Sport in Kyrgyzstan is not just recreation, but also training of willpower. People had to be strong and resourceful in order to survive in the mountains and steppes, and sports helped them acquire the necessary skills for this. Sport also reflected the traditions and values of the Kyrgyz people, helping them pass their culture down from generation to generation over the centuries.
The most popular sporting events in Kyrgyzstan are equestrian games. Kok-Boru is a game in which, having split into teams of eight people, riders on horseback fight for the carcass of a goat, and having captured it, they must throw it into the opponent's goal, for which they are given points. Both the rider and the horse require a great deal of endurance and willpower, as well as a tolerance for pain. The rider also needs to be strong enough and physically prepared to lift a carcass from the ground and fight for a trophy with another player; at the same time, you need to dodge and repulse the attacks of opponents, and this cannot be done without dexterity. Finally, victory can only be achieved by working together, becoming a united team and clearly understanding your partners. Regular games in kok-boru in ancient times were for the men of Kyrgyzstan the most real training before the war and hunting.
1. Replace the words in capital letters with the synonyms.
Some of the rules of Englishness are so obvious that you could spot them from a helicopter, without even setting foot in the country. HANG IN THE AIR (HOVER) above any English town for a few minutes, and you will see that the residential areas consist almost entirely of rows and rows of small boxes, each with its own VERY SMALL (TINY) patch of green. In some parts of the country, the boxes will be a greyish colour, in others, a sort of reddish-brown. In more affluent areas, the boxes will be spaced further apart, and the patches of green attached to them will be larger. But the principle will be clear: the English all want to live in their own private box with their own private little green bit.
What you cannot see from your helicopter, you will learn as soon as you try to visit an English home. You may have the address and a map, but you will have great difficulty in finding the house you are looking for. The Hungarian humorist George Mikes claimed that «an English town is a VERY BIG (VAST)
conspiracy to GIVE INCORRECT INFORMATION TO (MISLEAD) foreigners», citing the indisputable facts that our streets are never straight, that every time a street bends it is given a different name (except when the bend is so sharp that it really makes two different streets), that we have at least 60 confusing synonyms for «street» (place, mews, crescent, terrace, rise, lane, gate, etc.), and that street names are in any case always carefully hidden. Even if you manage to find the correct street, the numbering of the houses will be hopelessly inconsistent and idiosyncratic, further MADE MORE DIFFICULT (COMPLICATED) by many people choosing to give their houses names rather than numbers.
My taxi-driver interview can be a bit helpful to explain this: «An Englishman’s home is his castle, right? He can’t actually have the moat and drawbridge, but he can make it bloody difficult to get to».
But an Englishman’s home is much more than just his castle, the embodiment of his privacy rules, it is also his PERSONALITY (IDENTITY), his main status-indicator and his prime obsession. And the same goes for English women. This is why a house is not just something that you passively «have», it is something that you «do», something that you «work on».
2. Some houses have names, not numbers, which can be very helpful for foreigners.
