First term 2025 Experience in English

Today, the 2021 World Men‘s Handball Championship in
Egypt finished. It has been the biggest handball tournament
ever. The Egyptian team did an excellent job and reached the
quarter finals (the last eight). There were over 600 competitors
from 32 countries. They have played over 100 games and scored more than 5,500 goals! All of
this was during the coronavirus pandemic. Many people said it wasn‘t possible, but the
contest in Egypt has been fantastic!

The medical team have worked for months to make the tournament safe. Firstly, there
haven‘t been any spectators. Also, the players and staff have had tests for coronavirus every
48 hours. Players and people working at the tournament have used four hotels and stayed
inside this ‘bubble’. These hotels all have a health centre and every team has had a doctor to
work with them. Lots of cleaners have worked day and night to clean the stadiums and the
hotels and make them safe. 'The medical team were from the Ministry of Health and the
Ministry of Youth and Sports. They have done such an incredible job that the organisers of
the 2021 Olympics in Japan have asked them for their advice. What an amazing achievement!

My friend Aya has always loved writing stories and poems.
When she was six, she won a prize for a poem she wrote! She
has already written a book of stories. Now, she's writing her
second book, but she hasn't finished it yet. She really likes to be
creative. She has played the guitar for three years now. She's
played in two concerts already. She felt very nervous but she
was amazing!

Aya would like to volunteer to teach writing and music to children one day. Her other
dream is to create an app to help children learn. She hasn't been to another country yet, but
there are lots she wants to visit! Maybe we can go travelling together.

Egypt has already won the Africa Cup of Nations! seven times.
That is a fantastic (an incredible) achievement! In 2023, the
contest (tournament) will be in the Ivory Coast, who have
already been winners (Champions) twice before. The players
(competitors) will be from 23 other countries and the games
will be in six different stadiums. The biggest stadium, in
Abidjan, holds 60,000 people (spectators). The organisers are sure that it will be a great success.
