Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them． Football, for example, has spread around the world． Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers．
Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping． Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history． But basketball and volleyball are rather new． Neither one is a hundred years old yet． People are inventing new sports or games all the time．

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!

My favourite place for water-sports is Lake Vinney but it has only existed since 1975 when the valley was filled with water to provide electricity． Under the water is the village, Vinnthorpe． Last week I talked to Pat Smithers who runs a shop on the edge of the lake and looks after the huge car park． She said drowning the village was the best thing that ever happened as it brought a lot of business to the area and the number of visitors from all over the country continues to increase． When I asked people enjoying the water-sports, they said they never thought about the drowned houses and streets． When I spoke to some people sitting in the cafe overlooking the lake, I was surprised to find they still feel angry about what happened． They used to live in Vinnthorpe and were moved to other places in the area, among them thirty children who are now mid-dle-aged, but they still miss the village． They say that nobody asked them what they wanted—they were told one day that everything was decided． It is a shame that these people lost their homes and I hope something similar never happens again in the future． I would miss the water-sports if they weren’t there, however, and I must say that I hadn’t ever thought about what was under the water until last week．
