FIVE years ago Denise Lewis has finished a disappointing third at the Atlanta Olympics. Yet even then, the 2000 Games are her real aim. Yesterday, on a spring night in Sydney she won the gold medal she always wanted.
Famous for her looks as well as for her talent, it is likely that in future the new heptathlon champion will earn more from marketing than from competitions. Her background, however, won´t be forgotten. Joan Lewis was eight when she came to Britain.
Nine years later Denise was born, only child. Shortly after that, Denise´s father left them and mrs lewis took jobs with low pay to support herself and her daughter , who already had shown a strong ambition. Very early teachers told mrs lewis that her daughter would have such a strong personality they would expect her to be first female prime Minister. M. T. got there first, but while she was taking power in Westminster. Denise Lewis took the prizes at school sports. By the age of 14, she was becoming English schools long jump champion. Mrs lewis become worry about her, because denise have to travel an hour and halb by bus, four times a week, while she was training at the stadium.

FIVE years ago Denise Lewis finished (Zeitangabe)

WERE her real aim (denn auch DAMALS waren die Spiele von 2000 ihr Ziel...sind es ja nicht jetzt!)

the medal she has always wanted ODER she had always wanted (Zeitraum wird beschrieben: brauchst n perfect)

Wenn dann wäre es "who had already shown", adverbs of time immer nach dem ersten Hilfsverb. Ist aber kein Grund da um past perfect zu nehmen, da offensichtlch ausgedrückt werden soll, dass sie schon damals Ambitionen zeigte...nicht bis dato gezegit hatte:
"who already showed a strong ambition at that pont"

They told her that her daughter HAD a strong.... and they eXPECTED her
-- reported speech..die stellen es fest, die sagen nicht die Zukunft vorher

By the age of 14 she HAD BECOME --- bis sie 14 war, hat sie dies schon erreicht : Zeitraum und Vorzeitigkeit

Naja...und dann rutscht du auf einmal ins Präsens...warum??
became worried
had to travel

Soviel von mir ... zugegeben eine recht hektische Korrektur heute ... hoffe es hilft dennoch weiter

Gott
