Atleti Maltin fil-log]ob tal-Commonwealth fil-Gold Coast

15 ta’ Marzu 2018

F’April 2018, grupp ta’ atleti Maltin ]a jie]du sehem fl-edizzjoni ta’ din is-sena tal-log]ob tal-Commonwealth li qed ji[u organizzati [ewwa l-Gold Coast fl-istat ta’ Queensland fl-Awstralja.

Il-log]ob tal-Commonwealth ji[i organizzat kull erba’ snin u l-parte`ipanti huma l-pajji\i, li b]al Malta u l-Awstralja, jiffurmaw parti mill-Commonwealth. L-ewwel edizzjoni tal-log]ob se]]et fl-1930 [ewwa l-belt ta’ Hamilton fil-Kanada. L-edizzjonijiet tal-1942 u tal-1946 [ew im]assra min]abba t-tieni Gwerra Dinjija.

Ftit jiem qabel qabdu l-vja[[ twil lejn l-Awstralja, l-atleti u l-uffi`jali tal-Kumitat Olimpiku Malti kienu l-mistiedna tal-Kummissarju g]oli Awstraljan f’Malta. Il-Kummissarju g]oli awgurat li l-atleti Maltin u Awstraljani jkollhom ri\ultati tajbin. Hi qalet li fl-edizzjoni ta’ din is-sena, g]all-ewwel darba ]a jkun hemm l-istess ammont ta’ kompetizzjonijiet tal-midalji g]an-nisa kif ukoll g]all-ir[iel.

}afna mill-atleti Maltin qalu li din l-esperjenza hija ]olma doppja g]ax mhux biss dejjem xtaqu li jirrapre\entaw lil Malta f’log]ob internazzjonali i\da wkoll dejjem xtaqu li j\uru l-qraba u l-]bieb tag]hom fl-Awstralja.

‘Kull sajf il-ku[ini tieg]i ji[u mill-Awstralja g]all-vaganzi u dejjem isaqsuni meta ]a mmur narahom,’ qalet Stella Micallef, li qed tirrapre\enta lil Malta fl-atletika. ‘Issa, di[à qatg]u l-biljetti biex ji[u jarawni nikkompeti.’

L-istess qal Rafael Vella, li l-akbar ]abib tieg]u joqg]od Melbourne. ‘}ames snin ilu, l-akbar ]abib tieg]i Julian, li hu pilota, offrewlu impjieg ma’ kumpanija Awstraljana, u mar joqg]od Melbourne. Sfortunatament, min]abba mpenji ta’ xog]ol fl-istess \mien tal-log]ob ma jistax ji[i jarani nikkompeti. Imma wara l-log]ob, ]a mmur in\uru f’Melbourne u ]a ng]addu ftit ]in nivvja[[aw flimkien.’

Part A (Questions 7–8) (10 marks)

Your response will be assessed on how well you:• understandgeneralandspecificaspectsoftexts( forexample,bycomparing,contrasting,summarisingand/orevaluating)andconveytheinformationappropriately.

G]a\i\ George,

Kwa\i wasalna Sydney. G]amilnieha! Irnexxielna ng]addu mill-Great

Australian Bight, li kien a]rax kif bassrulna, u mill-Kanal Bass, li kien

ag]ar. Ma stajniex nimxu bla ma nitbandlu imma tal-inqas ma kienx

gravi daqs il-monsoon. Il-lejl li g]adda, xi nies tal-immigrazzjoni minn

Melbourne g]amlu laqg]a fuq il-vapur. Qalu li se jkollna aktar vi\ti

medi`i biex ikunu \gur li ma laqqatniex xi mard mill-portijiet. Qalulna

wkoll kif g]andna naslu fil-hostels differenti tal-immigranti, imma l-papà

kien qed jitkellem ma’ xi ]add fuq il-vapur li qal li jaf b’xi post li nistg]u

nikru. }erqan biex ikollna d-dar tag]na u biex ma noqog]dux inserr]u

fuq il-gvern Awstraljan. Ilna [img]at fil-limbu, imma issa kwa\i wasalna

fid-dar il-[dida tag]na u kulma nixtieq hu li nkun mieg]ek u man-nanna,

imdawra b’kull min hu g]a\i\ g]alija. Qed nib\a’, George. X’ji[ri jekk

dan kollu huwa \ball?

Nikteb mill-[did malajr.

Il-]abiba tieg]ek,

Teresa …
