Part 2&3  A famous athlete答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

Well, I don’t really know much about sports. I’m not a very sporty person or very interested in sports. However, not so long ago I saw a documentary about a famous boxer called Muhammed Ali. He was born in 1942, and I think he died a few years ago now. Anyway, he became a really famous boxer in the 1960s, and beat some of the very best boxers in the world. He was also a very good speaker, and a charismatic individual, so he also became an actor and featured in numerous films. In the early 1980s, however, he developed Parkinson’s disease which many people thought had been triggered by his countless boxing injuries. 
The documentary I saw traced his life from childhood to his death, and his story is an interesting one. He’s an example of one of those people from a fairly modest background, who rose to fame through a combination of hard work and determination and a certain amount of chance and personality. In the mid 1960s he refused to enter into the US military to take part in the Vietnam War, as he had a moral objection to the war, and this annoyed the authorities somewhat, as it inspired many other fit and able men to also follow him and refuse to go to war as well! Anyway, I find these kind of documentaries very interesting, and a boxer, as far as I know, is regarded as an athlete, so… that’s the story of the athlete that I know a little bit about. 

All sorts. There isn't really one type that all Chinese people enjoy doing. Some people like jogging, some enjoy working out at the gym, some get involved in team sports like basketball, some play football… I know people who engage in a wide range of sporting activities and physical exercise. 

I think most good athletes, first and foremost, have a strong determination to succeed and a will to self-improve. You'd got to be ambitious and determined if you want to be an athlete, and that's the most important quality. If you have the drive and confidence, then that's half the hard work done… and you can go from there to develop a talent.

Physical education (PE) classes should not be entirely replaced by academic classes. Both types of classes are essential for a well-rounded education. PE promotes physical health and teaches teamwork and discipline, while academic classes develop cognitive skills. So, in general, I do not think it’s good to replace PE with academic subjects – schools should find a way to create a balanced curriculum. 

Identifying a child's talent for sports can be done by observing their performance, assessing their physical abilities, and providing opportunities for them to participate in various sports activities. Another way, that some people promote, is regular sports or physical education tests or exams. I, personally, am not a fan of this approach, but some would say that it is an important way to keep children motivated in sports, as well as assessing their competence and level of development in these areas.
