Some of them become professionals but majority remains amateurs.

There are voluntary sport societies and health groups in Ukraine. Young and old go in for some kind of sport nowadays. They go in for football, basketball, ice hockey, tennis, chess, wrestling, motoring, etc. At their disposal there are many sport complexes, stadiums, soccer fields, sports grounds, swimming pools and many other sport facilities.

Some Ukrainian athletes have gone down into the history of world sports.

Lessons are over: away we run

To ski through the snow- what fun!

We are off to the pond to skate,

All go altogether, and none are late.

Nelly can dance on the ice like a fairy!

Andy cuts figures and so does Mary,

Ann is the best, like the wind she goes,

Peter is clumsy and falls on his nose.

 

Read the joke. Tell the joke on behalf of a) the stout woman, b) the young man.

A very stout woman was very fond of skating. Once she went down to a lake to spend a few hours on the ice. Very soon she had a bad fall. And as she was very heavy and stout she was unable to get up. She sat on the ice looking sad. A young man came skating up to her and helped her to rise.

"Is it your first time on the ice?" he asked. "No," she answered. "It is not my first but it will be my last, thank you."

Basketball

Basketball is played on a court with a large orange ball. There are five players on each team. Each team moves the ball across the court bouncing (or "dribbling") it. The players can also throw, or pass the ball to each other. They then try to shoot the ball into the basket, or hoop, to score a point. The team with the most points wins.

Football

Football is a field game between two teams, played with an oval-shaped ball. The quarterback starts by throwing, or passing, the ball to one of the players, called a receiver. The receiver then tries to run with it toward the goal. The players of the other team try to tackle him to prevent him from reaching the goal line. The team with the most points wins.

What Is Football?

Long, long ago, when people in many countries did not know anything about football, a traveller visited England and saw a football match for the first time. This is how he described the game in a letter to his friends:

"Englishmen have a funny game. They take a large ball, the size of a man's head, and begin to kick the ball and run after it. Some players kick the ball quickly, others kick it slowly. Those who cannot kick the ball, kick the legs of the other players. During the whole game a man runs on the field and blows a whistle from time to time."

Soccer

Soccer is a field game between two teams, played with a white round ball. The goalkeeper is the only one who can touch the ball with his or her hands. The other players are only allowed to kick the ball or bump in with their heads. The object of one of the game is to kick the ball past the goalkeeper into the goal. The team with the most points, or goals, is.

My First Football Match

to explain - пояснити                                   to get acquainted - знайомитися

muddy - забруднений                                  lazy - лінивий

to refuse - відмовляти                                  to discover - виявити

delight - задоволення                                   back to front - тут навиворіт

to tease – дражнити                                      miserable - нещасний

courage - мужність

Sports have never interested me. I cannot explain why it is so: may be because, unlike most boys, I do not enjoy wearing dirty clothes and muddy boots. Clothes certainly cannot be neat and clean when one plays football or something. Or, more likely, it is because I am too lazy.

I first got acquainted with football at games a year ago which was the first time I had to play. It so happened that some of the boys, who had never missed a game, were away, and the rest of our boys said that I was to play. I had no reason to refuse. And I did not want the boys to discover that I had never played football before. The first few game days were, to my delight, rainy ones, but I knew that one-day it would be fine. At that we had to change our clothes in one of the schoolrooms, and then walk to the stadium in shorts and football shirts which were not very good, especially when the cold wintry winds blew. At playtime we went to change our clothes, and I put on my football shirt back to front. When I was ready, everyone made a fool of me. When the boys were teasing me, I tried to show I didn't care much, but I had never felt so miserable in all my life. The boys talked all the way to the stadium. They discussed the game and the other team, which was; we knew it, rather strong. And I could think of nothing else but what I should look like on the field.

Physical Culture in English Schools

English schoolchildren have two types of physical culture lessons gym (=gymnastics) lessons and games, especially team games. At the physical culture lessons they run and jump, they do exercises on the horse; they play volley-ball or basket-ball.

Team games are very important in English schools. Boys play football or rugby in winter, and cricket and tennis in summer. Girls play grass hockey in the colder months of the year and tennis, volley-ball and basket-ball in summer.

Every team has a game's captain, that is, a pupil whom the pupils themselves have chosen to help the teacher to get out and put away the games equipment, and to organize the teams of his or her form.

