Sport in Britain
Sport in Great Britain. The British are regarded to be stolid and phlegmatic. True or not, their traditional sports are rather slow and effortless. A good example of such a sport is darts a popular game played in pubs in which short steel darts are thrown at a circular board with the aim of scoring a particular number of points.
As darts is popular among the working class, golf is played by the upper classes. This is an old Scottish game for two or four persons who hit small hard balls with special golf-clubs into 9 or 18 holes on a mown ground called a golf-course.
Cricket is even more sophisticated. The cricketers are usually men traditionally wearing white clothes. The game is played by two teams of 11 people on a mown grass field with special bats and wickets.
The English also like snooker (very similar to billiards) and bowls, a game in which a heavy wooden ball is rolled over a lawn in such a way that it stops as close as possible to a small white ball.
Another British sport is polo (reserved for the elite), a ball game played on horseback with mallets.
The sport mentioned above may be considered as typically British but it does not mean that they are the most popular ones. The vast majority of British people take part in individual sports such as swimming, cycling, fishing, aerobics or just walking. However, only 10% of adults practice sports regularly. Others prefer watching sports on TV. The favourite spectator sports are football (the national game), rugby, athletics and tennis.

The Present Perfect Tense означає дію, яка завершилася до поточного моменту або завершена в період теперішнього часу (в цьому році, на цьому тижні).
The Present Perfect вживається для опису дій, які під час мовлення вже завершені. У цьому випадку в центрі уваги перебуває саме завершена дія.
