AUDIO SCRIPT (Recording 1.24)
Presenter: Welcome back to the Sports Programme. The topic of today's programme is role 
models. We have sixteen-year-old Jackie Smith in the studio, and she's going to talk to us 
about the people who encouraged her to take up competitive sport. First of all, 
congratulations Jackie. Last month you became the world under eighteen windsurfing 
champion!
Jackie: Yes, that's right. Thank you.
Presenter: So, why did you take up windsurfing? Who inspired you?

Presenter: So you grew up near the sea. What other water sports did you do?
Jackie: All sorts. At first, windsurfing wasn't my favourite thing. I liked other water sports like 
swimming and sailing. Rachel talked me into joining the children's sailing club. We spent all 
our weekends there, even in winter. We did lots of sailing, and then Rachel thought we should
