The ad spot<br />
Commentator It's summer time again, and I'm here at<br />
Wimbledon and that means tennis. This year<br />
there will be another exciting championship.<br />
All the best players from around the world<br />
are here. The Americans, the Germans, the<br />
Italians, the Swedes and the Spanish. It's<br />
going to be a very exciting championship.<br />
One player in the championship is Margaret<br />
Baxter. Everyone hopes that she will win,<br />
but this year Margaret hasn't been playing<br />
well. In fact, she hasn't won a game all year.<br />
Margaret, it's been a bad year for you.<br />
Margaret Yes, Simon.<br />
Commentator What's gone wrong with your game?<br />
Margaret I don't know, Simon.<br />
Commentator You don't hit the ball very often.<br />
Margaret You're right. Hitting the ball is a problem.<br />
Commentator And when you hit the ball, you can't get it<br />
over the net.<br />
Margaret Yes. Getting the ball over the net is rather a<br />
big problem.<br />
Commentator The British supporters don't like it.<br />
Margaret Playing tennis would be easier with no net.<br />
Commentator Margaret, some newspapers are saying that<br />
you are the worst player in the<br />
championship.<br />
Margaret Yes.<br />
Commentator Other newspapers are saying that you have<br />
the wrong racquet for the modern game.<br />
Margaret Are they?<br />
Commentator Yes. The new Frazer racquet is more<br />
modern. It's simply a better racquet.<br />
Margaret Yes. It's much better. Playing tennis is much<br />
easier with the Frazer racquet. I'm going to<br />
be the new Wimbledon champion.<br />

Danny Good evening. Hello. My name's Danny Dodds.<br />
How are you? Are you well? What? Do you think<br />
I'm too fat? You do, do you? You think I look rather<br />
fat. Yes, well. I visited my doctor last month. He<br />
said, 'Do some exercise. Playing games is good for<br />
you'. So I've started playing chess. I play quite well<br />
now, but I'm still too fat. My doctor said, 'Go out in<br />
the fresh air,' so I went fishing with my son.<br />
Fishing's great ... very relaxing. I thought I was<br />
quite good at fishing. I caught a fish. It was big. It<br />
was very big. It was really big!!! It was quite big. It<br />
was fairly big. It was ... oh, never mind. Thanks.<br />
<strong>That's</strong> all from me. Good night. You've been great.<br />

Final - a big football match in May.<br />
Robin I love going to see a good cricket match.<br />
DOCUMENTARY<br />
Sara (VO) Cricket is one of the typically British sports.<br />
Gary (VO) Cricket is a very old game. Some people think it<br />
started in the Middle Ages, and in the 18th<br />
century it became the favourite sport of British<br />
high classes.<br />
Sara (VO) "Lord's Cricket Ground", in London, is cricket's<br />
cathedral. This has been a centre for cricket<br />
since 1814. And even nowadays the most<br />
important matches are played here.<br />
Gary (VO) For example, the matches between the <strong>English</strong><br />
national team and teams from other<br />
Commonwealth countries.<br />
Sara (VO) The best way to find out what cricket is, is to go<br />
outside London, to any small village in England.<br />
This is the cricket ground in Ockley, a small<br />
village near London.<br />
Gary (VO) The cricket season is from April to September.<br />
In spring and summer, thousands of amateur<br />
players practise their favourite sport with one of<br />
the many non-professional teams in the United<br />
Kingdom. But, what makes cricket so important<br />
for the British? This is the question we asked<br />
Rod<br />
Cowles<br />
Rod Cowles, a member of the Ockley team.<br />
Possibly because it's a part of the British tradition.<br />
And we've been playing cricket in this<br />
country for possibly a hundred, a hundred and<br />
fifty years. Like during the winter where the<br />
football and rugby is so important that's always<br />
on the news and in the papers, in the summer it's<br />
totally cricket, and if we do badly during the<br />
summer against the team we're playing that year,<br />
it's disaster. If we do...doing well, then<br />
everybody's happy. It's very important for the<br />
British people. It is the summer sport in
