Teacher elicits answers leading to Michael Phelps, the iconic athlete - and asks do you know this name?
C) We are going to read about this athlete and his abnormal sports performance he has been showing.
2. In preparation to the Olympics

b. Skim the text and find and underline parts where athletes speak about future.
c. How can we identify condition? (IF)
d. Can you tell how is the condition about the future formed? Write it onto the blackboard.

History Man Phelps has gold no 22 and the oldest Olympic record in his sights
Michael Phelps (USA) prepares to defend in Rio his 200m individual title for the third games running. If he emerges victorious, to claim a record 22nd gold, he will also become the first swimmer in history to win the same individual event four times.
According to Olympic historians, the American’s achievement has only ever been equalled by one man – Leonidas – who claimed a dozen running titles at the Ancient Games – over 2000 years ago!
Whether Phelps is aware of such comparisons with his ancient Olympian counterpart is unclear, but "leaving everything in the pool one last time is what I am going to do and if that is good enough to win we'll see," the 31-year-old shrugged, as he looked ahead to an incredibly draining week.
Ryan Lochte, Phelps’ Rio roommate, qualified second fastest behind his compatriot. Ryan in his only individual event of the week is chasing a seventh Olympic gold, but he admits that in order to beat Phelps he will need something very special. “Any chance I can get to race Michael is the best,” says Lochte, who revealed that the two never talk about swimming in their room, but instead prefer to play cards. “It's going to take a perfect performance through such a tough competition”.
The Czech Republic won 11 medals at their first edition of the Games, at Atlanta 1996, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. Our country arrives at Rio 2016 with 43 medals from 11 sports and five editions – 14 gold, 15 silver and 14 bronze medals.

8. Interview with the Olympionics
TASK>Form groups of 3. There will be two interviewers and one sportsman/sportswoman.
Task for journalists: prepare a script of questions and possible answers about how the interview will go. It is important for a journalist to know the aim of the interview, what idea you want to end it with? Then you can structure your questions and content leading toward this. It is the art of good interview to make an interview with one topic throughout and not to deviate by the content of interviewee’s answers. Be as natural as possible, and you may react to his/her answers adequately to ensure a smooth interview flow. Refer to the MY FIRST INTERVIEW record sheet.
Task for an interviewee: choose an athlete and the sport you are most familiar with. For your preparation, try to google as much information as possible from the athlete’s personal biography in connection with the sport he/she represents. You may want to note down some interesting facts about his/her life because those you might be asked by the journalists.

10. Conclusion
Teacher elicits answers from students to do a lesson summary: What have you learnt today? What was old for you, what was new? What are you dis/satisfied with?
Secondly, the assessment is mostly individual work and is done in two steps. First each student fills in the table below. Second step is to have more thorough view on how this lesson has built ‘my own language competences’. For this, students are welcomed to fill in the online European Language Portfolio at www.ejp.rvp.cz. (Remark: The ELP should be an integrated part of English lessons that help a learner on his life-long language learning journey.)
Thirdly, students comment on video recordings and vote for the best interviewers and the sportsmen whose answers were interesting or the best fit to the interviewers’ questions.