Football is the most popular game in England because England is the home of football. English boys play football at school and in the parks. Englishmen like to play Rugby football, too. In Rugby the player may hold the ball in his hands and run with it. The ball in Rugby football is not round, it is oval. There are fifteen players in a team. Rugby takes its name from the name of the English school where they first began to play the game. In 1823 a boy took the ball in his hands and ran with it. This was a new game and the boys liked it.

Rugby – form of football played by two teams of 15 players using an oval-shaped ball

 

These are English games. Read about them, ask a question to each sentence. Be ready to make a report on this topic.

Cricket is as popular in summer as football in winter. Most boys play cricket at school and many of them continue to play cricket after they leave school in cricket clubs. Cricket is played by two teams of eleven players on a large field. It is difficult to understand cricket if you have never played it. Cricket is a slow game and may last an afternoon or two afternoons when there are matches between schools. A match may last three or four days when the match is played by professional players.

In England hockey, or field or grass hockey, is mainly a women's or girls' game. But men and boys also play it. Then the game becomes faster. Most girls play field hockey at school.

Ice-hockey is played by men and boys, but it is not very popular. There are two kinds of ice-hockey: ice-hockey with a ball and ice-hockey with a puck. The climate in England is not cold enough for ice-hockey out-of-doors.

Tennis is a very popular game in England. On summer evenings, Saturday afternoons and on Sundays thousands of girls and boys, men and women play tennis. They like this game very much. It is often played on a grass court, but the game is slower there.

Netball and basket-ball are mainly the same game. The ball is large and it is thrown into a net or basket. Netball is a very popular game with schoolgirls in England.

Rounders (англійська лапта) is a children's game. It is played on a field by two teams with a bat and a ball like a tennis-ball.

Sports in Great Britain

 

Read the text, work in groups of four and tell about different English sports to each other.

National sports in Great Britain... It is a very interesting question, because many kinds of sport have taken the origin in England.

The Englishmen love sports, they are called sports-lovers in spite of that fact, that some of them neither play games nor even watch them. They only like to speak about sports.

Some kinds of sport are professional in England. Popular and famous players have a lot of money.

Many traditional sporting contests take place in England, for example, cricket. It is played from May till September. This game is associated with England. There are many cricket clubs in this country. English people like to play cricket. They think that summer without cricket isn't summer. Cricket is the English national sport in summer. If you want to play cricket you must wear white boots, a white shirt and white long trousers. There are two teams. Each team has eleven players. Cricket is popular in boys' schools. Girls play cricket too.

Football. It has got a long history. Football was played by the whole village teams in the middle ages in England. Now football is the most popular game in Britain. It is a team game. There are some amateur teams but most of the teams are professional ones in England. Professional football is a big business. Football is played at schools too. If we speak about football we can mention an interesting fact in American football, called soccer. The captain of the team must be the oldest or best player.

Rugby football. You can see a ball in this game, but it is not round. It is oval. This is a team game. There are fifteen players in each team. It is a popular game in England. There are many amateur rugby football teams.

Table tennis. Englishmen heard about table tennis in 1880. Then the International Table Tennis Association was formed and the international rules were worked out.

Many people like to play table tennis. This game is played by men and women too. There are some tennis clubs in England, but if you go and play there it is necessary to pay money for it.

Englishmen like playing tennis but many of them prefer to watch this game.

Wimbledon. It is the centre of lawn tennis. Some years ago Wimbledon was a village, now it is a part of London and you can see All-England Tennis Club there.

Englishmen pay much attention to swimming, rowing and walking. Usually the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race takes place at the end of March or at the beginning of April. It is an interesting contest between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. It is usually held on the Thames River. The first such race was held in 1820. There were a lot of people watching this race.

There are some racing competitions in England. They are motor-car racing, dog-racing, donkey-racing, boat-racing, horse-racing. All kinds of racings are popular in England. It is interesting to see the egg-and-spoon race. The runner, who takes part in this competition, must carry an egg in a spoon. It is not allowed to drop the egg.

We must speak about the Highland Games in Scotland. All competitors wear Highland dress. There are such competitions as putting the weight, tossing the caber and others. The English are great lovers of sports.

In the Park

It was spring. A well-dressed gentleman came into the park and sat down on a bench under a tree. He looked around at the trees, the flowers and the green grass. Then he saw a boy six or seven years old, who lay on the ground and watched him.

