Reading and Writing A
READING
1 Read the article and tick () A, B, or C.
Fang Su
I used to be very competitive when I was younger. I hated losing! Now I’m older, I’m getting used to
slowing down. My husband and children were very excited about a Colour Run in Shenzhen, our city. The
race sounded a bit silly to me, but we entered as a family. We usually jog around the park together on a
Sunday morning, so 5k was a reasonable challenge for us. I have to admit, it was great fun. The aim of the
race is to get as messy as possible. At the start, everyone was wearing white clothes. And after every
kilometre, machines sprayed us with different coloured paint powder. There was no winner, and no-one was
told their time at the finishing line. At the end, I really wanted a shower! But my kids didn’t want to leave
because there was a party. So we listened to music and all got covered in even more paint!
Shuo
I don’t play anymore but when I was at school I was in a local football team. Most weeks we lost but I
remember how much fun it was to compete with all my mates. Well, I went to university and then moved to
Shenzhen. Of course, we all lost touch. Then a few months ago, I started working out at a gym near my
office. One day, I recognized Dishi from my old football team! We couldn’t believe it! We started a
Facebook group to find the old team and last week, five of us completed the Colour Run. I’ve just posted a
photo of us covered in paint. Maybe we’ll find the rest of the team now.
Hao
Last year, I entered a 10k running race. I wanted to do more exercise because I’d put on a bit of weight. I
lost two kilos, which was great. But I trained too hard and got injured so I couldn’t take part in the 10k. It
took me two months to recover and that’s when I heard about the Colour Run. It was a 5k race so it was a
simpler challenge, and the only aim was to have fun rather than getting a fast time. I entered with Chan from
my work. There are only three of us in the office so I already knew we got on well. We normally jog once or
twice a week after work and then we go to a café for a drink and a chat. We can’t talk while we jog … it’s
too tiring!
Example: Fang Su used to run faster when she was

younger. A True  B False  C
