b Second passage: Herculaneum Heroes
2 Learner’s own answer: answers should avoid use of biased vocabulary from the original pieces
such as ‘impressive’ and ‘lucky’. The facts should be presented in an unbiased way. An example
answer may look like this:
Pompeii Pompadours beat Herculaneum Heroes 4–0 to advance to the third round of the
Vesuvius Cup.
Pompadours scored their first goal through Claudia and capitalised with a second five minutes
later.
Herculaneum player Julius scored an own goal 7 minutes into the second half. Pompadours
striker Felix later scored a penalty to make the score line 4–0.
