1. Read the text and do the assignments.
SUE GLASS, RACING DRIVER Sue Glass had a car accident when she was eight so she didn’t
like driving. When she grew up this was a problem, because she got a job with a car company. Then
six years ago she met Julian Swayland, a racing driver, and she told him she was afraid of cars. He
wanted to help, so he took her to Brands Hatch, a Grand Prix racing circuit. He drove her round
corners at 100 mph and she loved it. Then she heard about a special motor racing course. She did the
course with five men and was amazed when she got top marks. She says: ‘I think I did well because
I listened to everything the teacher said. I needed to because I was so afraid. The men often didn’t
listen. The best moment was my first championship race. I didn’t win but I came fourth. I beat 20
men. I love the excitement of motor racing but it’s a dangerous sport and I’m always very
frightened.
