  1. 1. It's a kind of an interesting fact that Michael Phelps can look at music is kinda being like a soundtrack to his life. " You know there's a song for everything that I've done in my career. You know like I can you know if I hear so I can think back to this moment or that moment you know obviously like Lil Wayne, Eminem, you know those guys have .. Had some pretty good lyrics that could kinda of I guess I think compared to my life and things I've done"
    Also another interesting fact is that when Viktoria Azarenka started to play tennis her idol was Steffi Graf, she really enjoyed watching her playing on court, bc she was always so focused and she thinks she has the same mentality as her.
    2. Viktoria Azarenka:
    Did you ever imagine coming from such a small country that u could've ended up being the number one player in the world in a Grand Slam champion?
    Who is the toughest player for you to play against?
    Does that come from your coming from a small country, a country that was competing in broke away from Russia is that come from the origin that competitive nature ? ( about her mentality)
    etc
    3. I would definitely ask them like what is their advise for smaller sportsman.
    Although I would ask them what was their inspiration.
    4. I guess
    You know
    I mean
    I think
    For me
    Well
    5. In fact they all worked really much to achieve their goals. Furthermore they were looking forward like you know finishing like they wanted to and it was something big and important for them. For example Viktoria Azarenka always knew that she will be the best, actually it was a kind of a thing that inspired her not to stop doing what she likes. Michael Phelps tried to focus only on his own goals and if he got them done it didn't really matter if anybody else did. David Beckham had a lot of people who believe in him ( like his family, than fans etc). I guess that the reason why they all succeed is that the all believed in themselves.

  3. I have watched an interview with David Beckham. It was really interesting.
    Firstly, I learned that Beckham stays in California because his family feels comfortable and happy in this town. Also he made this decision because he feels that soccer is growing in this country. Furthermore, I was amazed that he is a UNICEF ambassador.
    The reporter asks special questing like ‘’what made you make that choice?’’, ‘’how do you do it all?’’, ‘’what did you miss from Real Madrid?’’. In addition, there were a few questions with ‘’or’’. For example ‘’your little girl, Harper, is she more like a Spice Girl or is she more like a soccer girl?’’.
    I’d like to ask a few questions about personal life and secrets of David Beckham.
    There were a lot of spoken phrases in the answers of this interview. Such as ‘’I mean, obviously, first of, I believe, I think, I’m not sure, I really’’.
    Talent and insistence allowed him to achieve such remarkable success.

  4. 1. David Beckham is very proud of being in this franchise of champions. Victoria Azarenka is proud that she can play on the same area with famous sportsmans.
    2. How do you do it all?(about David Beckham's life and career).
    Is she more like a spice girl or more like soccer girl?(about David Beckham's low girl).
    3. I'd ask him how they achieved such success. Either I would ask David Beckham at what age he started playing football.
    4. In the answers i cath a lot of spoken phrases such as fisrt of, I mean, I'm not sure. Also I believe, I guess, You know.
    5. They trained very hard. Also they were not deprived of talent.

    2. Do you know that David's wife was playing in "the Spies Girls" band some years ago?

  5. 1)I was impressed by the fact that David Backham has 4 children. I thought that sportsmen don’t have enough time to take care of children. Secondly, I learned that David’s wife has her own fashion life. Also, I learned that Victoria Azarenka refers to her coach not only as a coach but as a good friend and on the court she feels relaxed.
    2)Who would you like to grow up? Did you ever imagine coming from such a small country that you could have ended up being the number one player in the world in a Grand Slam champion? Who is the toughest player for you to play against?
    3) I would have asked how they realized that this is what they are willing to devote their lives? whether in their life some crucial moments of sports-related? how they motivate themselves when they wanted to quit? whether they come ever to the training field to just think?
    4) I know; so; actually ; you see; you know; at some points and other.
    5) They trained hard; the trainer helped them; they believe that they will become success sportsman’s.

  6. After watching some of the interviews I realised that I have to change my opinion on sportsmen. The most impressing thing for me was that a sports star known all over the world, the winner of the championship in Wimbledon Novak Djokovic doesn't think that the victory is his merit. "Thanks for letting me win the match" - he says to his rival. He also dedicates the prize to his future wife, his team and parents and his first coach. Victoria Azarenka has also amazed me. I can't even imagine the difficulties that she'd had to get through before she became one of the best tennisists in the whole world. She's really mentally strong, I think. "I feel like from losses you can take more things out" - she says. The life barriers only made her improve.
    Most of the reporter's questions are dedicated to the life ways, the childhood and the sportsmen' feelings.
    Answering the questions the sportsmen use much spoken phrases like "you know", "kind of", "at last but not least".
    The interviews show that achieving success is very hard, especially in sport. Victoria Azarenka says that she became responsible very early. In fact, she became a grown-up at the age of 10. It seems to be very difficult to train so much and spend all your free time in the gym.
    This way, I really started to respect the sportsmen for what they do.

