Is Ana Botella's English 2nd Intermediate?

The grammar is perfect, the vocabulary accurate and the structure solid. So, what's her problem?


Thank you, Ignacio (pause)

President Rogge, dear IOC members, ladies and gentlemen. (pause)

I’ve had the chance to speak to many of you in private conversations, and also in our presentations in St. Petersburg and in Lausanne.  (pause)

I must say, I’d like to continue our friendship, (smile and pause) and frankly, I don’t want this to be our last chance to speak to each other!  So let me tell you a little more about my beautiful hometown, Madrid. (smile)

Madrid is one of the most comfortable / charming  / and inviting cities in the world. Just like all of Spain, Madrid is an amazing mixture of traditions.  You can see, feel and taste the wonder of Spanish culture in Madrid’s parks, / its food / its art / and its architecture. (pause) Perhaps, those of you who have visited Madrid, share this feeling. We have been working hard for many years so our guests -  almost eight million each year -  feel at home.

And most importantly, Madrid is Fun.  The Olympic Games are not only a celebration of sport; they are also a celebration of life.  And I Assure you, no one celebrates life like the Spanish People do!

There is nothing quite like a relaxing cup of café con leche in Plaza Mayor (pause) or a quaint, romantic dinner in El Madrid de los Austrias (pause) the oldest part of Madrid. These experiences, and so much more are the heart and soul of Madrid.

So later today, when you are considering your choice for 2020, (smile) I hope you remember that in addition to the best-prepared plan, Madrid also offers you a city full of culture (pause) fun (pause) and welcoming people.

The magic of Madrid is real, and we want to share it with all of you.
