The British are known to be great sports-lovers, so when they are neither playing, nor watching games, they like to talk about them. Many of the games we play now have come from Britain.
One of the most British games is cricket. It is often played in schools, colleges, universities and by club teams all over the country. Summer isn't summer without cricket. To many Englishmen cricket is both a game and a standard of behaviour. When they consider anything unfair, they sometimes say: "That isn't cricket."
But as almost everywhere else in the world, the game which attracts the greatest attention is Association football, or soccer. Every Saturday from late August till the beginning of May, large crowds of people support their favourite sides in football grounds. True fans will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team play. There are plenty of professional and amateur soccer clubs all over Britain. International football matches and the Cup Finals take place at Wembley.
Rugby football is also very popular, but it is played mainly by amateurs.
Next to football, the chief spectator sport in British life is horse-racing. A lot of people are interested in the races and risk money on the horse which they think will win. The Derby is perhaps the most famous single sporting event in the whole world.
Britain is also famous for motor-car racing, dog-racing, boat-racing, and even races for donkeys. The famous boat-race between the teams of Oxford and Cambridge attracts large crowds of people.
A great number of people play and watch tennis. Tennis tournaments at Wimbledon are known all over the world. The innumerable tennis courts of Britain are occupied by people between the ages of 16 and 60 who show every degree of skill — from practically helpless to the extremely able.
The British also like to play golf, baseball, hockey, grass-hockey. Various forms of athletics, such as running, jumping, swimming, boxing are also popular. You can sometimes hear that there are no winter sports in England. Of course the English weather is not always cold enough to ski, skate, or toboggan, but winter is a good season for hunting and fishing. Indeed, sport in one form or another is an essential part of daily life in Britain.
Объяснение:
ответ: Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, they travel to enjoy picturesque places or just for a change of scene. It is always interesting to discover new things, to see different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms.
Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shop windows and dining at exotic restaurants. City dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk and bathe and lie in the sun.
On board a large cruise ship people traverse oceans and visit other countries. The ship stops for a day or two in different ports and people go ashore on excursions. Crossing the ocean is a magnificent and very long voyage, with enormous waves before you and a 4-deck liner under you. The only drawback is seasickness, so before starting on a voyage you should find out whether you suffer from it or not.
Now let's consider other drawbacks of travelling. To my mind they are: first of all lack of money for a really comfortable rest; secondly, not always you have a holiday in a proper time and you can't go on a trip with a friend of yours because he has his leave at other time. Or you want to go on a ship cruise, but
some friends can't go because of seasickness (as I have already mentioned),
you want to go riding or skiing in the mountains but the gear and equipment are expensive. What is more, you never know what can the weather be when you get to the other place or country: you may unexpectedly be caught by a typhoon, earthquake or flood. Sometimes it's difficult to get tickets to return home in time or there are sometimes transport delays. So you must be ready for all these disadvantages that you may face during your trip and hope for the best. And consider everything carefully before you go somewhere.
Миллионы людей во всем мире проводят свой отпуск, путешествуя. Они путешествуют, чтобы увидеть другие страны и континенты, современные города и руины древних городов, они путешествуют, чтобы насладиться живописными местами, или просто для смены обстановки. Всегда интересно открывать для себя новое, видеть разные жизни, встречаться с разными людьми, пробовать разную еду, слушать разные музыкальные ритмы.
Те, кто живет в сельской местности, любят ездить в большой город и проводить время, посещая музеи и художественные галереи, глядя на витрины магазинов и обедая в экзотических ресторанах. Городские жители обычно любят спокойный отдых на море или в горах, не имея ничего против прогулки, купания и лежания на солнце.
На борту большого круизного судна люди пересекают океаны и посещают другие страны. Корабль останавливается на день-два в разных портах и люди выходят на берег на экскурсии. Пересечение океана-это великолепное и очень долгое путешествие, с огромными волнами перед вами и 4-палубным лайнером под вами. Единственным недостатком является морская болезнь, поэтому перед началом путешествия следует выяснить, страдаете вы от нее или нет.
Теперь рассмотрим и другие недостатки путешествия. На мой взгляд, это: во-первых, отсутствие денег для действительно комфортного отдыха, во-вторых, не всегда у вас есть отпуск в нужное время, и Вы не можете отправиться в путешествие с вашим другом, потому что у него может быть отпуск только в другое время. Или вы хотите отправиться в круиз на корабле, но некоторые друзья не могут поехать из-за морской болезни (как я уже упоминал).
Вы хотите покататься на горных велосипедах или лыжах в горах, но снаряжение и оборудование дорого. Более того, вы никогда не знаете, какой может быть погода, когда вы добираетесь до другого места или страны: вы можете неожиданно быть застигнуты тайфуном, землетрясением или наводнением. Иногда бывает трудно достать билеты, чтобы вернуться домой вовремя, или бывают задержки транспорта. Таким образом, вы должны быть готовы ко всем этим недостаткам, с которыми вы можете столкнуться во время вашей поездки и надеяться на лучшее.
Но перед путешествием,надо тщательно подумать.
