snowboarders do the most amazing stunts. One of the British swimmers went to my brothers school. This beach is really popular with windsurfers. There were many more competitors this year. They didnt realise that their opponents were so good.

It costs a lot of money to join a gym. Lets meet at the ice-skating rink at half past six. There were long traffic queues near the motor-racing circuit. Have you ever tried an artificial ski slope?

I think palm tops are ingenious but I cant afford one. Many labour-saving devices were invented in the USA. The laptop was the first really portable computer. The wheel was a simple idea but it changed how we live. Word processors have proved to be extremely useful. An electric gadget is useless in the desert. A space blanket would be an unusual present.

Mel Gibson is great in action films. The technical quality of animated films these days is amazing. I cant bear those channels that only show cartoons. We only go to the cinema to see comedies.

die Schauspielerei Actionszenen Schauspieler Schauspielerin Animation Darsteller/-innen Regisseur/-in Filmstar Hauptrolle, zentrale Figur Visagist/-in hier: Aufnahmen Handlung Produzent/-in Drehbuch The acting in that new film is awful. The action scenes must have taken hours to film. My brother wanted to be an actor when he was little. She won the award for Best Actress. You can study animation at university now. The cast were excellent. The director comes under strong criticism in this magazine. I dont think film stars can lead normal lives. The main character in the film travels through time. Make-up artists have a lot of work with science fiction films. There was some very good photography taken on a desert island. The plot was non-existent. The producer suggested cutting some of the scenes. The screenplay was very similar to the book.

The pickpocket took my wallet. The robbery took place at lunchtime. The robbers escaped in a red car. Supermarkets lose a lot of money through shoplifting. Shoplifters will be prosecuted. Tight controls at airport have made smuggling more difficult. Smugglers used this beach two hundred years ago. Have you reported the theft? The thief took my purse out of my handbag.

There arent enough places on information technology courses. Its difficult to get into university to study law. I didnt enjoy the modern literature that we had to study. Why do so many people hate maths? Its better to begin modern languages at primary school. Music is interesting, but music theory can be boring. British schools dont teach philosophy.