  7. 1)I liked interview with Novak Djokovic, because he was glad to won that competition and In my opinion he is a good player and he is going to be a good father. I liked his words about family and about the fact that he wants to be dedicated to his family. Also i liked David Beckham's interview, because i like his dedication to football and his family. It was a great interview, David was very cheerful, and the best thing i've learnt was that he has 4 children, and i think its impressive, i was thinking that football players and other sportsmen don't have enough time to be with their sons and daughters, but David is a great person with a good thoughts.
    2) What do you miss from Real Madrid? When are you going to Goana? What qualities are most important in football career?
    3) To be honest, i dont know what questions i would ask, because a lot of peolpe asked a lot of things. So, i would like to ask about what sportsmens like to do in their free time, because interviews are always about sport and i would like to know about their other hobbies.
    4) to end up, you know, actually, so, i think, as well
    5)To be succesful sportsman they work hard, they are very dedicated to sport and also, i tnink, they love their jobs and they do a lot to achive succes in what they like.

  8. 1) Azarenka likes to play tennis on the same area with famous sportsmen. Backham has four children. Phelps said something interesting about music, such as he can find a song for everything he had done in his sports career.
    2) to Jjokovic: this is a very amotional time, isn't it? How did you turn around?
    3) I want to ask Jjokovoc. What is he going to do next?
    4) I think, as for me, I am not sure, I guess, You know.
    5) At first they believed in theirs win. They trained hard and got great trainers.

  9. I learnt from the interview by Usain Bolt that when he won the race he bends and lifts his hands up. This man is the fastest sprinter in the world, and I'm sure he wold be have a lot of victories ahead. I am very surprised that David Beckham has 4 children. David has time to educate and feed them and at the same time engaged in professional careers. In my opinion he is good father and great husband. Concerning our Victoria Azarenka, she is glad because she has become the first racket of world women's tennis and won the first Grand Slam tournament. For her it is a great honour and on her place I would be in seventh heaven from happiness. Of course I am not a fan of Djokovic in the men's tennis, but I still want to congratulate him on his victory at Wimbledon, and wish to become a good father in the future.
    2) to Djokovic: How did you turn around? to Azarenka: Are you like do it all(listening to music and etc.) or what do you need to do to play good tennis ? to Beckham:what do u need to do to become a professional football player? What did you miss from Real Madrid?
    3) When you are finished pursue professional careers and what you are going to do after it? Did you ever will arrive to Belarus one day?
    4) I heard many helpful answers, for example: You know, I guess, I am sure, Well, Actually, So and others.
    5) Champions to achieve success helped the belief in theirself, effort, talent, skill in their field, good team of trainers, a lot of training sessions and above all, their parents. They are firmly insisted on their desire to send their child to the sports section.

  10. After watching the videos I concluded: there is no secret of success. It’s all about being dedicated to the goal. In the interviews Victoria Azarenka, Michael Phelps and David Beckham said that they have been working a lot since childhood. I think an ability to control your emotions is very important for every sportsman too. You need to be able to focus on the competition and tune out any other distractions. The following sportsmen don’t spare their rivals during the competition and stay calm at the same time. They respect their competitors and thank them for a challenge. All stars also mentioned the people they were inspired by. They thanked their idols, coaches and relatives.
    I liked the interview with Victoria Azarenka the most. I was impressed by her English. Her speech sounds very natural, because she used a lot of linking phrases such as "You know", "I mean", "Kind of" and many phrasal verbs: "go through", "go over", "give sth back" etc.

  11. 1) I liked video with Novak Djokovich, because he is a good player and also he is going to be a good father. I liked that he want to be dedicated to his family and that he love it very much. Moreover i learned some facts about David Beckham, that he has 4 children and that his wife has own fashion life.
    2)This is very emotional ime, isn't it?How did you turn around?What qualities are most important in football career?
    3)I want to ask every sportsmen: what are they doing instead of sport?
    4) I think, you know,as well,as for me, i am not sure
    5)They trained a lot and believed in their wins.

  12. 1)I have just watched the interview with a world-wide famous footballer David Beckham. I didn't know that he lives and works now in USA, is California. And his planning to stay there for 2 more years. It was interesting to know that his wife Victoria is not only a singer, but she is also a successful business woman. Moreover they have got 4 children: 3 boys, 1 little girl, the boys are studying now in USA, and like their father they are very fond of sports. David and Victoria are very busy professionaly, but their family is very friendly. And the parents pay much attention to their children.
    2)Among the reporters questions there were:
    - Is your little girl more Spicy or Soccer?
    - What do you miss from Real Madrid?
    - What challenges did you have to face to become a professional footballer?
    3) I would ask David the following questions :
    - What do you think your children will make the same sports carrier or they will go their own way?
    4) You know, first of, I think, I thought, obviously, actually, so, all right, to end up, I'm sure.
    5) David became a famous footballer because of his strong will to win and every day hard work.

