For this task, we found out some useful information about the Comrades Marathon. It’s a long-distance running event, covering 88 kilometres on foot. We worked in pairs to come up with a prediction about story. We looked at the questions and came up with the answers in the comment tool. For example, one of the questions asked, “How does the Comrades Marathon relate to the training of the ancient Olympians?”. I think it’s the healthy diet, because they need to be fit and fast in the race. Both sports are related to running as well. I looked up the definitions of the words in the list. I looked up “alternates.” It means to do something in turns.
I find this activity is enjoyful, because I learned some new things about it, like how athletes train for the Comrades Marathon.
