Sport in Britain
The British are a sporting nation. Like everyone else they love football - in fact, they invented it. Most British towns and cities have a football team. Every year, each team plays in the Football Association competition. The two best teams play in the Cup final at Wembley Stadium in London. It is one of the biggest sporting events of the year.
Tennis is another popular game in Britain. Every summer, in June, the biggest international tennis tournament takes place at Wimbledon, a suburb of London. There are strawberries and cream for sale, and everyone hopes the rain will stay away.
The British play many sports that are unknown in most other countries, for example: cricket, squash and netball.
Cricket is a typically British sport which foreigners have difficulty in understanding. The game looks slow, but it can be exciting if you understand what's going on. There are two teams of eleven players: one man (“the bowler”) throw the ball, and the “batsman” hits it with his bat.
Cricket is a very long game. Matches last from one to five days. Squash is another British invention. It is a form of tennis. There are two players and they use rackets similar to tennis rackets and a small, black rubber ball. They play indoors. It is a very fast and tiring sport!
Netball is similar to basketball. There are seven players (usually girls or women) in each team and the object of the game is the same as in basketball: to throw the ball through a net at the top of a three-metre post.
Swimming is very popular in Britain and there are many public swimming baths.
Many British people who live near the sea, a lake or a river enjoy sailing. If you are really enthusiastic, you can take part in one of the annual sailing races or “regattas” as Cowes, near Portsmouth, for example, or at Henley on the river Thames.
Golf is becoming increasingly popular. Athletic is growing all the time.
Winter sports such as skiing are generally impossible in Britain (except Scotland) owing to the unsuitable climate, but more and more people spend winter holidays on the Continent in order to take part in them.
Note:
-
football (coll. soccer) - a game in which there are eleven players on each side, using a round ball which must not be touched with the hands.
-
rugby (coll. rugger) - a form of football in which the players use their hands for carrying the ball. The game is played with fifteen men on each side, and an oval-shaped ball is used.

IV It is interesting to know
1 Read the text about the country where many sports were invented and many game rules were written:
The British and sport
Britain does not often produce sportsmen or sportswomen who are successful in world sporting championships, but it has been good at inventing sports and writing the rules of games.
Golf was first played in Scotland in the fifteen century and the most famous golf club, Saint Andrews in Scotland, is still the most respected authority on golf in the world. Cricket was first played in England in the sixteenth century and its rules were written in the eighteen century.
Nineteenth-century team sports, such as football, rugby and hockey, were first played in British public schools. The rules for all of these games were written between 1870 and 1890.
to be good at inventing sports - бути здатним вигадувати види спорту
the most respected authority - найбільш поважний авторитет
2 Read the texts about some particulars of cricket, rugby and fishing
Cricket
Most people think of cricket as a slow sport, but the ball can be bowled at speeds of 85 miles per hour.
Cricket is a popular summer sport in England. It is played much in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but it is played in the Commonwealth countries of Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and the West Indies.
Every year there are Test Matches between all these countries. A Test Match can last for up to five days. Usually the Commonwealth countries play much better and faster cricket than England.
to bowl the ball - подавати м'яч
Commonwealth countries - країни Британської Співдружності Націй
Test Matches - Залікові матчі
Rugby
Rugby takes its name from Rugby School in the Midlands. In 1823, a boy playing football at the school picked up the ball and ran with it.
Rugby is a type of football. It is played with an oval ball and players can both kick or run with it. There are two types of rugby: in Rugby Union there are teams of 15 players, who are amateurs, and it is played by England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland (a joint team from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland), France, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. There are regular matches between these countries. In Rugby League there are 13 players in a team, the players are all professionals and it is mostly played in the north of England and Australia.
to pick up the ball - піднімати м'яч
to kick - штовхнути ногою
a joint team - об'єднана команда
Fishing
One of the most popular individual sports for men in Britain is fishing, also called angling. The most expensive type of fishing is for salmon and trout: these fish are only found in private rivers and lakes. Nearly 4 million anglers in Britain wait hours beside canals, rivers and lakes to catch a fish. Then they weigh it and normally throw it back into the water again.
angling - рибна ловля
salmon - лосось
trout - форель
angler - рибалка
to catch the fish - ловити рибу
to weigh - зважувати
to throw back - викидати
3 Read the text how the British keep fit:
Keeping fit
There are 2000 sports centres in Britain: one for every town, large or small. They were built mostly in the 1980s to encourage the public to take part in sport. The number of people who take part in sport has risen, but not many people exercise more than once a month.
The majority of people live in towns and cities, where space for team sports is limited. To keep fit, most people take part in individual sports. They usually go walking, swimming, cycling, or do aerobics. Taking part in all of these sports is informal and casual. Most people just want to relax. If they do aerobics or go swimming, they usually go to the sport centre, but not many people join a sports club.
Although many British people are interested in staying healthy, not many people do very much about it. A recent survey proved that many people were not as active as they thought and incorrectly believed that they did enough exercise to stay healthy. Only 10 per cent of adults take part in sport more than twice a week.
snooker - більярд
to encourage the public - заохочувати громадськість
to exercise sport - займатися спортом
space - простір
informal and casual - неофіціальний та нерегулярний
to join sport clubs - вступати в спортивний клуб
The most popular sports played by men in Britain:
Walking - 47 %
Snooker - 25 %
Swimming - 15 %
Cycling - 13 %
The most popular sorts played by women n Britain:
Walking - 50 %
Aerobics - 21%
Swimming - 20 %
Cycling - 9 %
