📘 David Rawson

Read the article about a teenage rower and answer the questions.

David Rawson, 15, is one of the best rowers of his age in the USA. He comes from Connecticut, and spends most of his free time practising on the many rivers near his home.

David's dad Martin also enjoys rowing. "David's much better than me, but I go with him when I can," he says. David's mother, Wendy, doesn't go rowing herself but she is happy to take them to and from the rivers in her car.

It's an expensive sport. The Rawsons have seven boats, costing between $1500 and $4000 each. But you can see how important rowing is to the family when you go to their home. There are many photos of David rowing and several rowing boats in the garage.

About 18 months ago, David started rowing on the sea. This sport is similar to surfing except that you sit in a special boat instead of standing on a board. David loves it, and it means he can continue with his sport in the summer when his favourite rivers don't have enough water in them.

Next year David is hoping to go to the Premier Rowing Academy where he'll study rowing as well as all the usual school subjects.
