Snowboarding

In room five, we watched a video of a girl who won a bronze medal in the Winter Olympics. Her name is Zoi Zadowski-Synott and she is a Kiwi snowboarder. After we watched the video we started to write about it. The document included sights, sounds, present tense and more. Here is my writing.

Zoi looks nervous as she waits her turn and glares at everyone else who is jumping on the ramp. It is her turn now and she is going for gold. BEEP! The hill takes her and lets her go wherever she wants. She’s gaining speed, gathering momentum and going as fast as she can go. Just 40 metres away from the ramp and… WHOOSH, she is off up into the air. Zoi is looking like she is floating through the air as she does the… DOUBLE BACKFLIP! She lets her board go with one hand, and there’s the next hand off. Trying so hard to balance herself she stretches her arms out like an eagle spreading its wings. She is hearing her name all over the place and wants to win for her fans. Nearly to the end of her jump she looks like she wants to clear the double backflip. SMACK BAM! The jump has been cleared and she slides down the hill, starting to slow right down, skidding at the end as her fans cheer. Zoi looks like she just won the double backflip of the century, she looks so proud of herself and feels like she’s won the gold medal.
