Zdjęcie przedstawia kobietę i mężczyznę na bieżni. Obydwoje leżą, twarzą skierowaną w stronę ziemi, podpierając się na stopach oraz dłoniach jak przy wykonywaniu pompek. — If you can dream it, you can do it
Jeśli masz marzenia, możesz je zmienić w rzeczywistość

Michelle: I’m quite tired, shall we take a break?

Patrick: Me too! Let’s have a 5‑minute break.

Michelle: By the way, have you heard the news?

Patrick: No, what’s going on?

Michelle: I heard that there won’t be any spectators in the stadium for our race on Sunday.

Patrick: No way! Why?

Michelle: I don’t really know. They say that there are problems with the stadium seats.

Patrick: Really? I think we should call the coach and ask him about that.

Michelle: I’ve already asked our coach. He said we shouldn’t worry about it too much as the race will still take place.

Patrick: Oh, that’s very sad. It’s not going to be an easy race without our supporters.

Michelle: That’s right. But other competitors won’t have any supporters either. So, it's still going to be a fair race.

Patrick: Well, I agree with you on this. We just need to concentrate better.

Michelle: Aren’t you already concentrating, Patrick? Come on. We are going to win this race!

Patrick: Yes, we are! Another lap?

Michelle: Let’s go!

TRANSCRIPTazurewhite

Coach: Well, gentlemen, it was hard, but you did it! Congratulations on winning the match! You did great!

Kris: It was like a rollercoaster! I didn’t think we would make it. I’m exhausted, really.
Tom: It was one of the most difficult matches I’ve EVER played!

Kris: We lost the first set and then, we were losing points in the second…and I started to lose hope.

Tom: I couldn’t concentrate and I was losing one ball after another. And then… During my serve, I heard a great yell “You can do it!!” I looked around and saw the spectators standing and clapping, calling my name. They all had hats, t‑shirts and flags with national colours. That was THAT moment when I felt the power. I served and got the point. All the fans started to dance with joy. Amazing!

Kris: That was the moment that changed the game! We started to score points! Cheering always energises me. It motivates me to try harder and harder.

Coach: We are lucky to have our fans! They always believe in us and today they celebrated every single point you scored!

Kris: Our supporters love volleyball and they are always loud and enthusiastic. When they yell “Come on”, “Let’s go” they really pump up the team.

Tom: But chanting or yelling wasn’t pleasant to the opponents… Our fans wanted to disturb the rhythm of their game while they were giving the serving.

Kris: True, but that wasn’t rude. They respected the opponents and simply were just cheering on our team.

Coach: I agree, they weren’t rude. Volleyball fans are passionate about their sport and always cheer and chant! They respect all the players from both teams.

Tom: It’s amazing how well they know the rules of the game and follow the ball on the court.

Kris: Let’s make it clear, they helped us win the match today. It was so hard in the first set…. Our fans didn't lose hope in us! They motivated us not to give up. We’re so lucky to have them!
