A message in a bottle in the ocean.
A man sending a homing pigeon to its home with a message tied to its leg.
Task 1: Leading in
(1) Do you know there is an event called
“Marathon”?
(2) Do you think there was such an
event in ancient Olympics?
The Marathon was a modern
event that was first introduced
in the 1896 Olympic Games.
The distance is 26 miles 385
yards or 42.195 kilometres. It’s
a race in honor of Phidippides,
an ancient runner. In the 5th
century B.C, the Persians
attacked Greece at Marathon
near Athens.
Phidippides
The Greeks were very
worried and didn’t
know what to do.
They sent Phidippides
to Sparta to ask for
help for the battle…
Task 2: Listen to get the main idea.
Phidippides sent his message
miles away all by himself on foot.
1. What was Phidippides’ job as well as running?
Phidippides’ job was a soldier as well as a great runner. He fought in the Battle of Marathon against the Persians. He also sent messages miles away by running.
Task 3: Answer the questions.
2. Why did the Greek army go to
Marathon?
Their city was going to be attacked,
so the Greek army went to
Marathon to fight their enemy.
3. Did Phidippides do what he was
asked? How do you know?
Phidippides did what he was asked.
We know because there is a
mounument to him and to the dead
soldiers at Marathon. He died
giving his message.
For each Olympics, a new flame is started in the ancient Olympic stadium in Olympia, Elis, Greece, using a parabolic mirror to focus the rays of the Sun. This flame begins its Olympic Torch Relay by touring Greece. The flame is normally taken to the country where the games will be held (usually by airplane). The flame is then carried around the

country where the games are to be held, using a series of torches carried by people running, walking, riding horses and camels, scuba diving, and using other means of human conveyance. The last runner uses a torch to light the large Olympic torch which burns throughout the games. The flame is extinguished during the closing ceremony. A new Olympic torch is designed for each of the games.

Ex 2:
Number the events and discuss
them in pairs.
Answers:
5 – 7 – 2 – 1 – 6 – 3 – 8 - 4
Listen to the tape again and discuss the
questions with your partner.
1.Why does the torch begin its journey
in Greece?
Ancient Greece was the birthplace of
the Olympic Games so it is
appropriate to light the flame there.
2. Why are there Special Olympic
Games?
The modern Olympic Games considers
everyone should have their chance to
take part in the Games. If you are
mentally or physically disabled, it would
obviously be unfair for you to take part
against other able-bodied competitors.
So the Olympic movement has devised
two sets of extra Game: the Special
Games (for mentally less able) and
Paralympics (for physically
handicapped competitors).
Finish the exercises on
the workbook.
