Sport is very popular in England. In other words lots of English people like the idea of sport. A lot watch
sport on TV. But the number who take part in (参加) sport is quite small. On the whole English people prefer
to be fat rather than thin.
The most popular sport in England is football. Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and
the supporters (球迷) of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team
play. There are four divisions (级别) of the football league. Not surprisingly the best teams are in the first
division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch
the fourth division football!
Many other sports are also played in England, such as golf, in which you try to knock a ball into a hole;
basketball, in which you try to got a ball through a net (篮筐); tennis, in which you try to hit a ball so that your
opponent (对手) can not hit it. As you see, if the ball had not been invented, there would have been no sport.
Actually (其实), that is not quite true. Athletics (田径) isn't played with a ball; nor horseracing (赛马).
Perhaps that is why they are not so popular as football!
