Whatare three |
feasons to take up
the sport?
Jumping on a bike that has no brakes and a tiny saddle, and then
racing around a track at terrifying speeds seems unwise. What's
more, you're pedalling at 110-130 revolutions per minute, and
your muscles are screaming in agony at the effort. Forget that advice
5 you always got as a child to Keep clear of other riders — as a track
cyclist, you need to cycle so close to others
that the handlebars are touching. It's
enough to put anyone off, right? Not
at all! Here are THREE awesome
1 reasons to take up track cycling.
FBSE1. You're following in the footsteps (or
pedals?) of local champions.
World champion cyclists Wong Kam-po and Sarah
Lee Wai-sze are two local success stories
4s. who are raising the profile of track cycling in
Hong Kong. These two athletes are both great
role models. Sarah Lee is particularly inspiring as.
she brought home Hong Kong's first Olympic medal
in cycling after competing in the keirin event at the
London 2012 Games. Other cyclists are on the up,
and wouldn't it be cool to be one of them!
2 Hong Kong has great facilities.
‘When Wong Kam-po won gold in the men's
road race at the 2006 Asian Games, the HKSAR
2s Government agreed to build a state-of-the-art
velodrome in Hong Kong. Opened in Tseung Kwan
in 2013, it means that it's now unnecessary for
up-and-coming local cyclists to go to mainland
China to train. The Hong Kong Velodrome can also
host large track racing events. To local enthusiasts’
delight, a round of the Track Cycling World Cup
was held for the first time in 2016.
Hong Kong Velodrome
This world class velodrome has a 250-metre
cycling track and seating for 3,000 spectators,
It boasts other facilities such as a climbing wall,
Jogging track and skatepark.
3 It'll make you a better cyclist.
Many road cyclists say that the intensity of track
as cycling makes them fitter and faster. As track
cyclists need to cycle very fast, they're experts at
controlling their bikes. This leads to fewer accidents:
when back on the road. Cycling indoors has other
advantages too. There are no pedestrians or stray
dogs that get in your way. You don't need to stop
at traffic lights either — you can concentrate just
on cycling.
Seize life by the
handlebars!

When you write a script, pay attention to the following:
«+The dialogue is usually written in a conversational style, with informal language oO
and contractions (e.g, Hey, how's it going?)
The characters should interact, so the dialogue usually includes:
— questions (e.g. Are they climbing over the wall?)
— short answers (e.g. Yes, they are.)
‘+ Adverbs and adjectives in brackets are used to describe how to speak the
dialogue or what emotions to display when necessary, €.8.
Watson: (quickly) Hury! They're getting away!
Holmes: (angry) Not if can help it!
Work in pairs Read the scrip! on page 58 again. Undertine the parts ofthe script that follow the
guidelines and make notes about them in the blue box.
Now write your script with your partner. When you have finished, use the guidelines above as

Work with another pair. Take tums fo perform your script fo the other pair, who should mark your
criminals’ escape route on the map on page 59 as they listen. Did they mark the correct route?