"What's the matter, sonny?" asked the gentleman. "Why don't you go and play?"

"I don't want to play," said the boy.

"Why not? Look at those boys over there! They are running and playing bail. Why don't you want to run and play?" asked the gentleman.

OLYMPIC GAMES

Olympic Games are the greatest international sports games in the world.

The Olympic Games have an interesting and long history. The competitions of athletes took place in Greece. They were only for men. Women were neither allowed to take part in the Olympic Games nor to watch them. Women were allowed to take part in the second Olympic Games, which were held in Paris in 1900. There were six women at these Games. They took part in the tennis competitions.

It was twenty eight centuries ago in 776 B.C.

The most important competitions in Olympia were named the Olympic Games.

The Olympic Games were a holiday. They were held every four years (through 1417 days). The Olympic Games included events in racing, boxing, jumping, horse racing and wrestling.

The Olympic Games became the symbol of peace and friendship. In 394 A.D. the Games stopped and the temple at Olympia was destroyed. Fifteen hundred years later, in 1894, a Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin persuaded people from fifteen countries to start the Olympic Games again. The first of the modern series of Games took place in Athens two years later, in 1896.

The International Olympic Committee was set up and began to work in 1896. There were competitions in many kinds of sports: jumping and running, boxing and swimming, athletics, football, basket-ball and others. At the fourth Olympics, in 1908, in London, there were more than two thousand competitors, from twenty-two different countries.

Summer and Winter Games are held separately. Winter Olympic Games first took place in 1924. There were competitions in skiing, skating, ice hockey and etc. Since 1936 the opening ceremony is celebrated by lighting a flame, which is called "The Olympic Flame".

The Olympic Games first took place in England in the 17th century. They were held from about 1612 till 1852.

Many people want the Olympic Games to be held in their cities, but it depends on the decision of the international Olympic Committee. The Olympic Games were held in the cities of Europe, America, Asia and Australia. Our country joined the Olympic Movement in 1952.

The 22nd Summer Olympic Games were held in Moscow in 1980 (from July 19 to August 3).

The Olympic Games have become a wonderful sports tradition. They help to bring peoples closer together.

Do you know that...

The Olympic Games always begin with the lighting of the Olympic Flame, the fire from the temple of Olympia, which is the symbol of friendly competition.

 

Boxing is an old sport, going back to the days of ancient Greece, where it was an important part of the Olympic Games. The Olympics were held during the hottest part of summer, and the boxers were rubbed with oil to limit perspiration. Their hands were bound with heavy leather strips often loaded with lead or iron. The sport passed from Greece to Rome, but after the of Rome it was unknown in Europe until the 18-th century, when James Figg introduced gloveless fighting in England, and opened a boxing school in London.

Basketball

It was a rainy day in November, 1891. An instructor at Springfield college in Massachusetts climbed up a ladder and nailed a fruit basket to the wall of the gymnasium. Then he climbed down the ladder. He picked up a football and threw it. The ball went into the basket. As he climbed back up the ladder to get the ball, the man was very glad. Maybe he had solved his problem! Well, he would soon see.

Ten minutes later, eighteen young men ran into the little gym. The instructor put nine boys on one side and nine on the other. He told them to throw the ball to each other or bounce it and, when they were near the wall where the basket was nailed, to try and throw the ball into the basket.

The game started, and what a game it was!

When several of the young men fell to the floor as they were playing, the instructor stopped the game. "Something is wrong in this game," he said. "This is too unpleasant."

He sat down and took out a piece of paper and a pencil. "Now let's have some rules—and let's observe them!" He paused for a minute, thinking. Then he began, "Rule number one: No one can run with the ball! You have to throw it or bounce it to someone else on your side."

They all agreed that it was a good rule.

"Rule number two: If a man pushes another player to get the ball, the game will stop. The man pushed will have a free throw at the basket Nobody must try to catch the ball on its way to the basket."

That rule, too, was good. Quickly, other rules were made. When the game started again, there was less pushing, fewer men falling, and better passing of the ball from one man to another. A second basket was nailed to the wall at the other end of the gym.

The man, who nailed the fruit baskets to the wall, was a young Canadian. His name was James Naismith, and he was a college teacher.

to climb (up) — взбиратися; ladder — дробина; to nail —прибивати цвяхами; basket — кошик; to bounce [bauns]—тут.робити пробіжку з підстрибуючим м’ячем; to push — штовхати.

