My English Homework Three students of English tell us about doing homework Janine My second lesson on Monday morning is English, so I do my homework at the weekend, but I don’t manage my time very well. I always plan to do it on Friday evening, but then I often go out with my friends. I sometimes do sport on Saturdays and I spend Sunday with my family, so I usually do my English homework on Sunday evening before I go to bed. Luis I have English three times a week, but that’s OK because it’s my favourite subject. We have homework after every lesson and I always do it when I get home. Some of my friends waste time surfing the Net, but I don’t – my homework is the first thing I do.

Progress Test 5 Reading Read the text and answer the questions. 1 How long was the longest chess match? 2 Who won the chess match in 1984-85? 3 What needed one week to finish? 4 How long does someone need to finish the Volvo Ocean Race? 5 What did Reid Stowe do before he went on his long trip? CrRaAzZyY aAbBoOuUtT sSpPoOrRtTsS? Do you like chess? How long can you play when you’re really enjoying a match? A few hours? All day? The longest chess match took place between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov. The match began on 10 September, 1984 and finished on 15 February, 1985. Kasparov and Karpov played 48 games in five months, but there wasn’t a winner – a man called Florencio Campomanes decided to stop the match because he was worried about the two players. Everyone knows that you play chess sitting down, but you don’t sit down when you’re playing sports like football and basketball. So, what do you think about a really long football match – 169 hours long? That’s seven days! It happened in 2019 in Wales, in the UK. And, in the Philippines in 2014, a basketball match took place and the two teams played for 120 hours, 1 minute and 7 seconds! I get tired just thinking about those matches! Is sailing your favourite activity? Well, the Volvo Ocean Race across the earth’s different seas is a 72,000 km race. Do you want to try it? You have to know lots of things, and you’re going to be away for nine months. But that isn’t the longest journey in a sailing boat. A long time ago, in 1978, Reid Stowe built a boat. (He had a plan to go around the world, but he had to wait). He left New Jersey, in the USA, in 2007. In 2010, Stowe finished his journey after travelling the world’s oceans for 1,152 days! 50
