1) Phrases with 'believe'


In the video John said the phrase 'believe me', meaning that he is

telling the truth:

bow."

make believe:

I'll believe it when I see it:

used to say you don't think
something will happen

believe it or not:

unusual information

Now complete the sentences with the correct phrase. The

form of the phrase may need to be changed.

2) Quite

In the video John used the word 'quite':

"…requires really quite a large amount of physical strength."


'Quite' means something is less than 'very' but more than 'a
little'.

e.g. It is quite hot outside today.


'Quite' goes before a/an:


e.g. I own quite a large house.


'Quite' can also mean completely.


e.g. A: Does Tim live on this street?
B: Yes, I am quite sure.


'Quite' can also be used with 'not' – not quite – to mean not
completely.

e.g. A: Have you finished your homework?
B: No, I haven't quite finished it yet. I'm nearly done.

Script

Presenter


Hi I'm Natalie and welcome to Talking Sport.

Today we are hearing about the South Korean archery team and

learning the word demanding.

In the bow and arrow sport, archery, South Korea is the country to
beat in next year's Olympic Games.


South Korea came top of the medal table in archery in the last
Olympics, in Beijing.

This week BBC reporter John Sudworth has been to the South
Korean archery training centre.

Listen for how many hours a day the archers train for and listen for
the word demanding.


Clip


I don't know if you have ever tried to use a bow and arrow but

believe me the amount of tension you need just to tension the bow
like that, requires really quite a large amount of physical strength
and these guys are here 6 days a week, 6 hours a day, 300 arrows
a day. That's enormously physically demanding.


Presenter

Listen again for how many hours a day the archers train for and
listen for the word demanding.

.

Demanding means something needs a lot of effort, time or skill.


The training is very physically demanding.

Well, we have learnt about the adjective demanding.


Now let's listen to some people in London using this word.
