Despite arguments over “stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an advantage. “Throughout my entire life, I’ve had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been an enormously positive force.”
Watched by millions, the ending to the race has divided opinions: should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions But for Alistair, his decision was easy to explain: “Mum wouldn’t have been happy if I’d left Jonny behind.” At that moment, he was no longer an athlete aiming for a medal – he was just a brother.

PART. 04
Sunday 20 October
Read the journal entry and answer the questions.
I was tidying my room yesterday and found an old photo in a notebook. As I was looking at it, the lovely memory of that day came back to me.
It was my mother’s birthday ten years ago, and I decided to surprise her with home-made scrambled eggs. I woke up really early and tip-toed to the kitchen. I had never cooked anything before, so I tried to copy how she did it. But somehow they ended up burnt.
I was about to throw everything away when my mother came in. I
showed her the eggs and sadly explained what happened. To my
surprise, she tasted them and said they weren’t bad! I guess love is
indeed a magical ingredient. In fact, we ended up laughing and ate
them all.
This weekend is her 45th birthday. I’ll make her scrambled eggs again,
and this time they won’t be burnt!

There is a small bike lying quietly in our garage. It is quite old and I can no longer ride it, but I still keep it there, as it brings back a sweet memory.
Many years ago, it was a Sunday morning on my sixth birthday. My father bought me a new bike. I could not wait to get on it and learn how to ride, so I begged my father to teach me in the garden. After I sat on the new bike, my father helped me put my two hands on the handlebars and my feet on the pedals. Then, he pushed the bike so that the pedals started to move. I was scared! But my father kept encouraging me. I could cycle around the garden shortly after my first try. It was amazing. But unluckily, I was so busy waving at him that I didn’t see a small tree in front of me. I hit it and fell off the bike. It hurt a lot and I started to cry. My father encouraged me to stand up, be brave and try again. Gradually, I was able to ride the bike more skillfully.
I kept riding the bike until it was too small for me. It is still one of my most precious possessions, for not only was it my first bike, but a symbol of my courage as well as my father’s love. And I learnt that love has great power.
