Hi everyone! I want to tell you about a person that I really admire and had a chance to meet last
year – Haile Gebrselassie, a champion marathon runner.
Haile Gebrselassie was born and 1) _____ up in Asella, Ethiopia and was an incredible athlete.

transport services. In order to get an education, he had to run 10 kilometres to and from school

hadn't had any real training before that, he quickly found success, and by 1998, he had become
the world record holder in the 10,000 metres race. Haile then became a specialist in long-
distance running. He won races and set a new world record in 2007.
Haile is famous 5) _____ his unique and unusual running style. Even as an adult, he ran with one
elbow pointing out as tough he was still carrying his school books. He is an amazing person, and
