SCRIPT:

Mike: Are you ready for the school sports day, Ella?

2
Ella: Not really, Mike. I hate sports day.
Mike: How can you hate it? It’s fun – and we don’t get any homework on that day.
Ella: No homework is good, but I still hate sports day. I can’t do any sports well, but my teacher always wants
me to be in the competitions. I always feel really silly and I never win any prizes.
Mike: Just find the right sport for you. Do you play tennis?
Ella: No, I don’t.
Mike: How about volleyball?
Ella: No, there is no right sport for me. What about you, Mike? What do you usually do on sports day?
Mike: Well, I can run very quickly and I can throw a ball far, so I always choose basketball on sports day.
Ella: Wait a minute. You can run quickly and throw a ball far – why don’t you join the basketball team? Then
you can play all the time.
Mike: My parents want me to improve my school marks first.
Ella: Oh, right. Good luck.
Mike: Wait and see. I’ve got the NBA in my future!
Ella: Well, I hope you’re right. Say, can I be your manager when you’re in the NBA? I’m good at organising
things.
Mike: Yes, you are good at organising things. Hmm. Maybe, but there’s one condition.
Ella: What’s that?
Mike: You’re a good student, and you can write well.
Ella: So? I’ve got good marks and I can write well. What’s the connection?
Mike: I’ve got some reports to write for school. You can write them for me. Then I can improve my marks and
join the basketball team!
Ella: Mike!
