NewsInLevels

Paul Pogba is a famous football player. Now, he is in trouble. He cannot play for four years. Officials say that he must stop.

Pogba fails a test for drugs last year. The test shows too much testosterone. He is 30 years old. He says that he does not want to take drugs.  But it is hard to prove. If he cannot prove it, it can have an impact on his football career.

Pogba plays for Juventus. He wins the World Cup with France. But he has some problems with injuries. He is not good all the time. Sometimes he plays well but sometimes not.

Difficult words: fail (to make a mistake or not be good at something you want to achieve), prove (to show that something is true), career (a job which you do for a long time).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Andy, I don’t think I’ll be able to play on Saturday night – sorry. (Nadia)

What??!! Why not, Nadia? We need you. It’s an important night and we can’t get another trumpet player before then. And no one in the band can learn to play the trumpet in three days! (Andy)

I’m in bed with a cold and a temperature. No way can I play the trumpet right now. (Nadia)

Well it’s only Wednesday. Surely you’ll be better on Saturday? (Andy)

Perhaps, but I can’t practise at the moment, obviously. My throat hurts too much. So I’ve decided to stay in bed. (Nadia)

Well are you doing anything about your cold? Are you taking any medicine? Perhaps your doctor can give you an injection. (Andy)

Hey Andy, thanks for the understanding. I’m ill here! I don’t enjoy having a temperature, you know. I can’t stand lying here and doing nothing! (Nadia)

OK, sorry – but you have to play on Saturday. Some people from a recording company are coming. They’re looking for new jazz bands like us. It’s our big chance! (Andy)

What? Really? (Nadia)

Yes, really. If they think we’re good enough, they might offer us a record deal! (Andy)

OK, I promise to try. Ill do everything I can to get better. I hate being ill and I don’t want to let you down. I’m going to get better! Let’s chat again tomorrow. (Nadia)
