11The water polo match last weekend was hilarious. Although there was [blank_start]precious[blank_end] little change of my favourite Croatian team to win the tournament, we fans out there were all pushing ourselves to the [blank_start]limits[blank_end] to cheer for them as much as we could. We were truly having a [blank_start]whale[blank_end] of time until one of hour players got hurt. Although the team was [blank_start]awarded[blank_end] a penalty, he couldn't recover and the team had to continue with a smaller number of players, but still managed to [blank_start]put[blank_end] up a determined performance. Sitting in the crowd reaching [blank_start]fever[blank_end] pitch every time they scored was an amazing feeling, but all of us went completely [blank_start]wild[blank_end] when our player Rokovicz scored an [blank_start]own[blank_end] goal.

19I had never [blank_start]done[blank_end] extreme sports before, but the moment I saw my best friend do ski-jumping, I acquired a [blank_start]taste[blank_end] for winter sports in general. This has been the third year that I've [blank_start]taken[blank_end] up the challenge of skiing, and I'm sort of getting the [blank_start]hang[blank_end] of it. My goal is to show all those former classmates of mine who were playing a [blank_start]blinder[blank_end] at school in the ice rink that I'm just as good as they are. On the plus side, I also managed to keep in [blank_start]shape[blank_end] by going to the gym outside the snowy season. Although sometimes it takes me a lot of effort to [blank_start]summon[blank_end] up the energy even to get out of bed in cold weather, I usually have a [blank_start]whale[blank_end] of time at the gym with my pals and we all encourage each other to [blank_start]push[blank_end] ourselves to the limits every time. I hope I can jump at the [blank_start]chance[blank_end] when I'm invited for my next two-week skiing holiday, there's a precious [blank_start]little[blank_end] chance that there will be no snow in the Alps this winter.
