Sports

People play and watch sport all over the World. It’s a good International link- a way to find friends in other countries. We explore the International face of sport here

Become a Sports expert. Good luck!

Sport- To do or to watch? Some people play a sport. Others prefer to watch it. What are their reasons?

A-    Way of life

I live near the sea so swimming is part of my life!

I meet my friends on the beach and we have fun.

There are exciting sports like surfing too.

B-     Excitement

Soccer’s my favourite sport. It’s really exciting. It’s really exciting. It’s good to play and it’s good to watch. I always want my team to win. In fact I identify with my team. When they win, I’m really happy. But when they lose, I’m in a bad mood all day!

C-    Travel

Sports people travel a lot. Players go to other cities to compete. Sometimes they go to other countries. Today spectators travel too. There are matches and competitions everywhere. Some people take their holidays to watch sport; the World Cup, the Olympics. Sport is international.

D-    Health

I play tennis. You feel great. You run and jump, and you’re in the fresh air. I always want to win! I watch tennis on TV too, it’s exciting. I love the Wimbledon championships. Every year, I have a favourite player. It’s a good game for men and women.

E-New Skills

It’s exciting to learn a new skill. At first , you can’t do something and then, one day you can do it! Success is good for people. It makes them feel self confident.

F-TV Addict

I love to watch sport- on TV! It’s all there- skiing, hang gliding, horse jumping, and lots more. I can’t see these things in my town, but I can watch them at home. I can dream and perhaps one day…
