Hello, hello, dear listener and welcome into IOT speaking part two.

0:09.0

Describe a successful sports person you admire.

0:13.0

You should say who he or she is, what you know about him or her, what he is like in real life,

0:20.0

what achievements he or she has made,

0:23.6

and explain why you admire them. Rory, give us your story. Rory's story. Doodoo do do do do do do do.

0:36.6

To be honest, there aren't many sports people I look up to that often, since it's not really my thing.

0:44.8

But one that does stick out in my mind is Andy Murray. He's a tennis player from Scotland,

0:50.0

though I think he's fairly well known, and maybe even internationally renowned,

0:55.7

though I don't really follow tennis or any other sport for that matter. So that could also not be true. That's probably why

1:01.2

I don't know a great deal about him as a person. Obviously, he comes from the same country as I do,

1:05.8

and he went to school in a county that's quite close by. But I think that's about all I can say for certain.

1:13.0

I imagine, like many sports people, he runs lots of events for students in the local area

1:19.8

to encourage them to take up tennis and be healthier. I know for a fact his mother does that,

1:25.7

so maybe he's something of a chip off the old block that way, and that's quite admirable.

1:31.7

As for what he's like in real life, again, having never met him, I can't say for sure, but from what I have seen in the passing, when he's in various interviews and things, he doesn't seem to have let fame go to his head and he comes across

1:45.3

as fairly level-headed. I think that's also something people could aspire to, since modesty is

1:50.4

something people really like in others, at least in my country. When it comes to his achievements,

1:56.8

well, obviously he's a very good tennis player, and I think he's either won or come close to

2:03.2

winning Wimbledon or other various competitions on numerous occasions. It's not something I ever

2:10.4

planned to do myself, but you have to give him some credit for the dedication it takes to rise up in

2:16.1

your fields, especially to get to the top like that.

2:19.9

And that's why I think he's definitely a good role model for others. If we didn't have Andy Murray,