  14. ***Spoken phrases were: Great; So; I mean; First of; Also; I think; Oh, my god; You know; All right; Well and etc.
    ***Questions I’ve heard were: What made you to make that choice? ; How do you do it all? ; Who do we have here? ; It’s a very emotional time, isn’t it? What did you learned from that experience?
    ***What interesting facts did I learn from the interviews? New facts for me were:
    1) David Beckham’s wife and he love living in California.
    2) Victoria Beckham has her own fashion line.
    3) David Beckham is a UNICEF ambassador.
    4) David Beckham has 4 children.
    5) David Beckham loves Spanish food.
    6) Novak Djokovic wanted to dedicate that cup to his future wife and their future baby and to his family.
    7)Victoria Azarenka enjoyed watching Steffi Graf.

    ***And the last question - what helped the champions to achieve success? For example ,David Beckham worked very hard and stayed focused on football ,so he became famous and it helped him to achieve success. Also he practiced, he overcame his distractions, he gave up some things, he hadn’t interested in being famous or in making money.

    ***I’d like to ask them if there were situations when they wanted to gave up sports and what stopped them that moment.

  15. 1) I've learned about Phelp's interest in boxing, also i've learned about the way he trains and about his running targets. The most exciting for me was the fact that Michael took part in diffrent teleshows with celebrities.
    2) What targets do you have when you go for a run?
    What distances do you usually overcome for a single run?
    What challenges had you faced in the way to a big achievements?
    When are you going to visit Ghana?

    3) Are you happy beeing on the top of swimming world? Асtually for me it would be a huge challenge and an enormous responsibility.
    Do you want to get back to the highest levels of football or now you are happy disseminating football in the USA?
    4)
    I guess...
    It depends...
    Actually...
    Obviously...
    Then...
    As for me...
    You know...
    I think...
    So...
    As well as...
    I'm sure...
    For example...
    To end up...
    5)Im my opinion a large part of success is in talent. Your talent is your natural gift. But the remaining part is in hard work, in the purposefulness, in challenges, trials, in awareness of you aim and targets, it is in volition and in a fortitude,in сool mind and steel nerves. So if you have a talent and you want to reach serious results you must have inner power and you must work out some important qualities which will keep you in a good form even in the hardest life or sport tests.

  16. I've learned some interesting and surprising facts about sportmans. (I think there are no sense in saying facts, with were already mentioned in the comments before mines).
    So, I think that all those sportmans got succeses thankfully to their hardwork. Because when you work hard - you will have succeses. Of course, they work hard because of their strong will. But I can't agree with what Victoria Azarenka said about that it is the most easyest thing - to surrender. Usually, there is only one thing wich is harder than to surrend - to win. When people surrend, they have some cause to do it. When they surrend they are usually being emotionally broken. So, as I think, that the most important (or one of the most important things) for sportmans are: the will and hard work (and of course sometimes a bit of luck and talent).

  18. I have already watched interviews with all sports stars and have learned a lot of interesting facts about them.But the most interesting facts i have heard from David Beckham.There were lots of facts about him but i will tell you about the most interesting of them.First of all i learned that he lives in California and he wants to stay there for 2 years more because he thinks that soccer grows up in this country and also his wife loves living there.The second fact was that he has got 4 children 3 of them are boys and 1 of them is a girl.Furtermore his children are studing in USA and they are fond of sports like David Beckham and i actually was not so surprised when i have heard that.Also i have learned that David Beckham loves Spanish food.There is one more interesting fact that his wife was a very popular singer in group which named "spice girls".And one more interesting fact about David Beckham is that he had hes own chlothes markets named H&M.So i think that David Beckham is a very good sports star and bave become a star because of his hard working.Maybe if we will focus on our aims and work hard on that aims we can have a great result of it but to do all these you also need to be very dedicated person.Everything is possible.

  19. Interesting facts I learned about Victoria were that she is very serious, clever, young girl and strong, dedicated and focused sportsman at the same time. It's nice that her mother is a great source of motivation for her. According to her words sport made her a responsible, independent person. One more amazing thing is her not "sport-like" hobby- photograph. Victoria makes an impression of a quiet, calm girl but she is a fighter in a soul. She uses phrases such as: you know, well, just. Idols such a Serena, Steffi Graf pushed Victoria to improve in tennis, losses in games helped to be better and send another challenge Beckhem amazed me at all. He is a UNICEF ambassador as well as his wife. A great thing about him is that he is very family loving and the only priority for him is his wife and children. More than that he is very friendly to his fans. Fans asked many questions about career prospects and challenges in sports life. Moreover David realizes that he is a role model for a great number of people and that makes him a good person. The phrases l like in his speech are: to have some down time, sign a two year deal come over, look up to and stay focused.

  20. I have learnt she liked dancing, listening to music, taking photos and watching movies besides playing tennis. In 2012 she played with Serena Williams and she thinks Serena is the toughest rival for her. Although, Victoria lost that match she didn’t give up. She says that losses push her to improve herself and make her better. She uses such spoken phrases as: well, sure, you know, just. I liked her two phrases ‘you have only one chance to make a difference in your life’ and ‘Giving up is the easiest thing you can do’. Victoria’s parents and friends have always supported her.