AT THE MEETING OF THE SCHOOL SPORTS CLUB

mostly— головним чином

to improve —покращати

to break [breik] the record — побити рекорд

to do one's training—тренуватися

 

Steve, the president of the school sports club, and his friends have gathered together to discuss the different problems of the coming summer sports season.

STEVE: First, allow me to say a few words about the work of our school sports club. As you know, 90 per cent of the pupils of our school go in for different sports. During the winter season they went in mostly for skiing and skating. Our best skier is Andriy Manko and our best skater is Oleh Kravchuk. Many girls and boys in our school like to play table tennis (ping-pong). The team of Form 9B has won its last two games and has taken first place. I must say, they are really very good players, and other teams can learn much from them.

VADIM: What can you say about the work of our chess section?

STEVE: I am sorry to say that our chess-players are still very weak. They lost almost all their games to the teams of other schools. They must improve. Our draughts section is also beginning to worry me. At the moment they are  playing a number of games with School No. 5, and I am

sorry to say, they are losing by a score of 5-1 (five to one).

NINA: Do you think, Steve, that our volley-ball team will take first place?

STEVE: Our volley-ball team is not a bad one, and I hope they will take first or second place in the city games.

Now a few words about our jumpers and runners. Tolya Rozov broke the old school record for the long jump and has set a new one. And Vova Gorov has also set a new record for the high jump. I think more pupils will take part in the summer races this year than last.

TOLYA: And what are you planning for the summer?

STEVE: Now this is what we are planning for the summer.

Our football team will play against School No. 10 again. We must win this game by all means. You remember that last year our team lost by 3-1. We shall do all our training at the Stadium this year, and I am sure this will help us to become a really good team.

And this season, we plan to set new city swimming records for schoolchildren. Our swimmers are the strongest in the whole city, and we are proud of them.

When Steve finished speaking, his listeners asked him many questions.

After that he was again elected president of the school sports club.

A Football Match

Victor Mykolayovich Kovalenko and his son Boris went to the stadium on Saturday to see a football match between Dynamo, the team of their town, and Metallurg, a team from another town.

The match began at five o'clock, but all the stands were full of spectators at half past four. At last the teams came out on to the field and the match began. Metallurg attacked Dynamo's goal, but the Dynamo team defended their goal splendidly. Then Dynamo took the ball quickly into Metallurg half of the field. Dynamo's captain sent the ball into the corner of Metallurg's   goal. Metallurg's  goal-keeper  jumped and stopped the ball, but another Dynamo player sent it into the goal.

"Goal! One — nil in our favour!" shouted Boris.

Metallurg began again from the centre of the field and slowly came nearer to Dynamo's goal. Dynamo fought bravely to defend their goal. But soon Metallurg attacked again and the score was 1:1. A few minutes later came half time.

During the second half, both teams played beautifully. The fans shouted more and more loudly, "Come on, Dynamo!" Come on, Metallurg!" Boris and his father watched with great interest. Soon Dynamo's captain sent the ball into Metallurg 's goal. "Two to one in our favour!" shouted the spectators from Boris's town. They cheered and shouted, "Well played, Dynamo!"

Metallurg began to attack again, the ball went quickly from one player to another. But Dynamo's players defended themselves excellently. They did not want to lose the match.

When the second half ended, the score was 2:1 in favour of Dynamo. Boris and his father and all the Dynamo fans cheered them for their victory.

On the skating-rink

Pat: Look, Jane! That's Paul dancing with his sister Margaret, You know you met them at my party.

Jane: Oh, yes, of course. How well they dance!

Pat: They've seen us, they're coming over here!

Paul: Hullo! Want to have a try? The ice is good!

Pat: I'm afraid we've got no skates, Paul.

Paul: Never mind, you can put on mine if you like, and Jane, Margaret's.

Pat: No, thank you, that's awfully kind of you, but we can't skate, you know. I wish I could.

Paul: Then it's high time you learned, you lazy thing.

Pat: Some other time perhaps, but now we want to try our new sledge.

Paul: I see, what about tomorrow? I have another pair of skates at home and so has Margaret. We'd be glad to bring them for you. What do you say?

Pat: I'd like to, but I don't know about Jane.

Jane: Oh. I'd love to learn!

