Sport in Britain
The British have a reputation for being mad about sports. In fact they like watching sports more than playing them. The British are spectators and the most popular spectator sports are cricket and football.
Football is the most popular game. Football, or soccer, is an example of a professional
game. The game of football was first played in Britain, and later people began to play football in other countries. There are many amateur soccer players in Britain who play the game on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Amateur clubs often play against professionals.
Almost every school has its football team and every boy in Britain knows a lot about the game.
He can tell you the names of the players in the most important teams, he has pictures of them and knows the results of many matches.
Rugby is another popular British sport which is played in other countries. It is also called
rugby football. The story is told that in 1823 boys at Rugby school in England were playing
football in the normal way, when suddenly one boy picked the ball up and ran with it. That was
how a new game was born. There are two forms of rugby football: the amateur game and the
professional game. The two games have different rules.
Football is the favorite winter game in Britain and cricket is the favorite summer sport.
Amateur cricket has the same rules as the professional game. A typical amateur cricket match
takes place on a village green, an open space in the center of the village. It is played between two teams - the "home" team and the "visitors" who come from another village

1). Where can we see this kind of promotion?
This type of promotion, we can see in supermarkets, on the street, in the shopping and entertainment center and in other public places.
2). Which of these promotions might attract you? Why?
I would be attracted to such an action as: reducing the price of potatoes. Because potatoes are necessary in every home, and if the price of potatoes is reduced, it will be very good for disadvantaged families.
3). Which ones would you ignore? Why?
I would ignore such a promotion as: free demonstration of something. Because, from a free demonstration of something, there will be almost no use. Of course, you can learn a lot with a free demo, but it will not bring any benefit to a dysfunctional family.
