1 Read the paragraph below. Answer the questions.
I am Kelso Griffiths and I am fourteen years old. I am training to become a champion cyclist. I get up at five every morning to train before I go to school. I dislike getting up so early, but I need to be fit if I am to qualify for the Junior Championship next year. I learned to ride a bike when I was five years old. I love the feeling of freedom I getwhen I'm on my bike. For me, cycling is the best sport in the world.
