　　Lesson Thirty-Three

　　Section One:

　　Tapescript.

　　News Item 1:

　　Actress Virginia Darlington, who plays Judy in the TV soap opera Texas, got married yesterday surrounded by armed bodyguards at the most luxurious hotel in Texas, the Mansion. The 39-year-old star exchanged vows with plastic surgeon Henry Jones under a bough of ivy and gardenias, wearing a wedding-dress designed by Britain’s Saunders. Because this is the second time she has married a flautist marked the celebrations by playing ‘Love is Wonderful the Second Time Around.’

　　News Item 2:

　　The Football Association Secretary Mr. John Gamer says he’s delighted with the decision to lift the worldwide ban on English soccer clubs. As a result of serious incidents of hooliganism in European and international matches, football’s international ruling body FIFA decided last June that English teams should not be allowed to play outside Britain. FIFA announced its new decision to lift the worldwide ban this morning, but the ban on European matches still stands. Now, the Football Association Secretary says it’s up to the English fans to improve themselves and if they do behave the ban could be lifted in as short a time as twelve months.

　　News Item 3:

　　A group of twelve women are working hard to become the first all—female crew to sail around the world. At the moment the crew are busy trying to raise the three hundred and fifty thousand pounds needed to buy and equip a sixty-two foot yacht to make the record attempt. As part of their fund—raising the crew have been repainting the famous boat Gipsy Moth 4, on show at Greenwich, which was raised one thousand two hundred and fifty pounds from the British Yachting Association. The crew are also busy training to get ship—shape for their round—the—world sailing race which starts in September. The crew skipper says she doesn’t think the fact the crew are all women will lesson their chances of winning.
