I

The day of the surfing competition was hot and sunny.

The waves were very big but Nick was a strong swimmer and his new board was good. He sat on it in the water and waited.

A big wave arrived and Nick started to swim strongly. Nick caught the wave well and stood up on his board. The people on the beach watched — it was exciting to watch.

Suddenly Nick heard a noise.

A surfboard hit his right arm. He fell from his board. A second big wave hit him and he saw Brian’s board coming at him.

His head went under the water. The water was in his mouth. His arm was hurt. He started to swim but it was not easy.

II

He sat down on his board and moved slowly towards the beach. He was tired and it was difficult to move his right arm. When he arrived, he put his board under his left arm. He could hardly walk.

People looked at him. Some of them started to talk to him, but he didn’t want to talk. He sat on the beach and looked at the waves. Janelle walked across the beach to him.

"Why did you fall, Nick? That was a good wave, and you caught it very well..."

"It was Brian. He came at me on his board and hit me. I hurt my arm — but perhaps it was an accident."

"An accident? I don’t think so. I saw him — he cut across¹ you. It was very dangerous."

"Well, I lost the competition. Brian has won — it’s goodbye to my plans to go to Australia before college."

1.

Ответ: Yes, Nick was a good sportsman in terms of his ability. He was a strong swimmer and caught waves well.

(Да, Ник был хорошим спортсменом с точки зрения своих способностей. Он был сильным пловцом и хорошо ловил волны.)

2.

Ответ: I think so because the text states he was a strong swimmer and he caught the wave well.

(Я так думаю, потому что в тексте говорится, что он был сильным пловцом и хорошо ловил волны.)

3.

Ответ: In the ocean, a surfboard hit Nick's right arm, causing him to fall from his board. Then a second big wave hit him, and he saw Brian's board coming at him. His head went under the water, and his arm was hurt.

(В океане доска для серфинга ударила Ника по правой руке, из-за чего он упал со своей доски. Затем его накрыла вторая большая волна, и он увидел, как доска Брайана приближается к нему. Его голова оказалась под водой, и его рука была повреждена.)

4.

Ответ: Janelle didn't think it was an accident. She believed Brian intentionally cut across Nick, saying, "I saw him — he cut across you. It was very dangerous."

(Джанель не думала, что это был несчастный случай. Она считала, что Брайан намеренно подрезал Ника, сказав: "Я видела его — он подрезал тебя. Это было очень опасно.")

5.

Ответ: Nick was upset about his fall because he lost the competition, and this meant he wouldn't be able to go to Australia before college, which was his plan.

(Ник был расстроен своим падением, потому что проиграл соревнование, а это означало, что он не сможет поехать в Австралию до колледжа, что было его планом.)
