Sandy: Hello?

James: Hey, Sandy. It is James from class. Did you finish your report on the history of the Olympic Games?

Sandy: Yeah, I’ve just finished it. Why? Do you have a question, James?

James: I do actually. I was wondering if you knew the date of the first modern Summer Olympic Games.

Sandy: Sure. The first modern Summer Olympic Games were held in 1896.

James: Great! Now, how about the date of the first official Winter Olympics?

Sandy: Oh, I have it right here. The first official Winter Olympics were held in 1924.

James: Perfect. Now, can you tell me the full history of both the Winter Games and the Summer Games?

Listening Practice 3

Hello, everyone. Good afternoon. My name is James Richardson, and I am from the Olympics committee. The topic of my speech today is the differences between the Summer and Winter Olympics. I want to start by saying there are two kinds of Olympic Games: Summer Olympic Games and Winter Olympic Games. First, I will talk about the Summer Olympic Games. The Summer Games are bigger than the Winter Games. In the Summer Games, over 200 countries compete. Also, there are more than 40 different kinds of sporting events. But the Winter Olympic Games are much smaller than the Summer Games. In the Winter Games, just around 80 countries compete, and there are only 15 sports. While they are different, both the Summer and Winter Games are very popular worldwide.
