Составьте мне пересказ вот этого текста:
John was a football trainer at the English college. He always tried to find good football players for his team. John trained his players very well.

They were good in running, jumping, swimming, rowing and playing different games. They often took part in races and always won. All John’s players were tall strong sportsmen and just nice people. The college team was the best. Regular training, keeping to a diet and a lot of exercises were very important for the sportsmen. They always took the trainer’s advice and showed good results in all competitions and matches. They almost never lost a game or ended matches in a draw. They practically always won.

The only trouble with some of his football players was their bad knowledge of many school subjects. The sportsmen were often poor at Math, English and it was not always easy for them to study.

One day the trainer brought a young football player to the Professor of the college. The Professor had to ask the young player a few questions. The Professor chose very easy questions but the boy couldn’t answer them. At last the Professor asked,”Well, what are five times five?”

The student thought for a long time and then answered “Twenty six.” The Professor looked at the trainer. “It’s impossible!” he said. “I don’t want to punish your team. I understand he can play football very well but he doesn’t know mathematics at all. He can’t be a student.”

But the trainer said seriously, “Oh, please, sir! Let him became a student. He was only wrong by two”.

Answer 1

John worked as a football trainer in an English college. His training was very good.
He trained his players to run, jump, swim and row. They were tall and strong, they always took parts in different races and competitions and every time they did it they won. They trained regulary, did a lot of exercises and kept to a diet. The playes often joined footbal matches and they almost always won.
But there was a problem - the players were too bad pupils. It was difficult for them to study.
Once the Professor had to ask a few questions to one of the football players and he asked John to take him to his room. The questions were easy, but the player couldn't find the answers. At the end the Professor asked: "Well, what's five times time?
The football player thought for a quite long time and said: "Twenty-six". The Professor looked at the trainer amazedly and said: "At all, I don't want to punish your team, but you see - although he is a very good football player, his knowledge is little. That's not enough to be a student".
John answered: "Please, Professor, let him be a student! He was only wrong by two".
