8. Put in the right order and learn the dialogue.
- Well, I suppose football, that is soccer or rugger, and cricket.
- I should say that is one of the most popular sports in Great Britain. Then there are, of course, walking-races, running, swimming and boxing.
- I’ve been told that there are no winter sports in England.
- Is there any golf to be had near London?
- Oh, yes, any amount. There are dozens of good golf-links within an hour or so of London.
- What about horse- racing?
- Well, you see, the English winter isn’t very severe as a rule, and we don’t often have the chance of skiing, skating or tobogganing, but winter is the great time for hunting.
- You are welcome.
- What are the other outdoor games?
- Thank you for information.
- What would you say are the most popular games in England today?
- Oh, there’s tennis, hockey, golf, and so on.