Paul: Splendid! That's settled then. Same time, same place?

Pat: All right.

Paul: So long then. See you tomorrow.

Pat: So long!

 

 Read the text, write the plan and tell it.

In a few minutes they all started walking towards the ice. Mr. Wardle and the other gentlemen quickly put on their skates and began describing circles and figures of eight on the smooth surface. Meanwhile, Mr. Pickwick, Mr. Tupman and the ladies stood on the bank and looked on with the greatest interest. All this while Mr. Winkle, with his face and hands blue with the cold, was trying to put on his skates. At last with the help of Mr. Weller the skates were put on and Mr. Winkle was raised to his feet.

"Now, then. Sir," said Sam, in an encouraging tone,"show them how to do it." "Stop, Sam, stop!" said Mr. Winkle, holding Sam's arm. "How slippery it is, Sam!" "Not an uncommon thing with ice, Sir," replied Мг. Weller. "Hold up, Sir." "These— these skates are very awkward," said Mr. Winkle. "I am afraid there is an awkward gentleman in them, Sir," replied Sam. "Now, Winkle!" cried Mr. Pickwick. "Come! The ladies are waiting for you." "Yes, yes," replied Mr. Winkle with a forced smile, "I am coming."

"It is only difficult to begin, Sir," said Sam. "Now, Sir, start off."

"Stop an instant, Sam," said Mr. Winkle. "I find that I have a nice coat at home that I don't want, Sam. You can take it, Sam." "Thank you, Sir," replied Mr. Weller. "Never mind touching your hat, Sam. And don't take your hand away to do it. I thought of giving you five shillings this morning, Sam. I will give them to you this afternoon, Sam."

"You are very good, Sir," replied Mr. Weller. "But just hold me at first, Sam, will you?" said Mr. Winkle. "There that is right. Not too fast, Sam, not too fast."

And so Mr. Winkle moved slowly along the ice, assisted by Mr. Weller, but suddenly Mr. Pickwick shouted:

"Sam!"

"Sir?" said Mr. Weller.

"Here, I want you."

"Let me go, Sir," said Sam. "Don't you hear Mr. Pickwick is calling me? Let me go, Sir."

And pushing Winkle forward, Mr. Weller left him alone and ran towards Mr. Pickwick.

Poor Mr. Winkle made a few awkward movements but almost immediately ran against another member of the company—Mr. Bob Sawyer who was just then describing a beautiful figure of eight on the ice. Both fell down heavily.

Wimbledon – an unusual club

People all over the world know Wimbledon as the centre of lawn tennis. But most people do not know that it was famous for another game before tennis was invented. Wimbledon is now a part of Greater London. In 1874 it was a country village, but it had a railway station, and it was the home of the All England Croquet Club. The Club had been there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championships did not attract many spectators. So the Club had very little money, and the members were looking for ways of getting some. "This new game of lawn tennis seems to have plenty of action, and people like watching it," they thought. "Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on somе of our beautiful croquet lawns?"

In 1875 they changed the name of the Club to the "All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club", and that is the name that you will still find in the telephone book. Two years later, in 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championships (men's singles). The winner was S W. Gore, a Londoner. There were 22 players, and the 200 spectators, each paid one shilling. Those who watched were dressed in the very latest fashion—the men in hard top hats and long coats, and the ladies in dresses that reached to the ground! The Club gained £10. It was saved.

Wimbledon grew. There was some surprise and doubt, of course, when the Club allowed women to play in the first women's singles championship in 1884. But the ladies played well — even in long skirts that hid their legs and feet.

The Wimbledon championships begin on the Monday nearest to June 22, at a time when England often has its finest weather. It is not only because of the tennis that people like to go there. When the weather is good, it is a very pleasant place to spend an afternoon. The grass is fresh and green, the players wear beautiful white clothes, the spectators are dressed in the latest fashion, there may be members of the Royal Family among them, and there are cool drinks in the open-air cafés next to the tennis courts.

Millions of people watch the championships on television. The Club's £10 gain in 1877 has grown to more than £50,000 in the 1970s. Most of this goes to the Lawn Tennis Association. But if you want to join the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, you will find that it is not at all easy. There are only 400 members — 350 men and 50 women. Singles champions are usually made honorary members. Some people say that the easiest way to become a member of the Club is to win the singles in the Wimbledon Championships.
