Sports and gam e s popular in England

— What would you say are the most popular games in England today?

— Well, I suppose football, that is, soccer, racket and cricket.

— What are the other outdoor games?

— Oh, there's tennis, hockey, golf, and so on. Tennis is played all the, year round—on

hard courts or grass courts in summer, and on hard or covered courts in winter.

— What about horse-racing?

I should say that is one of the most popular sports in Great Britain. Then there are, of course,

walking-races, running, swimming and boxing.

— I've been told that there are no winter sports in England.

— Well, you see; the English winter isn't very severe as a rule and we don't often have the

chance of, skiing, skating or tobogganing, but winter is the great time for hunting, provided

the ground is not too hard.

— Is there any golf to be had near London?

— Oh, yes, any amount. There are dozensof good golf-links within an hour/or so of London.

You ought to join a golf club if you're keen on the game.

— I think I shall if I get the chance. What about indoor games?

— Well, there's chess, billiards, cards, table tennis... By the, way, do you play billiards?

— Well, but of 'course, I'm not a professional or a champion, justan ordinary amateur and not a

very good one at that.

Ex.1. What do you call a person who goes in for:

wrestling, cycling, weight-lifting, swimming, diving, running, mountaineering, boxing, skiing, racing, hunting, playing football, playing chess, playing draughts, athletics, skating, playing volley-ball, playing basket-ball, playing hockey?

Ex.2. Fill in prepositions if necessary:

Sport is very popular... Britain.... other words a lot... British people like the idea... sport; a lot even watch sport, especially... the TV. However, the number who actively take part... sport is probably quite small. '4; 'the whole British people prefer to be fat rather than fit.

The most popular spectator sport is football. Football is played... a Sunday afternoon... most British towns and the fans, or supporters... a particular team will travel... one end... the country... the other to see their team play.

Many other sports are also played... Britain, including golf... which you try to knock a ball... a hole; croquet... which you try to knock a ball... some hoops; basketball... which you try to get a ball... a net; tennis... which you try to hit a ball so that your opponent cannot hit it and cricket which is played... a ball, but is otherwise incomprehensible.
