SportThe British
are known to be great sport lovers. When they are neither playing, nor watching
games, they like to talk about them. Many of games we play now have come from
Britain.
One of the most British games is
cricket. Summer isn’t summer without cricket. But the game, which attracts the
greatest attention, is football, or soccer. There are plenty of professional or
amateur clubs all over Britain. Next to football, the chief spectator in
British life is horse-racing. A lot of people are interested in racing &
risk money on the horse-races. A great number of people play & watch
tennis. Indeed in one form or another sport is an essential part of daily life
in Britain.
Many sports are popular in Russia. They are: hockey, soccer, weightlifting,
track & field, tennis, basketball, volleyball, boxing, figure-skating,
swimming, judo & shooting.
The Russians are not only sports fans.
They take an active part in all sports activities. It’s been a tradition in
this country to divide sport into professional & amateur. There are
different sporting societies & clubs in Russia.
There are many stadiums & public
sports facilities in Russia. Numerous national & international matches
& competitions are regularly held in Russia. They attract a large number of
fans. Most of important games are televised. Thousands of fans go to the
stadiums to support their favorite team & thousands more prefer to watch
games on TV. But watching sports events & going in for sports are two
different things.
There
is no need to speak about the importance of sports & games. They must
become a part of your daily life. Sport helps people to stay in good shape,
helps them to be fit, healthy. Some people go in for sports for pleasure
for relaxation.
So sport attracts a lot of people.
Some of them are members of sporting clubs. They go in different athletic
events, do aerobics, go in for body-building, swimming. You may choose any kind
to your liking & to your health.
As for me, I go to the swimming pool,
because it’s good for my health. Вернуться к сиписку топиков
