Today, Im going to talk about Tiger Woods
because hes not only a (fairly / really)
talented golfer but hes also a (quite / very)
good role model for any young sports players.
Tiger Woods began playing golf when he was
(extremely / quite) young. In fact, he started
when he was just two years old. He played
(extremely / rather) well then, but he kept
getting better and better. He did (fairly /
really) well in competitions, winning many major
junior and amateur championships.

In his first professional competition, Woods
played (quite / really) well, coming in at
sixtieth place. However, the following April, he
won The Masters. In fact, he won it (fairly /
very) easily, with a much higher score than his
competitors. Woods then went on to win many
other tournaments and became the worlds number
one player (extremely / quite) quickly, just
forty-two weeks after becoming a professional.
Other players take years to achieve this
position. During his career, hes had over eighty
professional wins, and hes still (rather /
really) young, so hes bound to continue his
great success. Thank you.
