Today, I’m going to talk about Tiger Woods because he’s not only a (fairly / really) talented golfer but he’s also a (quite / very) good role model for any young sports players. Tiger Woods began playing golf when he was (extremely / quite) young. In fact, he started when he was just two years old. He played (extremely / rather) well then, but he kept getting better and better. He did (fairly / really) well in competitions, winning many major junior and amateur championships.
In his first professional competition, Woods played (quite / really) well, coming in at sixtieth place. However, the following April, he won The Masters. In fact, he won it (fairly / very) easily, with a much higher score than his competitors. Woods then went on to win many other tournaments and became the world’s number one player (extremely / quite) quickly, just forty-two weeks after becoming a professional. Other players take years to achieve this position. During his career, he’s had over eighty professional wins, and he’s still (rather / really) young, so he’s bound to continue his great success. Thank you.
