syorts on the television = these are all main ways in which many British
people lke to relax on weekends or holidays. Such activities tll us about
how modern British people like to spend their leisuretime: but if you lok
more closely, we can see these activities are not just recent inventions, but
fare deeply rooted in the British culture over many centuries. Today wo will
{alk about some sports which we see played throughout the world and were
bom in Bitain,
Lets begin with foatall. As we all known Britain isthe place of oriin of
‘modern fothall Tho idee of sports having seasons — like the fothal season
“also comes fom the natural rhythms of am agricultural society, where the
timing of harvests and the general weather alfcted how peuple spent their
timo, Footballs played in easly spring when the weather ie wet and not to
fold. In winter, bad weather kept peoplo indoors and they had not so much
‘work to do on their farm. So men used to doing hard work, physical labour
found they needed to release their enerey (Q31) and so got together
regularly to play bostvoas and fost games lke football. Meauwhile ding
the Renaissance (Q32) football has been regarded as a rough sport for the
aristocratic young men although al aca lasses used to join ine the local
foothll match, Today, violence is sill associated with football. "Football
hooligans, supporters of rival teams, sometimes cash before, during and
ater matches and run riot through the ety oe town, breaking windows and
beating eachother up, Ofcourse the fontall violence gets a at af attention
[Nowadays, before some ig matches when trouble s expected, poice usually
patrol the streets, pubs else to the fotball courts and some shops even Teck
their doors and shutter their windows, The Fothall Association was setup

Amore gentle sport that is very popular in the world is tenis. Wimbledon,
a town near London, is where the wards tap plavers gather to ompete, It
has heen one of the major sports events of the British calendar. As we all
know tennis was invented in Britain but few people know tnnis owes its
‘oniins to the church (Q24) Anvording to the records by the mid-ifteenth
century, people were making s game of bouncing a hall ofthe wide oftheir
local churches or cathedrals, Gest using the hand and later a racquet. Football, archery, tennis and other sports were frequently played in church
yards
In England, the sound of summer is said to be the sound of Teather on
willow” ~ the ball hitting m ericket bat. Cricket was one of the very first team
‘ports in Britain to be played according to the same organised res
nationally. Before the Vietorian era, and in modem Britain, people from all
walks of life play cricket, but in the nineteenth century, (Q35) cricket
‘became a sport associated with the upper classes. It was a kind of a "snob
game played by boys who attended public schools. And then the sport
‘became popular inthe public school system in che colonies of Australia, New
‘Zealand, India and Pakistan. British Eglih is fll of idioms to the sport,

‘The true sport of British Kings (and Queens) is ot skiing or golfing but
horse racing. (Q37) National horse races have been held throughout Britain
for hundreds of yeats, The horse at the heart of medieval life was a symbol
of authority and wealth and necessary to traveling, hunting and warfare
"The sport of viding a horse is stil considered rather snobbish or aristocratic
sport because the average British family cannot alfrd to own. a horse
‘Meanvhile, there are stables which rent horses and offer viding courses at
fordable prices. So certainly, almost everyone can afford to place a bet on a
Ihorse race now and then. As a sport of kings, kings and commoners alike
enjoy betting on the horses, The Queen, who likes riding, als likes betting
fn the horses and often attends some major races. Although she
tentremely rich, she gets very excited when the horse she has placed her
‘money on wins
‘There are two kinds of horse racing: the Dat rae, (38) where horses and
riders compete on a fat, oval track; and the steeplechase, which is racing
