- Jack I need to know more about sports in the Great Britain, can you help me?
+ Yeah, of course!
what should I do?
- Just answer my questions completely.
+ Okay, let's get started.
- What are the most popular games in England nowadays?
+ Well, I suppose football that is soccer or rugger, and cricket.
- What are the other outdoor games?
+ Oh, there is tennis, golf and so on. Tennis is played all the year round – on hard courts or grass courts in summer, and on hard or covered courts in winter.
- What about horse-racing?
+ I should say that that is one of the most popular sports in Great Britain. Then there are, of course, walking-races, running, swimming and boxing.
- I’ve been told that there are no winter sports in England.
+ Well, you see, the English winter isn’t very severe as a rule, and we don’t often have a chance of skiing, skating or tobogganing. But winter is a great time for hunting, providing the ground is not too hard.
- Are there any golf courses to be had near London?
+ Oh, yes, any amount. There are dozens of good golf links within an hour or so of London. You ought to join a golf club if you’re keen on the game.
- I think I shall if I get a chance. And what about indoor games?
+ Well, there’s chess, billiards, table tennis and so on. By the way, do you play billiards?
- Well, I do, but of course, I’m not a professional or a champion. I’m just an ordinary amateur and not a very good one at that.
Thomas was a good guy from a good family. His father was an engineer in a factory, and his mother worked as a teacher. Thomas loved music from childhood and showed an interest in literature. But he was pretty sad. For the sake of a better job for his father, Thomas's family moved to an unfamiliar area. This area lived by its own laws. The people there were not like Thomas at all. Many of them were angry and liked to arrange fights. We can understand them, too, but Thomas didn't like it at all. Soon Thomas was left without friends. Every day he felt lonely, but there was nothing he could do about it. And one day Thomas made a wish. He wanted to find his place in society and be happy. Thomas promised himself that he would do everything for the sake of his dream. And finally, he realized that everyone is comfortable next to similar people.

- OK, that would be enjoyable.
