Reporter: | Hi, I'm the school reporter. You're Sarah Morrison, the school swimming champion, aren't you? |
Sarah: | Yes, that's me. |
Reporter: | Can I ask you some questions? |
Sarah: | Sure. |
Reporter: | First of all, how often do you go swimming? |
Sarah: | I come to the pool four times a week — twice during the week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and twice at the weekend too. |
Reporter: | But you start school at 9 o'clock every day! When do you come to the pool? |
Sarah: | Well, on Tuesdays and Thursdays I get up really early, about 6 o'clock, so I can swim before school starts. The other days I usually get up at 7 o'clock, and at the weekend I get up around 10 o'clock. |
Reporter: | And how many hours do you swim? |
Sarah: | It depends on the day, really. I usually swim for about an hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I sometimes swim for four hours at the weekend. |
Reporter: | That's a lot of hours! Do your friends come to the pool with you? |
Sarah: | No, my friends like sleeping at six in the morning! On Tuesdays and Thursdays I swim with the other members of the school swimming team, and at the weekend I always swim alone. |
Reporter: | I see. And what time do you go to bed at night? |
Sarah: | I'm always really tired in the evening, so I go to bed at 10 o'clock. |
Reporter: | I suppose you don't have much free time during the week. |
Sarah: | Not much, but after school I usually go to the park with my friends for an hour or so before dinner. Then at 6 o'clock I have dinner, and after dinner I always do my homework on a school day. But when I finish my homework I have some free time too, and I often read or sometimes watch a little TV. It depends how tired I am. |
Reporter: | And what do you want to be when you leave school? |
Sarah: | I want to be a famous swimmer, an Olympic champion like Jodie Henry. |
Reporter: | Well, good luck, and thanks. |
