SUBIECTUL I

Read the text below, identify the main ideas and comment on them:

June has her own reasons for wanting Kelly, her daughter, to become a skating star. "I started skating when I was ten," June said. "I saved all the money I could for lessons by doing errands for neighbours. But Mum and Dad were poor and when Mum saved to buy me boots, Dad said that was it...I neved skated again. I wasn't going to let that happen to Kelly." They had to take Kelly out of school so she could practise skating more. As she was still only fourteen, they had to guarantee the local authorities she'd continue her studies until she was seventeen. That meant the added cost of a private tutor at $140 a month.

Kelly, now seventeen, was placed first in the last year's junior championship and has won nearly thirty competitions so far. "I know I'm very lucky," she admits. "Mum and Dad have given up their own lives just for me and I'm determined not to let them down."
