Introduction:
Well, I’m a sport loving person as it is the biggest source of
entertainment for me. I would like to take the opportunity to talk about an
athlete who is my favourite and | follow him fanatically.
Who he/she is? and How do you know him/her? and Explain why he/she is famous?
The name of this sports star is Virat Kohli, and he is the captain
of the Indian cricket team. I often read articles in newspapers and magazines
about him.
What has he/she achieved?
He is such a talented sportsman that in no time, he became the
best cricketer in the world. He is primarily a batsman, and he has hundreds of
records on his name in all the formats of cricket.
In addition, he is extremely athletic, which makes him the best
fielder. His body is so flexible, and his reflexes are extremely sharp that he
never misses any catch. With his outstanding fielding, he saves 10-20 runs for
his team in every match.
Because he is the captain
of the team so with his performance, he always sets an example for other team
members. To maintain his stamina and energy level on the field, he spends hours
in the gym doing the workout.
I can never forget the incident when he got injured while
batting, but rather than leaving the ground, he played till the end to help
India win.
Conclusion:
In fact, I follow him on social media as well, where he often
shares photographs with his wife Anushka, who is also very athletic working-out
at gym. Virat is my role model, and I wish to be a famous athlete like him.

Conclusion:
Here some examples of follow up questions that you may asked
during your speaking part 3 by examiner related to cue card “describe a famous
athlete you know”.
1. What kinds of exercises do
Indian people like?
Most Indian people are not very physically active. That is why there has been a
drastic rise in diseases like obesity and diabetes in India. However, at the
same time, many people in India go for a morning walk and do yoga.
2. What characteristics
do you think an athlete should have?
I think the two most important qualities for an athlete are
discipline and self-confidence. One cannot achieve success overnight; it
requires regular hard work and that means discipline and discipline is not just
restricted to exercise but also to diet. Moreover, in all sports and
gymnastics, mental toughness is as important as physical fitness, if not more.
3. Why are there so few top
athletes?
Because the journey to become a top athlete is full of struggles
and obstacles. Although many people have the physical strength and fitness to
reach the level, they don’t have the mental toughness required to keep going.
In fact, many talented people let go in the middle because they are unable to
keep up with the daily struggles and challenges.
4. What’s the best way to
become a top athlete?
I think the first requirement to become a top athlete is to
start early. Nearly all the athletes today are those who started when they were
children. For example, Roger Federer started playing tennis at the age of
three. Then, it’s all about willpower and dedication
