An unusual job!
Have you seen a football match recently? If you have, I’m sure that you heard lots of comments about the referee as well as
about the players! Referees have a very difficult job. They have to make quick and important decisions in the middle of a fastmoving game. And, of course, there are thousands of people shouting at them too. The crowd is never happy when the ref
sends off their favourite player. Also, in football today there still isn’t the same technology as there is in other sports, like
tennis. The job can get even more difficult when you’re a woman who is refereeing a men’s match!
There is no reason why there should not be the same number of male and female referees in the sport today. However, the
number of female refs is still very low – particularly at the highest levels of professional football. This is something that one
woman, Pat Dunn, who died in 1999, would have been very sad about.
Pat was the first woman in the UK to referee a men’s football match but she wasn’t allowed to do this for a long time. Pat was
a strong supporter of women’s rights in sport and became President of the Ladies’ Football Association in 1969. Then she
decided to train to be a referee. For a long time the Football Association refused to give her a certificate although she had
passed the exams. But Pat continued fighting and she finally got permission in 1976. The next month she became famous when
she refereed her first official FA game. Pat became a very good and successful referee and even saved a footballer’s life. She
helped him when he was injured during a match!
Today there are some famous female referees, like Bibiana Steinhaus from Germany who has just refereed the final of the
Women’s Football World Cup. Bibiana decided to become a referee at the age of 16 and later was the first female referee in
the German men’s professional league. But there are only a few like her.
Football is still mainly a men’s game – both for players and referees. But for how long? Will we see more women referees in
the future? We’d like to know what YOU think. So, please go online and leave a comment on our website. We’ll print the most
interesting ones in the magazine next week.

The game of love
With the rise of social networking sites and online communication of all kinds, the idea that we can meet and
interact with people online is becoming more and more acceptable. Across the globe, people can share hobbies and
interests – or even meet that ‘special someone’. 1_____ If you are careful and follow a few sensible rules, it’s a
relatively safe way to meet a romantic partner. And, these days, more and more people are taking virtual dating a
step further.
Online gaming has become very popular in recent years. Thousands of people spend hours each day having
adventures in virtual fantasy worlds. Missions or quests within the game often require characters to work together
to solve problems and progress through the game’s levels. 2_____ Using this technology, friendships can
sometimes form between players through their virtual characters or ‘avatars’.
Online games are now so sophisticated that players are not restricted to a single path and game progression as they
were in earlier games. Since the development of ‘go anywhere’ gameplay, characters can wander around and
explore the fantasy landscape however they like. Or they can just sit together next to a virtual waterfall and chat.
And they do! Friends who meet up to kill a dragon may sit down later to talk about their lives and dreams. 3_____
But is it really possible to form an accurate impression of a person through the way he or she behaves in an online
game? 4_____ And they may create avatars who have characteristics they don’t have in real life. However,
psychologists say that most gamers create avatars that are surprisingly true to themselves. Of course, they may not
really be a 6-foot warrior, but there is a stronger connection to reality than people might expect. And their
interactions with others are sometimes more frank and honest than they might be if they were on a date in the real
world.

______ Gamers, online daters and users of social networks have to be cautious. In the twenty-first century we are
all learning what it means to be connected to the rest of the world – and we need to be very careful when we choose
how connected we want to be. However, growing numbers of people are choosing to meet, chat, date – and even
get married in the virtual world!
A
In a virtual world, people do amazing things in exciting situations.
B
Of course, meeting strangers can be dangerous.
C
This has prompted many players to say that you can learn as much about a person through gaming as you can in real
life.
D
Millions of people have now found love on internet dating sites.
E
Most games have a chat function, or even voice communication software.
F
Make sure to tell your friends what you are doing, or even take one of them along with you.
