Sport angol tétel: gyakori kérdések és válaszok középszintű érettségire

Sport plays an important role in people’s life. Some people do sport, some watch it only, but there are few people who just don’t care and aren’t interested in it in either way. You can do individual sports and team sports.

Sports can be played indoors or outdoors, and there are also seasonal sports like sledging, skating or skiing in winter or sailing in summer. Working outand doing sports keep you fit and give you energy.

What sports do you do and which ones do you watch?

I think sports are fun to do, so I’ve tried several sports so far, like running, swimming, and aerobics. I like almost all sports, but my personal favorite is auto-racing and ice skating. I like team sports, because I think it is much more entertaining and exciting.

I’m not so fond of doing sports, but I sometimes go skating and skiing in winter, and I go jogging and swimming in summer, if I feel like it. If going to training sessions is not really your world and you prefer doing some sport on your own, you might try jogging, running or fast walking.

People can engage in several kinds of sports, for example:

• water sports (swimming, water polo, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, diving, rowing, surfing, water skiing)
• ball games (football, handball, basketball, volleyball, baseball, floorball, rugby, golf, ice hockey, tennis)
• motor sports (Formula One, Moto GP)
• field sports (hunting, fishing, shooting)
• track and field sports (athletics/running, jumping, throwing, decathlon)
• combat sports (karate, judo, boxing, wrestling)
• extreme sports (bungee jumping, white water rafting, hang gliding, paragliding)

What is the difference between individual and team sports?

You can do individual sports and team sports. A team sport is usually a sort of game that requires physical activity and involves a degree of competition as well, for example, football, baseball, bowling, or basketball. Most people, however, play sports with their friends just for fun.

Team sports bring people together, cheering a team is a great feeling and it’s even greater when your team wins. In professional sport you need coaches to teach or train teams or individuals how to perform better.

What sports do you do at school?

We play ballgames (football, basketball, volleyball, floorball), we do gymnastics (we have floor mats, wall bars, climbing ropes, uneven parallel bars and boxes), and we often run around the lake.

We have several sports teams, and the school organizes a ski camp every year, too.
