What explanations does Leah give for doing tai chi?
Journalist: Leah, you've been practising tai chi for more than 20 years and now you' ve decided to set up a tai chi school here in the UK. What was it that first attracted you to the sport?
Leah: I love watching kung fu films, so I took kung fu classes. Through these classes, discovered tai chi and fell in love with it at once.
Journalist: You now visit China every year. Can you tell me something about your first trip here?
Leah: That was six years ago. For me, visiting China was a dream come true. On that first trip, I went to Yangshuo in Guangxi
Journalist: Why did you choose Yangshuo?
Leah: The main reason was that one of the greatest masters of tai chi lives there. I'd also heard a lot about the beautiful natural views of the area.
Activity 4 Listen for details
Journalist: What challenges did you face studying in China?
Leah: The biggest challenge was learning to understand and speak Chinese. Another was practising some of the basic skills that I thought I had learnt years ago. Oh yes, and I wasn't that fond of the early morning starts. either!
Journalist: What makes you not give up and keep going?
Leah: Firstly, what I get from tai chi makes up for the hard work and challenges. It helps me relax and brings me peace inside, and is a simple way to deal with pressure. As well as being good for your mind, tai chi can help improve your physical abilities. That's why I set up a tai chi school in the UK
